Great price on this residential building lot located in the lakeside and golf course community of Sudden Valley. The property slopes up from the road, making it conducive for a 2-story (or 3-story) home plan with a daylight basement (including garage) on the lowest level. The property faces south and receives loads of sunshine. This is one of the finest neighborhoods for sun exposure and walk-ability. The neighborhood is relatively level all the way to Huckleberry Park, to the gate-9 entrance, to the gate-13 entrance, and back to the property. The property has been previously surveyed - so the corners should be visible. Public services include: water, sewer, electricity, & cable. The vacant lot to the right is owned by the homeowner above - and is part of a combined double-lot providing loads of 'elbow room' to 69 Honeycomb Lane when developed. The vacant lot on the left is owned by the homeowner on the left.

5351 Dinkel Rd was purchased in 2019 for the purpose of reforestation. This is the main reason for the lack of infrastructure. A well can be dug on the land, and there is access to power from the main road. However, most of the property is wetland, which will limit the size and location of any potential homes. A detailed map of potential site planning is provided. Additionally, there is an easement established in 1965 around the well pump that prohibits construction within a certain radius. While there is a road that provides access to the western portion of the land, it is extremely wet in sections closer to the middle of the land and there is a ditch for water flow that runs the length of the property from north to south. Year-round access to the western section of the property is possible, but reinforcements would need to be made. Various types of trees and shrubs have been planted on the property, including willow, shore pine, hawthorn berry, cedar, Nootka rose, snowberry, aspen, dogwood, comfrey, elecampane, apple, currant, walnut, chestnut, salal, rhubarb, and cardoon.
