One of the last hilltop lots in Whispering Oaks West, this 3.18-acre parcel offers a rare opportunity for a well-prepared buyer to build a true custom home in a setting that delivers privacy, views, and real potential. Set behind the gates of this scenic Sierra Foothill community, the property features usable land, scattered oak trees, and expansive mountain views that make the homesite feel both elevated and secluded. This is more than a raw parcel. The property includes a certified pad ready to build, an existing operational water well, electrical infrastructure in place with final PG&E wiring pending, and a gravel-based rock driveway from the road to the top of the site. For a buyer who understands the value of groundwork already in place, this parcel stands apart. Whispering Oaks West is known for its natural beauty and community amenities, including paved roads, equestrian and hiking trails, a community fishing hole, clubhouse, lakeside park, bonfire pits, and access to the private community lake and dock. The CC&Rs require a minimum 2,200 square foot custom home, helping preserve the quality and character of the neighborhood. Located approximately 30 minutes from UC Merced, about 2.5 hours from San Francisco, and roughly 1 hour 15 minutes from Yosemite National Park, this property offers the chance to create a private foothill retreat in one of the area’s most distinctive gated communities.
