San Francisco real estate just got even more wild, and we’re here for the drama. Imagine a dreamy 1.7-acre plot nestled in the city, surrounded by eucalyptus trees and overlooking a picturesque reservoir – sounds like a developer’s fantasy, right? Wrong.

This massive chunk of land at 113-193 Warren Drive is basically the real estate equivalent of being stuck in relationship limbo: it exists, but you can’t actually do anything with it. Why? Because it’s completely landlocked, with zero legal access routes. Talk about real estate blue balls.

The Catch of the Century

The property, currently listed for a cool $1.35 million, comes with a massive asterisk. Want to build your dream home? Good luck negotiating an easement through a maze of surrounding properties, including San Francisco Public Utilities Commission land. The previous owner’s ambitious plan to construct 38 townhomes? Totally squashed.

Bureaucratic Nightmare Central

Securing access isn’t just complicated – it’s a potential years-long odyssey of public hearings, legal negotiations, and enough paperwork to make a city planner weep. The Mayor’s Housing Office optimistically claims it’s “doable,” but we all know government-speak for “prepare for an epic saga”.

Urban Land Limbo

Despite the challenges, the property has sparked renewed interest. Compass agent Rob Levy reports multiple inquiries, proving that in San Francisco’s bonkers real estate market, even an unbuildable plot can be a hot commodity. Who said dreams are dead?

Bottom line: This land is the ultimate San Francisco flex – expensive, complicated, and absolutely nonsensical. Only in our beloved city could a piece of unusable land be considered a potential goldmine.
