Entire historic Campo town in California listed for $6.6 million sale
The unincorporated community of Campo, a former WWII base near San Diego, is on the market for $6,600,000, encompassing 35 buildings on 15.75 acres.
Campo, a historic unincorporated town in California about an hour from San Diego, is being offered for $6,600,000. The 15.75-acre site at 431 Jeb Stuart Road contains 35 structures, including 28 homes and seven commercial buildings such as a post office, Border Patrol facility, church, VFW post and specialized workshops. Las Vegas real-estate investor John Ray, who has owned most of the area since 2000, is selling the property, which has been listed for several years.
Top Gun CRE agents Nick Hernandez and Joseph Barela highlight the roughly 95,000 square feet of building space and a current net operating income of $331,521, noting potential for redevelopment into gyms, laundromats, daycares or community centers. The town originated in 1885 with the Campo Stone Store and later became Camp Lockett during World War II, housing the Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th and 28th Cavalry Regiments. After the war, the military structures were preserved and converted into residential and commercial use that remain today.
Why it matters
The sale could reshape a whole community and affect local housing and business opportunities.
