9874 River Dr., Descanso – 7.82-Acre Adobe Estate with untapped Potential! Discover a rare opportunity to own nearly 8 acres in the heart of Descanso’s scenic valley. This sprawling 3,837 sq. ft. adobe home, built in 1974, offers vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, idyllic valley views, and expansive living spaces ready for transformation.
