Listing as of 9/1/26
From the listing:
Top Gun CRE, Inc. is proud to present a singular investment opportunity in Campo, a small town with vast potential for transformation and growth, located just an hour east from the city of San Diego. This 28-building portfolio involves not just the acquisition of property, but the chance to own and steer the future of Downtown Campo itself, offering an unparalleled blend of community-building and investment strategy.
“The property was first listed in 2024, taken off the market at the beginning of this year, and re-listed on August 21, 2026 at $5,995,000,” according to the listing agent, Nicolas Hernandez of Top Gun CRE, Inc.
You may have some questions if you are going to shell out nearly $6 million for a town. You might want to rename the town–to honor your spouse or parents or maybe your pet. Nicolas Hernandez has some answers:
Can you rename Campo? “A buyer can rename the property, but not the community. Campo is an unincorporated community in San Diego County with its own post office and ZIP code.” Hernandez adds, “Renaming the property is simply a matter of branding. The buyer owns the buildings and land and can market the village under any name they choose, the same as any other private property.” So you can’t really rename the town Fluffy, but you can rename the property.
With all the debate and controversy about datacenters, what if you want to place a datacenter in your newly purchased town? Hernandez says, “Under the current zoning, a data center would likely require a Major Use Permit from the County. Power and water capacity in the backcountry would be a separate conversation with the utilities.”
