The County's initial plan calls for a referral-only sober-living recovery program and psychiatric care with 24/7 supervision and security, and no walk-ins allowed.

VISTA, Calif. — Green Oak Ranch, a coveted piece of property in southern, is up for sale, and the County of San Diego is looking to buy it. The sprawling land is a total of 138 acres, but only 110 acres are for sale.

“We can see the needs in our streets, our sidewalks, our hospitals and parks and underpasses for more facilities for treatment and mental health services,” said Desmond. “I have small kids,” said Troncone. “My neighborhood is a family neighborhood. We all have kids, and we all have concerns.” For many decades, Green Oak Ranch Ministries has operated a faith-based drug and alcohol recovery program for 50 people at a time. The program’s facilities are located on the 28 acres not for sale, so it will remain where it is regardless of what happens with the sale.
