Marcus & Millichap arranged the sale of a seven-property mobile home and RV park portfolio in southern California and Nevada.

The value of the portfolio was $45 million.

The portfolio consists of seven properties with five in southern California and two in Las Vegas. The properties were offered on a basis of a five-year lease agreement with the option to purchase. Individual properties in the portfolio were purchased by four different buyers.

The 1,019-unit Golden Village Mobile Home Park is a five-star destination RV park in Hemet, Calif., that sold for $7.4 million. The three properties were purchased by a La Jolla, Calif.-based private investor.

The five-star, 157-unit Green Valley senior mobile home park in Vista, Calif., commanded a sales price of $10 million from a Northern California-based investment group.

The 224-unit Diamond Valley Mobile Home Park is a smaller two-star RV park in San Jacinto, Calif., that sold for $1.4 million to Southern California-based Rapid Investments.
