Property Description
Cabin on 5-Acre Parcel adjacent to preserved wilderness in coveted Joshua Highlands. Located high above downtown Joshua Tree - hike out front door and into vast wilderness and the National Park. For investment purposes, one could split the 5-acre parcel into two 2.5-acre parcel and develop both (buyer to confirm with S.B. County). Joshua Basin Water District water main and Southern California Edison (SCE) electric both run up Sunset Rd adjacent to parcel to hook up utilities. Cabin is presently zoned Rec Cabin and was formally hooked to the SCE power line, but it is presently disconnected; however, the cabin is wired with receptacles/outlets. Cabin also has an underground water tank and a septic tank or cesspool, as there is a bathroom with bathtub and toilet inside. One could hook to the watermain when converting to SFR. Property is presently used as a showroom for a professional wilderness photographer. Fantastic opportunity for the entrepreneurially minded investor.
