More Insights
Built in 1957 (69 years old).
Condition: Built in 1957, the existing structure is an extremely small (192 sqft) and basic building, appearing more like a shed than a habitable home. The MLS analysis itself indicates it likely requires 'extensive renovation, modernization, or even a complete replacement.' The property's value is clearly in the expansive 5-acre lot, not the existing unlivable structure.

Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 217800, living area = 192.
Expansive Lot Size: The property boasts a substantial 217,800 sqft (5 acres) lot, offering significant privacy, potential for expansion, or future development.
Development Potential: With a very small existing structure on a large parcel, the property presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer to build a custom dream home or additional structures (subject to local zoning).
Investment Opportunity: The significant appreciation from its 2015 sale price of $39,000 to the current list price of $279,000 suggests strong market growth or substantial value-add potential.
Privacy and Seclusion: Located in the 'Sky Valley' area with a generous lot, the property offers a tranquil and private desert living experience away from dense urban environments.
Accessible Land Ownership: For 5 acres in California, the list price of $279,000 provides a relatively accessible entry point for land ownership, especially for those looking to build or invest.
Cons
Extremely Limited Living Space: The existing structure is exceptionally small at only 192 sqft, which severely restricts its functionality and broad appeal as a primary residence for most buyers.
Age and Condition of Structure: Built in 1957, the existing structure is dated and likely requires extensive renovation, modernization, or even a complete replacement, adding significant costs for a buyer.
Niche Market Appeal: Due to the combination of a very small existing home and a large undeveloped lot, the property caters to a specific buyer segment, potentially limiting the pool of interested parties.
