More Insights

Built in 1959 (67 years old).
Condition: Built in 1959, this property features a highly dated kitchen with old appliances (coil-burner stove), basic cabinets, and laminate countertops. The single bathroom is also very outdated with basic fixtures. While the property benefits from modern mini-split HVAC units, the overall interior aesthetic, including mixed and worn flooring and outdated light fixtures, indicates a need for substantial rehabilitation and modernization, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom areas. The 'guesthouse wing' appears to be an old trailer and unfinished space, further contributing to the need for significant work to bring it to a desirable standard.

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 = 1416.
Expansive Land & Private Well: The property boasts a substantial five-acre lot, providing ample space, privacy, and potential for various uses, complemented by a private well for self-sufficient water access.
Extensive Outbuildings & Storage: Includes a two-car garage, a large shop, a shed, a kennel, and an additional workshop/tack/tool room, offering exceptional utility, storage, and hobby space for diverse needs.
Affordable Price Point: Priced at $235,000 for a home on five acres with numerous amenities, this property represents a highly attractive and accessible investment opportunity in the desert market.
Versatile Living Space: The home features a main living area plus a distinct wing that could easily be converted into a guesthouse, offering flexibility for extended family, guests, or potential rental income.
Panoramic Desert Views: The property offers stunning panoramic views of canyons, the desert, hills, and mountains, providing a picturesque and serene living environment.

Cons

Older Construction & Potential for Updates: Built in 1959, the home is over 60 years old, suggesting it may require significant updates to systems, finishes, and overall modernization to meet contemporary standards and preferences.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for a two-bedroom home, especially considering the potential for a guesthouse wing, this could be a significant inconvenience for multiple occupants or guests.
Remote Location & Niche Appeal: While offering unique lifestyle benefits, the property's remote desert location in Johnson Valley and its strong appeal to specific activities (off-roading, equestrian) may limit its market to a niche buyer pool.
