This Spacious Desert Estate is a Strong Value Opportunity, listed at $495,000—positioned well above the $461,041 Fair Market Value by 7%. While priced at a premium, the property offers significant utility through its 5-acre lot, panoramic desert views, and a versatile detached cabin. Featuring a Condition Rating of 4, the home includes recent updates like new LVP flooring and roofs, though the kitchen and baths remain dated. This is an ideal acquisition for Owner-Occupants seeking a lifestyle retreat or creative investors looking to modernize the interior.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is over 40 years old (built in 1983) but has received recent partial updates including a new roof, fresh paint, and new LVP flooring. However, visual data shows the kitchen and bathrooms remain highly dated with original-style wood cabinetry, older appliances, and tile countertops that need modernization.
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 = 1730.
The property features 5 acres of natural desert landscape with mature Joshua Trees and boulders, offering stunning panoramic views of city lights and mountains without the burden of HOA fees.
A separate detached cabin with a new roof and half bath provides flexible space for a home office, guest suite, or creative studio, adding significant functional value to the estate.
The property utilizes evaporative cooling rather than a modern central air conditioning system, which may be less effective during the peak humidity and extreme heat of desert summers.
While the detached cabin offers extra rooms, it lacks a kitchen, requiring additional plumbing and permits if a buyer intends to convert it into a fully independent ADU or rental unit.
Large home on 5 view acres! Detached cabin adds space for office, guests, teens, arts and crafts, or anything you want.
