Yucca Valley, California 92284
This Value-Add Desert Retreat is offered at a List Price of $379,900, positioned above the $258,903 Fair Market Value. The property represents a significant renovation project with a Condition Rating of 5, requiring a full interior rehabilitation to modernize its 1970s-era systems and finishes. However, the expansive 108,900 sqft hilltop lot provides exceptional Panoramic Desert and Mountain Views and equestrian potential within the Morongo Unified School District. With substantial price reductions already recorded, this asset is a strategic play for Fix-and-Flip Investors or Contractors looking to capitalize on forced appreciation and high-utility desert acreage.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1970, this property is over 50 years old. While the exterior appears maintained and a wood-burning stove is updated, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, is significantly dated. The kitchen features older light wood cabinets, dated countertops, and a mix of older white and black appliances. Both bathrooms exhibit very outdated styles with gold-framed shower enclosures, Hollywood-style vanity lighting, and older fixtures. The living areas have a mix of dated carpet, tile, and extensive wood paneling. These elements suggest that major renovations to key areas were likely done 30-50 years ago, or not at all, requiring substantial rehabilitation to meet current aesthetic and functional standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 108900, living area = 2350.
The property boasts sweeping valley, desert, and mountain views from its hilltop location, offering a highly desirable aesthetic and serene environment.
Situated on a generous 2.5-acre lot, this retreat provides ample space, privacy, and a secluded feel while still being conveniently close to town.
Built in 1970, the property is over 50 years old, which may necessitate significant updates to systems, infrastructure, and aesthetics beyond the updated wood-burning stove to meet current market expectations.
Multiple price drops from the original list price of $499,900 to $399,900 could indicate market resistance, initial overpricing, or potential underlying issues that may concern prospective buyers.
The description does not specify the presence of key modern amenities such as central air conditioning (crucial in a desert climate) or recent updates to kitchens and bathrooms, suggesting potential additional investment for buyers.
