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 = 42660, living area = 1610.
High Investment Potential: Explicitly described as an 'Investors DREAM' and a 'blank canvas,' offering significant value-add opportunity through renovation and customization.
Dual Lot Ownership: The inclusion of '2 lots for one price' provides enhanced land value, potential for expansion, or future development possibilities.
Detached Workshop/Garage: A separate structure offers versatile space for hobbies, storage, or potential for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or studio, adding functional value.
Desirable Joshua Tree Location: Situated in a highly sought-after desert community, known for its unique landscape, artistic vibe, and proximity to Joshua Tree National Park, appealing to a specific market.
Scenic Desert & Mountain Views: The property benefits from natural desert and mountain views, a key amenity for buyers seeking the quintessential Joshua Tree experience.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =42660, other record lot size in square feet = 24660.
Extensive Renovation Required: The house is explicitly stated as 'ready to be finished' and a 'blank canvas,' indicating it is not move-in ready and requires substantial construction and renovation, demanding significant capital and time investment.
Older Property with Potential for Outdated Systems: Built in 1970, the property is over 50 years old, suggesting that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original and likely require costly upgrades or replacement.
Significant Value Drop Since Last Sale: The current list price of $255,000 is less than half of its previous sale price of $535,000 in 2022, strongly implying a distressed or severely incomplete condition that will require substantial investment to restore value.
