Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1949, this property is a classic fixer-upper requiring substantial rehabilitation. Exterior images show boarded-up windows, exposed electrical components, and significant deferred maintenance on the structure and fencing. The listing description confirms it 'needs work' and is targeted at investors or flippers, indicating it is currently in an uninhabitable state requiring major system and cosmetic overhauls.
Priced competitively at $175,000 with 'solid bones,' this property represents an excellent entry-level opportunity for flippers or investors to build equity in a growing desert market.
The property is ideally situated near natural mineral springs, Joshua Tree National Park, and world-class hiking, making it a highly attractive location for a future vacation rental or desert retreat.
The 6,534-square-foot lot offers significant space for outdoor living enhancements, property expansion, or the potential addition of an ADU to maximize the site's utility.
As a true fixer-upper, the home requires a substantial commitment of time and capital to address necessary repairs and modernization before it can be occupied or leased.
The current 1-bedroom, 804-square-foot configuration is quite small, which may limit the buyer pool to individuals or couples unless a costly expansion is undertaken.

Situated in a growing community known for its natural mineral springs and stunning mountain views. This property offers a spacious lot and a flexible layout ready for your vision. Bring your tools and imagination- this home needs work but offers solid bones and endless upside. Conveniently located near natural hot springs, outdoor nature, hiking, trails, Joshua National Park, Museums, downtown and local events, golfing, and more! Priced to sell and full of potential!
