Incredible opportunity to own a 5-acre bluff lot in the highly desirable and fast-developing Desert Heights area, perfectly situated between Joshua Tree and downtown Twentynine Palms. This elevated property offers sweeping views of the Bullion, Copper, and Little San Bernardino Mountains, and is just minutes from Indian Cove and the Joshua Tree National Park entrance. The lot includes a water meter already installed and power is easily accessible via a utility pole located directly adjacent to the property, with connection available. An existing homestead cabin sits on a slab foundation and, while currently uninhabitable, it offers a starting point for redevelopment. A final inspection completed in 2020 confirms that new plans are required to rebuild or remodel the structure. This sale includes a professionally drafted floor plan and a permit-ready construction package, along with high-quality renderings for a modern 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 600 square foot cabin. With essential infrastructure in place and development documents included, this property presents a rare opportunity for a flip, a new build, or a high-potential short-term rental investment in a premier high desert location.
