Perfect Off-Road cabin on -5-acres with spectacular view. Close to the Johnson Valley Off-Road Park, easy access to Park on Larrea Rd. , the only paved road in Johnson Valley. We've nick-named the cabin, "Shelley", she's a shell cabin, no utilities. Off the Grid or self-contained vehicles can provide the basics without really "roughin' it! Close to the Johnson Valley Improvement Association (JVIA). The center serves breakfast on Saturday. The mini railroad runs most Saturday mornings, reminiscent of an old theme park. Enjoy the great outdoors, the exceptional sunrises and sunsets. Watch the stars, the Milky Way. Our dark skies are protected. Explore the Hi Desert of the Mojave Desert. Provisions are just moments down the road, gas, mini-mart and pizza yet you can enjoy the Valley called Johnson. An original homestead community with an historical room at JVIA. You can gaze at photos, books about our amazing community. Enjoy short day trips to Joshua Tree National Park, Big Bear and its year 'round resorts, Palm Springs for golf, dining, shopping, museums, convenient airport. Generations of families have enjoyed the recreation of Johnson Valley. You can have it all, or just relax and enjoy, you'll return home refreshed and your spirit renewed.

Homestead cabin on 5-Acres with an incredible view. Evidence of previous electricity, water and propane wall heater. Shell cabin we've nick named "Shelley". A one room cabin with a small additional concrete pad that we can only guess that it may have been a storage shed. Great location, near the Johnson Valley Improvement Assoc. part of the Homestead Act. Serves breakfast on Sat. and is our meeting place for monthly dinners and meetings. Great cabin for base camp for off-roaders or for self-contained vehicles. Tiny cabin can have big dreams to restore to its original purpose, a recreational cabin. So inexpensive you can charge it on your credit card! View the valley, enjoy the magnificent sunsets, be in wonder of the stars. Provisions, gas and pizza are just moments away. Day trips to Joshua Tree National Park, Big Bear and its year 'round resorts, and Palm Springs are an easy day trip. Or if you're an off roader, ride away to the World Famous Johnson Valley Off Road Park to explore the Hi-Desert of the Mojave. There is something for everyone. You'll find a different pace of life.
