Exceptional Johnson Valley 5-Ac parcel surrounded by boulders. Boulders shouldn't interfere with building, they provide a scenicl setting with level land for building. This land warrants a well for a custom home and at this price it makes market sense. Or you can build a desert cabin for weekends A very private setting. Johnson Valley Off Hwy Park is just across the Hwy #247. Dirt roads are groomed by volunteers and are usually passable with a regular vehicle, but 4-wheel vehicles are best in the desert.C
