Joshua Tree’s First Anti-Airbnb Affordable Homesteader Cabin: Not for sale as an Airbnb. Join the rebellion! Buy a house to live in. Sell a house to live in. Imagine that. Houses are homes, not businesses, at least in this reincarnation. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. Introducing La Shack Deluxe: Perfectly reimagined and sculpted original Homesteader cabin. Everything one needs to live in a single smartly designed room (+bathroom), including, but not limited to, ductless mini-split AC/Heat, new electrical panel, new windows, doors, walls, paint, flooring, custom tiled shower, floor to ceiling newness, excellent murphy bed that folds into custom cabinets, allowing for a living room by day and bedroom by night. Amazingly well thought out kitchen built along a single wall. And now a word from our sponsor: Zoned Rec Cabin (not SFR) = All Cash Purchase Only. Unfortunately, No Loans. Back to regular programming: Check this rural 2.38-acre property with working water meter (JBWD) and electric power (SCE). Burrtec will pick up your trash for a reasonable fee. Property dimensions are 166 feet wide at the street and a HUGE 626 feet deep – plenty of room to build a larger house with privacy out back in years to come. Come live your best life in the desert amid the vast wilderness.

Great potential with 2.5 acres with views, This is cabin needs to be rebuild it has some good bones and there, but it has a paid water meter and there's power on the property. Not many parcels in the area with water and power. Buyer is advised to do their due diligence on cost of utilities.
