Welcome to the scenic 5 Sunflower Road in Joshua Tree, CA — a pristine 2.92-acre land parcel beckoning investors, builders, and those dreaming of a custom or vacation home in the tranquil desert. This flat, buildable lot offers minimal Joshua Trees, ensuring an unobstructed canvas for your architectural aspirations. With electricity already on-site, water accessible on Sunflower, and cable just north on Sunfair Rd. , the groundwork is laid for a seamless transition from blueprint to building. For sale are two adjacent lots (APN 0606-082-04 & 0606-082-03), both presenting a rare opportunity: each zoned JT-RL (Joshua Tree Rural Living) allows for the construction of one house and one ADU per 2.5 acres. Opt to acquire a single lot for an intimate desert retreat, or combine the parcels for a larger development of three houses and three ADUs – perfect for families, retreats, or lucrative rental properties. Surround yourself with the beauty of native desert flora and breathtaking panoramic mountain vistas. The land's versatility also makes it ideal for recreational use — envision a weekend getaway with airstreams and ATVs exploring the rugged terrain. Located a stone's throw from the world-renowned Joshua Tree National Park, which attracts over 3 million visitors annually, the potential for a return on investment is substantial, be it through building a personal haven or tapping into the lucrative rental market. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct due diligence regarding utility hookups, permits, and zoning with the City of Joshua Tree and the County of San Bernardino. Secure your piece of the high desert and bring your vision to life at 5 Sunflower Road.
