Bought with Faisal Alserri•DRE #02053133• Sharon Rose Realty, Inc.
Vintage homesteader cabin with water meter and electricity. Located on a pristine, undisturbed 5 acre lot, it’s almost entirely surrounded by 5 acre BLM (bureau of land management) parcels to the north, east, west and an additional 2.5 acre BLM owned parcel to the southwest, providing a rare barrier for privacy and against future development. Beyond the neighbor directly south, the property feels as though it’s nestled in its own private park. Built in approximately 1956, the cabin is about 200 square feet and features new amenities, including an air conditioner, kitchenette, refrigerator, stainless steel sink and oak butcher block countertop. Original checkerboard tile floor is in excellent condition. Cabin has a new roof and exterior siding. Spacious outdoor shower crafted from reclaimed water tank affords protection and privacy while enjoying amazing views. Bathhouse has a new flush toilet, hot-water heater, plumbing and electrical along with a custom built vanity and sink combo. Purchase includes a 14 foot 1954 Dalton trailer with RV water and power hooked up. The trailer has the original custom double bunk, original dinette, original icebox and modern upgrades that include a new silicone roof and electrical wiring. Trailer also has new floor and hand-built screen door; in addition, it has a custom air filtration system built in under the bed. Quiet, private location perfect for weekends of serenity and solitude. Come alone or with your family. The desert beckons.
