Property Description
Original Homestead Cabin, 1961. Desert cabin with a new water tank, septic system and Tiphook shipping container. All the essential elements for every desert homestead beginning. Owner was not able to finish this dream but it is ready for you to continue on with the finishing touches. Cabin upgrades were permitted and signed off on all framing, electrical, plumbing and insulation, all that remains is to install drywall and finish. Permit is currently expired and buyer will need permit renewal with County. Great opportunity to own an original 1960s homestead cabin, just as they were meant to be; simple amenities, comfortable shelter and sitting at the edge of the great expanse of this Mojave Desert. Add your style to this wonderful little cabin in the desert. Easy access to the OHV riding area at Means Dry Lake, Johnson Valley. Hiking and camping across the road to the west in the Bighorn Mountain Wilderness Area. And of course, just a short meander along scenic Hwy 247 is the best diner around, La Copine Kitchen:-)

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
