About this property
With broad views toward the Santa Rosa Mountains, San Jacinto Mountains, Coachella Valley, and distant desert ridges, this mountain getaway is 200’ x 230’ and offers a great opportunity for someone looking for plenty of space to place a manufactured home, build a custom home, vacation getaway, mountain home with a work shop in back, cabin-style retreat, or even an off-grid setup. Nearby homes in the Pinyon Pines and Alpine Village area demonstrate the appeal of this type of lifestyle, including properties using private septic systems, propane, solar, private wells, and water storage tanks supplied through water hauling services where municipal water is not available. Electric service is provided in the broader Pinyon Pines area by Anza Electric Cooperative, although a buyer should independently verify the cost and feasibility of extending power directly to the parcel. For water, a buyer can investigate drilling a well or setting up a private water-storage tank with hauled water deliveries. A septic system would be required because public sewer service is not available in this rural area. Along with pinyon pines and California junipers, the property also contains many lower woody plants including desert or mountain scrub oak, sagebrush-type shrubs, rabbitbrush, ephedra / Mormon tea, buckwheat and yucca. The nearby Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument and Pinyon Trail area provide excellent hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and outdoor recreation. Purchase this affordable Southern California mountain-desert homesite today.
