Description
Private Off-Grid Desert Retreat — 4.34 Acres — Southern California — $275,000 I'm selling a one-of-a-kind off-grid desert retreat that I personally built over a period of years on 4.34 acres in Canebrake, at the southern end of the Anza-Borrego Desert. I'm a California licensed General Contractor and purchased the vacant land in 2009 specifically to build my own desert getaway. The cabin and property were designed around the site itself—the sun, prevailing winds, drainage, views and desert environment. The property includes a finished cabin with kitchen, bedroom and bath, screened porch, rooftop viewing deck, 48V solar system with lithium battery storage, community well water, propane, outdoor shower, two storage sheds and a renovated 1968 vintage travel trailer that served as my original base camp while building the cabin. The original cabin plan was designed to accommodate two bedrooms, but during construction I left out the second-bedroom partition to create a larger open great-room. Of course it could be added in very easily if desired. The property backs up against the mountain, with incredible privacy, hiking and exploring right outside the door. We've had desert bighorn sheep within about 20 feet of the cabin, coyotes passing through, spectacular sunsets and remarkably dark skies—the Milky Way is a regular sight. This isn't simply a small cabin sitting on desert acreage. It's an established off-grid retreat that's been developed and enjoyed for many years. Asking $275,000 — For Sale By Owner. I'm happy to answer questions, send additional photos or arrange a showing. Full listing and additional details:
