This private, fully off-grid Southern California desert retreat sits on nearly five acres in a unique historic homestead community surrounded by Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Its an established, livable retreat - not simply vacant desert land waiting for someone to develop it. The property already has the essentials for independent desert living: solar electric power, plentiful water, and propane, along with a custom owner-built cabin, open porches, huge screen porch, upper observation deck, two storage/work sheds and a recently renovated vintage glamping trailer. The enclosed cabin is approximately 575 sq. ft. , but the retreat lives considerably larger. An additional approximately 1,438 sq. ft. of outdoor living areas, including the covered front porch, screened porch and rooftop deck were intentionally designed as an extension of the cabin. In the cooler desert months, these outdoor spaces are where much of life here actually happens.
