Power 1 Lot Away, Mfd Homes Allowed, Near Palm Springs

NOTE: THE PLAT MAP OUTLINE LOCATION IS NOT CORRECT. SEE IMAGES FOR CORRECT LOCATION. Sitting at a cool 4,000 feet elevation, there are plenty of pinyon pines and California junipers covering this 1 acre property zoned R-1-1 residential with power 265 feet away and no HOA and no CC&R restrictions. This zoning is intended for a one-home residence and accessory dwelling unit and allows for a manufactured or modular home on a permanent foundation, subject to Riverside County permits, building requirements, septic approval, fire requirements, and other standard development review. For water, you can drill a private well or hire a water hauling service. 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, mountain getaway, retirement 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. This is one of the more visually distinctive parts of the Highway 74 corridor. The area transitions between higher-elevation mountain woodland and lower Colorado/Sonoran desert conditions. Enjoy a balance of mountain privacy and access to major destinations. Palm Desert, Palm Springs, restaurants, shopping, golf, and valley amenities are within a scenic drive, while Idyllwild offers cool pine forests, restaurants, art galleries, hiking, and a classic mountain-town atmosphere. The nearby Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument and Pinyon Trail area provide excellent hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and outdoor recreation.
