Water is hauled to a holding tank, either haul it yourself or hire a local service. Exceptionally well maintained with pride of ownership. Wall divides cabin into 3 areas. Fenced area for kennel or storage. Exceptional views of the Valley and mountains. P Property is partially fenced, ideal for children or animals. Zoned for horses or other animals. Septic has been installed and water tank provides water from hauling either by yourself or a service. Location is off the road less traveled but close enough to the Johnson Valley Off Hwy Park. Our skies are protected through Dark Skies. Enjoy the nighttime stargazing. Our community is an original Homestead Community established in the 1950's. Our center offers Sat. breakfast, monthly dinners, meeting and events. The miniature G-scale railroad runs most Saturdays, weather permitting. The Heritage Room offers a collection of historical writings, paintings, articles of our pioneers. JV is within day trips of Joshua Tree National Park, Big Bear Lake with its year 'round resorts, and Palm Springs for golf, dining, shopping, museums. Provisions are close by, gas, mini-mart and pizza. Recommended Local trips are to Gubler Orchids, an amazing discovery of incredible plants shipped around the world, Integreton, a building created to attract aliens and Le Copine restaurant, a dining experience. It's all here, do it all or just take time to enjoy, you'll return home refreshed.
