Joshua Tree

In April of 2020, a group of friends and I purchased a 2.5 acre plot of land in Yucca Valley, about 30 minutes away from the Joshua Tree National Park. As we were in the height of the pandemic, and all work was remote, we moved down to the property and lived on the land in an RV. There was a cabin on the property built in the 60’s as part of the Homestead Act, but it never got finished or repaired, and was in a decrepit state. We immediately got to work on a blueprint for the renovations, and set about getting the required permits. In the mean time, we cleared the ground to make a driveway, built a shed, and built 1200 feet of fence surrounding the property.

We made very quick progress on the property, and were able to get the main cabin area prepared for construction quickly. However, due to the slow nature of permits, we were not able to start on the actual building of the cabin for over a year. When we finally got the clearance, all of us had moved for work, and we were unable to spend the time required to build it. We were incredibly lucky to find an amazing contractor, who we have been working with closely to coordinate the building of the cabin.

At this point, the cabin is complete! We have listed the property on AirBnB and similar services. Check it out!
