Description
CASH-ONLY opportunity on 2 acres where peace, space, and wide-open views come together. This off-grid property offers true freedom just outside town, with stunning desert and mountain backdrops and the kind of privacy most buyers can’t find anymore. Enjoy quiet mornings, sunsets from your deck, and nights by the wood-burning stove under a sky full of stars. Inside, the home features a bright, open layout with large windows bringing in natural light, a functional kitchen with ample counter space, comfortable bedrooms, and a bonus room perfect for an office, gym, or guest space. The property runs on generator power and includes a 3,000-gallon water tank, propane stove, and fenced land with plenty of room for RVs, animals, toys, or future expansion . Located just minutes from Ridgecrest amenities like shopping, dining, and the hospital—close enough for convenience, far enough for peace. The home needs work and is sold as-is, making it ideal for investors, off-grid enthusiasts, or buyers ready to build value and create their own desert retreat. This is not a typical home—it’s a lifestyle and a project with upside for the right buyer.
