Set right on South Marina Drive, this 10,962 square feet residential lot puts you on a paved road in Salton City, which means you can drive straight to your property in any season without worrying about ruts, washouts, or getting stuck. The parcel measures 81 feet across the front, 131 feet on the right, 86 feet along the back, and 130 feet on the left, giving you a generous, near-rectangular footprint to work with when laying out a home site.
The terrain is flat, so site preparation stays simple - no cutting, grading, or retaining walls eating into your building budget before you ever pour a foundation. Utilities are a major advantage here: water and sewer are at the street line and electric is at the property line, sparing you the cost and delays of drilling a well, installing a septic system, or trenching power in from a distance. Zoning allows medium-density residential use of one to two units per lot, which gives you the flexibility to build a single home or add a second unit for family or rental income.
The lot sits close to the Salton Sea shoreline, one of the most important birding locations in North America, and near the Salton Sea State Recreation Area, which has offered public shoreline access since 1955. The surrounding region is known for destinations like Salvation Mountain, Slab City and the East Jesus art installation, the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area with over 85,000 acres of desert terrain, the bubbling mud pots of the desert floor, and the Dos Palmas Preserve oasis.
Put it all together and you have a flat, buildable lot with paved-road access, utilities at or near the line, and flexible one-to-two-unit zoning, positioned near the shoreline in a corner of Imperial County surrounded by some of the desert's most distinctive landmarks. This is a parcel where the groundwork is already in place - all that's left is your plan for it.
