A paved road runs right up to this lot on Palm Kist Avenue - you turn off and you're there, no washboard dirt to fight. The ground is even and open, scattered with low desert scrub, sitting on the eastern side of the Salton City grid where the streets give way to the sea and the desert beyond.
It's zoned residential, one home per lot, and both water and sewer reach the street line - so a build here connects to services rather than starting from a well and a tank. Homes are already scattered through the surrounding blocks to the north, with plenty of open space between them.
Salton City sits about 130 miles from San Diego and 142 from Los Angeles, with the Salton Sea State Recreation Area drawing campers and birdwatchers to the shoreline, and the desert running east toward Painted Gorge and the marine-layer mud hills near Ocotillo. The taxes on a piece this size stay light, which makes it an easy parcel to take title to and sit on while you decide what to build.
