Here is something some folks chasing cheap California land never figure out: the lots are not all the same size. Two parcels sitting next to each other on the same street, same zoning, same view, can differ by thousands of square feet. And when you are buying dirt, square footage is the whole game.
2668 Sea Port Avenue runs 12,291 square feet. That is bigger than the average parcel trading hands in this corner of Imperial County. Not by a hair. By enough that anyone who has shopped this market for a few weekends will spot it on the listing sheet.
Now look at what comes with the extra ground.
The road out front is paved. Pull up in whatever you drive - no washboard trail, no getting stuck after a rain, no praying your tires survive the visit.
And the location? Salton City is the largest community along the Salton Sea, with the broader area pulling roughly 200,000 visitors a year between the off-roaders heading to Ocotillo Wells, the photographers chasing the strange light off the water, the birdwatchers, and the pilgrims making their way out to Salvation Mountain and Slab City. Bombay Beach is an hour's drive around the lake. The mountains in your western view are the Peninsular Ranges, separating the desert from the Pacific.
Here is how the deal works.
Purchase price is $13,195. Down payment of $132 puts the contract in your name. After that, $132 a month until the parcel is paid off.
No bank approval. No application process. No credit pull. If you can cover the down payment, the lot is yours - that is the whole arrangement.
