This one sits on a corner where Solar Avenue bends into Solar Place, out toward the eastern edge of Salton City's street grid, where the platted lots give way to open desert running up to the foothills. A corner means road on more than one side and no neighbor pressed against you - room to set the place up exactly how you want it, with the front facing whichever way suits you.
At 11,162 square feet, it runs larger than many lots around here, and the ground is level and easy to work with, broken only by a few clumps of low brush. The streets in are paved, not graded dirt. Water and sewer both run to the street line, and power sits just two lots away - so the groundwork for a home is closer to done than it usually is on land at this stage.
Zoned residential, one home per lot, in a place built on big desert quiet. The Salton Sea pulls in migratory birds by the thousands and the birdwatchers who follow them; the Rock Hill Trail and the Sonny Bono refuge sit down toward the south end. Off in the Imperial backcountry, the Painted Gorge near Ocotillo opens into bright banded mud hills from an ancient sea. Antique shops, open sky, mountains on the horizon - the kind of country people seek out on purpose.
Whether you build after completing your purchase or hold a clean corner parcel while Salton City fills in around it, this is real California desert ground with the hard parts already lined up at the street.
