Here is something worth knowing about a vacant lot in the desert: most of them sit out in the middle of nowhere with not a soul for miles. This one does not. Pull up the map and you will see actual houses already built, lived in, with fences and rooftops, sitting right up the road from the property line.
Real homes nearby means somebody else already did the homework on this stretch of Salton City and decided it was worth planting roots on. You are not the pioneer. You are the next one in.
The address is 2216 Quemado Avenue, Salton City, in Imperial County, California. Ten thousand square feet. Eighty feet of frontage, running back about a hundred and twenty-five feet deep. No washboard dirt track to rattle your teeth out - the paved road will take you right up to the front edge of your property.
Now look at what is sitting at the street: water service and sewer, both run right there at the paved street line. Power is in the area - afew lots down at Quemado and Shore Breeze. The hard infrastructure is already in the ground out here, paid for by somebody else, waiting.
Zoning is residential. Property tax last year ran a whopping eighty-five dollars and twenty-eight cents. Not per month. Per year. You could spend more than that on coffee in a week.
Here is how you pick it up. The price is $14,095. Put $141 down to lock the door behind you, then $141 a month after that. No bank. No credit check. No piles of paperwork. Title comes clean and guaranteed, and if you walk the lot in the first thirty days and decide it is not for you, you get your money back. Every dollar.
Lots like this - paved frontage, utilities at the street, neighbors already there, dirt-cheap taxes - do not sit around long with these terms. First one to sign the paperwork and make the deposit wins.
