About This Home

As of February 2019

Funky, crazy cool Hobbit Hut on the Northside of Whitewater. Mid Century design with open beams, cozy fireplace and original block walls. Unique design which is actually oriented towards the view! Stunning capture of the San Jacinto mountain and sweeping views to the East, this small enclave of four houses is surrounded by BLM land with no HOA or Land Lease. This would be the perfect spot to be inspired to write that novel or paint that masterpiece you have been waiting to find. Creativity awaits you here where you can feel and enjoy the Earth's true pristine energy from the open raw desert. The cabin is a bit raw too. This would also make a perfect location for a short term rental or vacation home with some work. **New septic tank installed** New plumbing. Waiting for the interior design of the new Owner. Property square feet appears to be much larger than tax roll shows. Buyer to verify.
