Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1993, the property benefits from newer major systems (roof, A/C, septic) which is a significant positive for maintenance. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are notably dated with features like tile countertops, older cabinets, and fluorescent lighting, indicating a need for cosmetic updates to meet current styles. While functional and well-maintained, these outdated elements prevent it from being classified as 'Good'.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Expansive & Usable Lot: The property boasts nearly an acre (37,296 sqft) of usable, horse-friendly land, offering significant space for animals, gardening, and diverse outdoor activities, a key draw for rural living.
Recent Major System Upgrades: Key components like the roof, A/C, and septic system are newer, providing buyers with peace of mind regarding immediate major maintenance and replacement costs.
Privacy and Tranquil Setting: Positioned as a 'desert retreat' away from the city, the property offers a high degree of peace and privacy, appealing to buyers seeking a quiet, secluded lifestyle.
Stunning Natural Views: The home features 'stunning desert views' and includes mountain views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and providing a picturesque backdrop for residents.
Versatile Outdoor Potential: With ample room for animals, gardening, or general outdoor living, the property offers significant flexibility for various hobbies and lifestyle preferences.
Cons
Geographic Isolation: Located in Barstow, a desert community, the property's 'away from the city' appeal may limit its market to buyers specifically seeking rural solitude, potentially impacting resale value and market time for those desiring urban conveniences.
Niche Market Appeal: While ideal for specific buyers, the 'horse-friendly' and 'desert retreat' characteristics create a niche market, which could narrow the pool of interested buyers compared to more universally appealing properties.
Potential for Dated Interiors: Built in 1993, despite newer major systems, the interior finishes and other non-upgraded components may be original, potentially requiring cosmetic updates or renovations to align with modern buyer preferences.
