Discover the potential of this 1.87-acre parcel in Lucerne Valley, the perfect canvas for a desert getaway home with income-generating potential. Zoned RL (Rural Living, 1 du/2.5 ac max), this property allows you to build a single-family residence while also benefiting from California’s ADU laws that permit accessory dwelling units, subject to County review. Imagine creating your own retreat just 40 minutes from Big Bear Lake and under three hours from Las Vegas — an ideal midpoint for weekend travelers heading to the mountains or the Strip. This land offers flexibility for those who want a private desert escape while also taking advantage of short-term rental demand in the High Desert. Use it as your own getaway, and when you’re not there, turn it into a rental that helps generate income. With sweeping desert views, nearby recreational opportunities, and easy access to major highways, the property combines both lifestyle appeal and investment potential. Zoning and Land Use According to the San Bernardino County Land Use Services Department, this parcel is zoned RL (Rural Living), which carries a density standard of one dwelling unit per 2.5 acres maximum. While the property measures approximately 1.87 acres—slightly smaller than the minimum lot size for new subdivisions—the County typically recognizes such parcels as legal nonconforming lots, allowing development of a single-family residence subject to standard permitting. In addition to residential use, the RL district allows certain rural and agricultural activities, such as small-scale farming, gardening, and limited livestock, making it suitable for those seeking a lifestyle property or desert retreat. Development Potential Buyers considering new construction can explore the possibility of building a single-family home on the site, with the added flexibility of state-regulated ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) allowances, subject to County review. Standard RL development regulations apply, including setbacks, lot coverage, and building height limits, which should be confirmed during due diligence. Utility access and on-site infrastructure will also need to be assessed. Water is typically supplied via well installations in the area, and septic systems are common for wastewater. Power may be available in the vicinity, but buyers should confirm specific connection points and costs with local utility providers.
