Opportunities like this don't come along often: TWO side-by-side, flat, build-ready lots on paved Honolulu Lane in the quiet Salton Sea community of Desert Shores, CA. Buy one for just $15,000 — or grab both for $30,000 and lock in nearly half an acre of level desert land with room to spread out, build big, or hold as an investment. Each lot is 0.21 acres (9,246 sq ft) of flat, straightforward build site — no grading headaches, no rough dirt roads. You'll enjoy year-round paved asphalt access and electricity available at or near the lot line (buyer to verify with the local utility district), making this one of the easiest starts you'll find at this price point. Picture it: a weekend desert getaway, an off-grid retreat, or your starter build — all with wide-open skies and distant views toward Mowgood Mountain. The neighborhood is peaceful, the road is paved, and the price is right. Why settle for one lot when you can double your land? Combining this parcel with the adjacent lot at 123 Honolulu Lane gives you flexibility most desert buyers only dream about: extra space for an RV pad, workshop, garden, guest setup, or simply privacy from future neighbors. At $15,000 per lot — or $30,000 for the pair — this is affordable California land with real upside. Priced to move, and once the double-lot option is gone, it's gone. Don't miss your chance to own a rare side-by-side pair in Desert Shores. Inquire today before someone else scoops up both!
