The problem presented by dumping in the Pit is on the way to solution. The eighteen and a half acre parcel now has two Berkshire Hathaway realtor signs on it for an asking price of $1,200,000.
As of a few weeks ago there was a new pile of slash on the property that I have no plans for removing. A new owner will be responsible.

With bad math that is like 67k per acre. A while back small lots in Indian Cover were going for up to 50k (.25 to .3 acre) Developers took a bath on that, but still. I think most standard lots are about 5 acres for 20 to 50K. Maybe this one is a bit better due to location and size. Not like I'd be paying it...
Edit: quick look around that area shows 5 acres for 75k and a few 1 acres in the 30k range... so yeah, maybe that is what they are going for. Unreal... Bring on the man-buns braj!

That sounds like a more realistic price range...
For a meth lab site. Been looking for quite a while up in Washington and Oregon.
Nice property up there goes for $20-30K/acre, and up.

After another look... if you are looking to fire up a dab/wax/shatter/grease/bubble/datura/flakka lab, there is land going for way less on the outskirts. For 5k you can be hangin' in your cargo container with a lab coat on and well away from it all, on acreage. Sounds like a location issue on the big price tag.

You may! I’ve signed Dr Frank N Furter to run it - I don’t do fumes well.
BTW, I’m rockin’ some oxycontin as we type! Total n00b but it is SWEET!

If someone's getting "the good shite" for something non-serious, the practitioners should be questioned. Opioid addiction is serious, and it often starts with prescriptions from doc. Not suggesting Reilly is apt to abuse - just saying; the days of popping painkillers like Oxycontin like they are candy is over, except in cases when docs are unethical.
...............
As for 5K parcels in the outskirst - I have been looking. Problem is building to code and following zoning regs brings the cost up considerably. One can only "camp" on a parcel in San Bernardino County 3 days out of 30.
FWIW - I am hoping to look at some Rec Cabin designated parcels when I am there this winter. One with remnants of the shack preferred. I'll be there about mid December(I'm in Eastern Kansas today). If anyone has some leads, I'd appreciate them!

I've been looking in that area and it's a possibility(though I haven't saved up as I should have, and have been buying beads along the way on this trip like mad), but I would really like one w/Rec Cabin designation, and those are going going, almost gone, with all the LA people buying them and turning into AirBnB's.

Thanks for the advice! The doc had a noice multimeter so I’m pretty sure he knew what he was doing. The Wife was also a colleague of said sawbones up til a few months ago so she’ll cut me off as indicated. 😫

Holy cow!
Ask a realtor where all the JT houses costing 30K have gone. Landers has none. Here in south JT (which realtors call Mulholland drive) there is nothing available. And there, if it were only average it would still run 45K/acre. In a north JT area where the Team is cleaning up trash, a resident showed me a typical 1950's hovel that just went for $220,000.
What the hell is happening?
Well to start we have artificially low interest rates. The price of a place means nothing. It is the monthly cost, or PITI, that determines what people can pay. This is a bubble. The FED printed four trillion dollar bills in 2008 assuming everyone would spend those dollars. They didn't. They all went into bank accounts. Now investors, foreign and domestic, are worried about inflation and want to get into real assets. Watch the readings for consumer confidence. I think they are based upon nothing. But they determine everything.
As to the Pit. The 1.2 million dollars is not important. Not if you plan to build 40 houses.
Personally I don't mind what's happening to the Pit. Simply put, I don't have to drag out the sh#t that was being dumped there anymore. And, at the same time, suffer absurd claims that I was doing it because I had some agenda. Holy fuk!
I am otta here.
Two or three years ago I went to Indian Cove to pick up the trash in the group camp sites. Beyond belief. I found one site where the garbage from the fire pit had been tossed into the bushes. A few weeks ago I took another look. Incredible! The NPS has made a miracle happen there. Spotless. I don't know what the NPS has been drinking. Saw the same thing in Yosemite this last Facelift. Took me a half hour to find one damn cigarette butt.
Think I have died and gone to heaven.

The Joshua Tree Clean Team is surely responsible for this astonishing development. Clean properties = higher prices. But somehow I bet that you're not getting a deserved percentage of the increased prices.

Actually, realtor signs soon show up on about half the properties the Team has cleaned. But as we all know, correlation does not prove cause.
Tomorrow morning I have two mattresses and a refrigerator to pick up.
Big change I have not mentioned. In central JT the businesses behind Tortoise Island have begun to maintain that island. Huge difference.

I would have guessed for 1.2 million, you could buy that entire town.
