Looking for a long-term renter for our cabin, located in the California desert, 1 hour, 20 minutes southeast of Palm Springs. $800 per month.
We are an organic farm with a natural hot water source that flows at 124 f., located on a hillside in the Coachella Valley area of the California desert, 2 and a half hours east of Los Angeles, and over a half mile from any neighbors, in a rural desert environment.
Quite remote and secluded in a beautiful oasis-like desert setting, this is the third incarnation of a family farm that began in the 1920's, with lots of experience in organic orcharding. The crop here is dates and there are 7 varieties: medjool, barhi, khalas, dayri, zahidi, khadrawi and halawi.
The cabin is 432 sq. ft. and sits on its own unfenced property in a rural desert setting in the morning shadow of the Chocolate Mountains, 4 miles east of the Salton Sea, 5 miles from Bombay Beach. We usually rent this cabin with 1 tenant at a time due to house water limitations. Sorry, no pets.
The house will always be very private, and all yours. The front yard and backyard are thousands of square miles of empty desert wilderness.
150 yards away our rock lined pools can be filled with natural hot mineral water that flows from under the desert farm at 124 degrees (51 c.) letting it cool down to whatever temperature feels right.
The kitchen, bedroom and living room all have separate air conditioners (space heaters in winter). The bathroom is in a small, detached building and includes a toilet and sink, and there is a nice outdoor propane shower adjacent.
A private driveway with its own gate, there are no nearby homes, and it is an extremely safe neighborhood here...never having a single incident of theft in the 19 years of living here. The closest neighbor is a half mile away.
Some wild deer in the neighborhood, but also bighorn sheep, fox, coyote, bobcat, hawks, owls, lizards, geckos, rabbits. Native artifacts have been discovered on the property, and our desert nights are free of light pollution.
Private hot springs on small farms are extremely rare anywhere in America. This is a really great place to empty your head out and enjoy the lovely weather and an even better place to get and stay healthy in these unpredictable times, so this spot would be ideal for someone trying to heal, because we are well connected with natural food sources, hot & cold healing waters and have a vast library of healthy living literature.
Into things like: hiking, farming, yoga, sustainability, meditation, books, videos, bathing in our pools.....and creative simple living in a tobacco, cannabis, vaping, e-cigarette and drug-free environment.  I would like to connect with honest, environmentally conscious, earthy organic folks who are into fitness & share similar values, for this living situation.
 Sorry but not set up for kids or pets at this time.

Hi Ben,
 Greetings and thanks for your inquiry. The farm here grows 7 varieties of dates, and to keep up with the palms it requires thorning, hand pollination, thinning fruit, bagging the fruit, harvesting, sorting then selling. Irrigation is year-round. I do host volunteers through Wwoof, but have to turn a lot away because there are so many of them most of the year. This region has some of the highest unemployment in California, so very few chances to earn money out here. The water is also salty, so palms do well, but most other plants do not. Date palms grow all over the desert from the Mexican border to Las Vegas, but taking care of them for fruit production is more work than most other fruits.
My previous farm was in a central California coastal valley where I grew 30 types of fruity. Like avocados, blood oranges, carob, sweet pomegranates, but my main crop was mulberries. None of those trees can tolerate salty water. A fish farm usually needs to be quite large to be profitable, and some of my neighbors do this.
A lot of folks travel to this region in winter for the weather, and there are 3 free hot springs in the area; one at Slab City east of Niland, one called 5 Palms east of Brawley and Holtville Hot Well east of Holtville.
Life is better out here than the overbuilt California coast, and I still try to encourage Permaculturalists to grow mulberries. Check out the attached photos. Imagine fitting $2000 of any fruit crop into a Volkswagen Jetta.
~~~~Cheers~~~  Gordon
