Each unit is steel constructed with closed-cell spray foam insulation and commercial-grade roofing membranes, exceptional energy efficiency (see expenses), superior durability against sun and wind, and an extremely low-maintenance ownership profile. Unlike much of the area, the property is served by municipal water and grid power - no well, no water hauling, no off-grid complexity. Both units hold active San Bernardino County short-term rental registrations and carry high guest ratings (4.96 and 4.97 across 475+ combined reviews), with the Desert Moon holding "Airbnb Guest Favorite status" and the Starship ranked in "top 10% of eligible listings." Future upside potential is substantial! 1. Marketed exclusively only on AIRBNB; expand to direct booking, other sites + target corporate/retreat/wellness channels = UNTAPPED DEMAND. 2. 7.5-acre parcel may offer potential subdivision for an ADDITIONAL LOT & HOME(S) - buyer to verify w/ SB County Land Use. 3. LUXURY/WELLNESS repositioning of Moon- sauna, redlight, pool heating or change to in-ground, and complete design refresh (See AI renderings). ALL 3 options offer a path to HIGHER ADRs in a market where unique stays and wellness focused spaces now command significant premiums. Fully furnished and turnkey with operating history and revenue documentation. This is a unique new construction, dual-unit compound with income + growth strategy.
