5 Acres, Endless Desert Views & Front Row Access to Johnson Valley Adventure! Welcome to 5566 Oleta, a beautifully maintained 2 bedroom, 1 bath home offering 936 square feet on an expansive 5 acre parcel in highly desirable Johnson Valley. Located on the north side of Highway 247, this property offers a great balance of privacy, accessibility, and adventure. Step outside to miles of open desert and dirt roads stretching toward the world famous King of the Hammers action and Johnson Valley Off Highway Vehicle Recreation Area. Whether you want a full time desert home, weekend retreat, off road basecamp, or simply room to spread out, this property delivers the space and setting Johnson Valley is known for. Inside, the home has a clean, traditional feel with a wood burning stove in the living room, perfect for crisp desert evenings. In addition to the two bedrooms, a versatile third room can serve as an office, guest space, hobby room, or flex space. The attached one car garage offers room for a workshop, gym, or creative workspace, plus a covered carport for shaded parking. RV and power connections near the front add convenience for trailers, desert toys, or guests. Approximately 1 acre is fully fenced, providing room for parking, vehicle maneuvering, and easy maintenance, while the remaining acreage gives you space to stretch out. Three large storage sheds provide additional room for tools, equipment, and recreational gear. The home is serviced by hauled water and, according to a local lender familiar with this property type, traditional financing options may be available. Buyers are encouraged to verify financing directly with their lender. While the setting feels wonderfully private, you’re not buried deep in the desert. Highway 247 is approximately one block away, with dining, gas, and local conveniences within a reasonable drive. During King of the Hammers season, you’re close enough to enjoy the action while still having your own 5 acre escape away from the crowds. Five acres. A clean desert home. Garage and RV accommodations. Off road country right outside your door. Privacy without being disconnected. At this price point, 5566 Oleta is a remarkable opportunity to own your own piece of Johnson Valley.
