Salton Sea Waterfront Lot Info...
Now is a good time to buy in Desert Shores!
Tract 662 in Imperial County is the only place to be on the Sea that is 100% waterfront with an active homeowners association, strong C, C & R's, in the village of Desert Shores and the closest to quality shopping in the La Quinta/Indian Wells/Palm Desert area with close expressway access.
Commentary: In 1996, L. Anderson, Inc. began buying lots and built a model home on Venice Lane in Desert Shores. We initially bought 26 lots from the original developer of all 240 lots in Tract 662 - Desert Shores, then 1 lot and then 8 lots... all in 1996 and our last lot in 2004. We have sold 17 lots and have 19 left! During the 9 years we lived in Desert Shores we never had the capital to build more homes until 2004... our last year there! I had the plans ready for a two level 2,100 sf house at 105 Venice Lane, the lot was prepared and a water meter installed... the next step... a permit was never taken out as we decided to retire to TX where our daughter and her boys were moving!
In 2004/2005 we sold enough lots and the model along with our IRA investments to enable us to retire comfortably in TX ... we had fought for years to get a recommended plan for the Sea and felt it would take another year or two for that to happen... and it finally did happen in 2007 & two different plans... so waiting was prudent and it looks like we will be waiting longer!
Smart investors who want to be ahead of the curve will buy now... because the "price is right & they want a place here!" Waiting until the crowd arrives... and they eventually will arrive, will only cost more money! Believe me... it will happen... because Desert Shores, Tract 662 cannot be duplicated anywhere in the world, the prices in total will be an unbelievable bargain, and it is a great/fabulous place to have a get-a-way!
We are too happy playing golf in TX near our family and too far into retirement to join the effort to push Desert Shores now... all we can do is reduce the price of lots to the lowest price since 2004 and hope the right kind of people will find us and Tract 662 in Desert Shores... remembering they are not making any more water front lots!
So it is now time for those that want a waterfront lot in the desert to do it! The window is here... NOW... and they won't get any cheaper from us!
Call or email if you have any questions or ideas! I am told there are some real deals out there now in Tract 662... Capri Lane for $50,000! WOW! Our last sale on Capri Lane was for $100,000 in 2004 for a nearly identical lot!

waterfront lots are still owned by L. Anderson, Inc. in Tract 662,
Desert Shores - Please call if a bulk sale for all lots @ $60,000 per lot is
desired! Owner financing at 4 1/2% with monthly interest and annual principal
payments for 4 years after a 20% down payment. Title transfers when paid
in full! Take all or part... see list below!
It won't get better than this for a waterfront lot in Tract 662 from us! Our last sale for a waterfront lot was $130,000 in early 2005... last advertised price was $160,000 in September, 2005... so this is a real deal! These lots will come back to 2005 levels within 4 years. The timing is ideal for those that want to buy now & build later when two huge development projects (several thousand homes, shopping centers and golf courses) adjacent to Desert Shores are started... and they will start now that a plan for restoring the Sea is in place & the economy is being addressed. They are not making waterfront lots any more... so better jump on it!

Salton Sea Info:
There are many people and groups still supporting the SSA Vision and none more helpful and influential than the Torres Martinez Tribe. That coupled with the areas' ability to raise the money to fund the project, County/Tribe jurisdiction over land use, and strong local support still gives us reason for confidence!
The tribe is doing something... Check out Debi Livesay's project!
This is the tribe's project that is on hold since early 2008:
SPECIFIC PLAN NO. SP00375 (Travertine Point Specific Plan) The
Travertine Point Specific Plan is proposed by Black Emerald, LLC in
consultation with the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians. The
Specific Plan area currently consists of approximately 5,131 acres of
land of which 4,148 acres (approximately 81 percent) is within
Riverside County, and 983 acres (approximately 19 percent) is within
Imperial County. Approximately 1,419 acres (approximately 28 percent)
of the total Specific Plan area consists of land located within the
reservation of the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians; 785 acres
within Riverside County and 643 acres within Imperial County. The
portions of the Specific Plan controlled by the Torres-Martinez will
be processed under the requirements of the tribe and, as appropriate,
will be subject to additional environmental reviews under the
National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) per 40 CFR 1501.5
because the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians are designated a
sovereign nation. The proposed project consists of a Specific Plan
that would master-plan approximately 5,130 acres as a residential
mixed-use community. This specific plan includes several residential
or mixed-use colonies, each with its own mix of land uses. The
colonies included in the specific plan consist of (1) the Town
Center, (2) the Resort and Marina, and (3) the Residential Colonies
(Golf, East, and West). The Travertine Point Specific Plan envisions
98 acres of commercial use including 100 residential units, 87 acres
of mixed use development including 700 residential units, a 34 acre
Business Park, 127 acres of resort and marina activities, 2,239 acres
of residential uses containing 11,500 units representing various
densities, styles and concepts, 276 acre golf course, 2,061 acres of
open space, and 208 acres of roads. The total specific plan will
contain 12,300 residential units when completed. The plan will also
contain a Cultural Resource Preserve which will celebrate the unique
culture of the Torres-Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians and their use
of ancient Lake Cahuilla, as well as a Living Desert that will
exhibit the unique flora and fauna that make up the lower Colorado
desert and the Salton Sea.
Note: There is now a plan for Saving the SALTON SEA that has been recommended by the CA Department of Water Resources & the SSA is standing by their plan... either works for the people who own land in Tract 662 in Desert Shores.
