10 acres in Joshua Tree

[Eric Mcginn]

Looking for an affordable well driller that will work in Joshua Tree. I spoke to one company that estimates $65k all in for a solar powered well and pump. Estimated 500’ depth and quoted 50’ distance needed from Quail Wash, a seasonal drainage way. I do like that he knew exactly what he was taking about but that’s a big chunk of change!! 
At that price I’m not in a hurry to do anything, we will camp there a few times as allowed by the county and will list it for sale (at a profit) as soon as we get good pictures. 
But I’m looking for ideas and regional experience on what to do with it. It’s between copper mountain college and downtown Joshua tree just north of 29 palms road.
