If you’ve been searching for Coachella Valley land for sale, here’s the short answer. We own a 0.14-acre lot at 56334 Grapefruit Blvd in Thermal, Riverside County. We list it as a commercial parcel at $114,770, and seller financing is available. We’re the owner, not an agent, so there’s no commission built into that price.
A small lot at that price should make you ask questions, and it should. This post covers what the lot is, why it costs what it does, what you need to check before you put money down, and how paying over time works.
🏜️ What Is the Coachella Valley Land for Sale in Thermal?
It’s one small parcel in Thermal, an unincorporated community in Riverside County’s Coachella Valley. Unincorporated means no city government runs the area. Riverside County handles zoning and permits directly.
Here are the facts we can stand behind:
- 📍 Address: 56334 Grapefruit Blvd, Thermal
- 📏 Size: 0.14 acres, roughly 6,100 square feet. That’s about the footprint of a typical suburban house lot.
- 💵 Price: $114,770
- 🏢 Type: listed as commercial
- 🗺️ County: Riverside, with county planning and permits
You may have noticed every one of our prices ends in 770. That’s on purpose. It’s part of our name, and it means the price was set by us, the people who hold the deed.
💰 Why Does a 0.14-Acre Lot Cost $114,770?
Small commercial lots are usually priced per lot, not per acre. Sold by the acre, a lot this size would look very expensive. We’d rather show you that number than have you work it out later and wonder why we hid it.
$114,770 for 0.14 acres works out to about $820,000 an acre. Compare our 2.5-acre commercial parcel in Adelanto, which is $75,770, or about $30,308 an acre. The Thermal lot costs roughly 27 times more per acre.
That gap isn’t a trick. It’s how small lots work. Most of the value is in having a usable commercial address, not in the acreage, so the per-acre figure goes up as the lot gets smaller. Adelanto is also a very different market. If you’re looking at Adelanto land for sale, you’re buying space. In Thermal, you’re buying a spot.
We don’t have a verified average price for Coachella Valley commercial lots to give you, and we won’t make one up. Before you decide, look at recently sold commercial lots near Thermal on any major land site. Then judge our price against them.
🏗️ What Can You Build on a Commercial Lot in Thermal?
What you can build depends on the parcel’s current zoning, and only Riverside County can confirm it. Zoning is the county’s rulebook for what a piece of land may be used for. We list this lot as commercial, but it’s on you to confirm the exact zoning code and what it allows before you buy.
Ask Riverside County’s planning department about:
- Zoning and allowed uses. Which businesses are permitted, and which need a separate permit.
- Setbacks. A setback is the minimum distance a building must sit from the property lines. On 6,100 square feet, setbacks decide how much of the lot you can actually build on.
- Water and sewer. Ask the local water district whether service reaches the lot and what a hookup costs. We aren’t promising either one.
- Power. Ask the electric utility about service to the parcel.
- Flood zone. Look the address up on FEMA’s flood map. It’s free and takes two minutes.
- Road access. Confirm the lot has legal access from a public road, not just a dirt track people happen to use.
You don’t have to build anything. Plenty of people buy a lot like this just to hold it. If you might build one day, though, these answers decide whether that’s possible.
💵 How Seller Financing Works on This Lot
Seller financing means you pay us over time instead of getting a bank loan. There’s no bank and no credit check. Our usual starting terms are flexible, and we agree on them with each buyer:
- Down payment: typically 25–50% of the price. On $114,770, that’s about $28,693 to $57,385.
- Interest: 8% a year.
- Balance: paid over 6 to 120 months.
Here’s an example, not a quote. With 25% down and the remaining $86,077 spread over 120 months at 8%, the payment comes to roughly $1,044 a month. A shorter term means a higher payment. The calculator on the listing page lets you try other splits, and we’ll work out the real numbers with you.
🔍 How Do You Know This Lot Is Real?
You check us the same way you’d check anyone. Ask us for the APN, the parcel number the county files the land under. Then look it up with the Riverside County assessor and confirm the owner and size yourself.
At closing, use escrow. Escrow is a neutral third party that holds your money until the deed is properly transferred. Title insurance, which protects you if an old claim on the land turns up later, is worth asking about too. A real seller is happy to go through every one of these steps.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is Thermal land handled by a city or by Riverside County?
Land in Thermal is handled by Riverside County, because Thermal is unincorporated. Zoning questions and permits go to the county, not a city hall. That’s different from places like Adelanto or Blythe, which are incorporated cities that issue their own permits.
Can I buy commercial land in California without a bank loan?
Yes. On our parcels you can buy commercial land in California with seller financing, paying us directly over 6 to 120 months, usually at 8% interest. There’s no credit check. The down payment is typically 25–50%, agreed with each buyer.
Do you also have land outside the Coachella Valley?
Yes. Besides our Riverside County parcels, we have San Bernardino County land for sale in Twentynine Palms, Hesperia, Helendale and Adelanto, plus a larger commercial parcel in Blythe. Every one is off-market and sold directly by us.
Why is your land not on the MLS?
Our land isn’t on the MLS because we sell it ourselves, off-market. The MLS is the listing system real estate agents use. Skipping it means there’s no agent markup, and when you ask a question, the person who answers actually owns the parcel.

Where two acreage figures appear, the assessor’s record and the GIS measurement disagree by about 20% — we publish both rather than the flattering one. Zoning, access, utilities and permitted use must be verified with the city or county that has jurisdiction over the parcel before you buy — most of these towns are incorporated and issue their own permits.
