Terra Vivus is Latin for "The Earth is alive."
Welcome to a great balance of being away from civilization, engulfed in nature with peace and quiet yet also being 10 minutes away from the nearest market and 30 minutes away from the nearest city.
Chipmunks, crows, doves, crickets, coyotes, sparrows and many other creatures call this land home. This is protected land called a Significant Ecological Area mostly because of the thousands of Joshua Trees.

It can be windy at times, in order to mitigate this I recommend using your car(s) to block the wind. Local markets also sell neck gaiters for face protection. I also have pieces of plywood with bricks that you're welcome to move and shift to fit your needs. I am in the process of building a tree/shrub wind block.
There's about .4 miles of dirt road to get to the property, there are some dips to watch out for but I come out here in a little Prius so it's manageable.
Overall, there is an element of seclusion but occasionally people do drive by on the dirt road.
I would rate the cell phone service a 7/10, it's pretty solid but can go out at times.
The site is still being developed, and it’s clear that Mason is putting in a lot of effort into making it even better. It already offers some great features like a wind-protected bench, fire pit, outhouse, and picnic table. The wind was gusty, so I’d recommend checking the wind forecast beforehand. We really appreciated the site, and the views were great. We had a visiting dog that was really sweet! I look forward to seeing how the site continues to improve. We’d love to stay here again soon!

Loved the isolation, but extremely windy (my cot went flying lol). The dogs came to hang out at night and in the morning. Nice place to disconnect from the city.

Its wonderful place if you seek escape from city and being chill in nature. It's quite windy place so highly prepare the wind when you pitch your equipment on site.

It was still a peaceful and pleasant journey, though the wind blew quite a bit. If it's a windy day, set up your tent using Joshua trees as a windbreak.
