About This Home
Discover the charm of this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in north Joshua Tree, where thoughtful design meets the serene beauty of the desert. Sitting on a sprawling 5-acre lot, this 748-square-foot home is less than 15 minutes from the iconic Joshua Tree National Park, offering easy access to endless outdoor adventures.
Inside, the home boasts wood-look tile flooring throughout and zoned mini-splits for comfortable cooling. The kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring quartz counters, a stainless steel electric stove, fridge, dishwasher, and oven vent hood. The bathroom combines simplicity and elegance with a tile backsplash and a shower-in-tub setup. The property includes a separate outbuilding, as well. Yard is FULLY fenced!
This property was previously a short term rental, but has been used as a long term rental recently. Thanks to its inviting aesthetic and highly photogenic spaces—perfect for capturing the magic of desert living, this could make a fantastic rental property again. Whether you’re an aspiring homeowner or looking to create a getaway that guests will love, this home is ready to impress.
Beyond the home, the Joshua Tree area is a haven for creativity and exploration. Enjoy the vibrant local art scene, live music at Pappy & Harriet’s, and events like the Joshua Tree Music Festival. For nature enthusiasts, hiking, stargazing, and rock climbing are just the beginning of the adventures awaiting you.
This home has been lovingly maintained, offering a peaceful retreat or an opportunity to share the desert’s allure with others.
