About This Home

As of September 2025

This desert retreat, nestled on a sprawling 2.5-acre mesa just moments from Joshua Tree Village and the iconic Joshua Tree National Park, offers a captivating blend of mid-century charm and breathtaking panoramic desert views. Imagine waking to spectacular sunrises painting the rugged mountains visible through expansive picture windows, or witnessing incredible cloud formations and the serene rise of the moonscape from the comfort of your living room. The home exudes character with its warm tongue and groove beamed ceilings, cozy wood-burning stove and smooth-coated stucco exterior. The seamless connection to the outdoors is undeniable, with multiple sitting areas inviting you to embrace the tranquility of the desert. Picture yourself unwinding in the spa under a canopy of stars, gathered around the fire pit on cool desert nights, while enjoying the lush, drought-tolerant landscape. This curated collection of cacti, desert willows, palo verdes, mesquites, and even fruiting olive trees has been admired on past landscape tours, a testament to the property's unique allure. Adding to its appeal, this property has a proven track record as a successful Airbnb vacation rental, offering immediate income-generating potential for the savvy buyer. Beyond the captivating aesthetics, this property offers practical appeal. An oversized detached garage and an expansive carport provide ample space for vehicles, storage, or the exciting potential to create a workshop or art studio. Envision the possibilities of converting this space into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) for additional living space or rental income. More than just a home, this secluded sanctuary offers a true escape for those seeking peace and connection with nature. With its generous acreage and inspiring natural beauty, this property presents endless opportunities to expand and personalize, creating the desert haven you've always envisioned.
