About This Home

As of October 2025

This incredible desert retreat sits on five fully fenced acres, offering privacy, tranquility, and breathtaking natural beauty. Formerly used as a retreat, this property is designed to accommodate many guests, making it perfect for a family getaway, vacation rental, or peaceful sanctuary. Mature trees and scenic walking trails wind through the property, leading to a beautiful gathering area with a fire pit and a spacious outdoor patio. From here, you’ll enjoy unobstructed views of Joshua Tree National Park, the surrounding mountains, and the stunning desert landscape stretching to 29 Palms. Inside, this charming and inviting home features two bedrooms, a bonus room (which can serve as a den or third bedroom), and 2.5 baths. The recently updated kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with an 8-burner cooktop and a double oven, perfect for entertaining. Several recent upgrades make this home move-in ready. The roof was replaced three years ago, and the entire interior and exterior were freshly painted just last year per Seller. A new concrete septic system was installed two years ago. The property also includes two large storage sheds, two storage containers, newly poured concrete areas, and a built-in BBQ for outdoor gatherings. If you’re looking for privacy, seclusion, and a true high-desert escape, this is it. Whether you're seeking a personal retreat or a lucrative Airbnb opportunity, this home is a rare find. Come take a look and experience its magic for yourself!
