ACCEPTING BACKUP OFFERS.

Welcome to Polaris Ranch! Sitting on a beautiful 2.5 acre horse property only 5 minutes from Downtown Joshua Tree, the property is close enough to all that Joshua Tree has to offer and far enough to provide you with the tranquility you seek in the desert.

This designer gem offers a wide open floor plan with a living space that is perfect for entertaining and lets in more natural light than you ever imagined. The living room features a hand troweled TV/entertainment wall upon which sits a wood burning fireplace to cuddle up by during the cool desert nights. The new modern kitchen will make any chef feel right at home and comes with all top rated appliances included.

Your sleeping quarters include 2 spacious bedrooms, one of which connects to the en-suite bathroom that features double vanity sinks and a luxurious floor-to-ceiling tiled walk in shower. An additional bonus room can be used as a third bedroom, an office or whatever your imagination dreams up.

The fully re-designed exterior features exotic, brazilian wood clad walls, a reed covered sun shade under which you can relax, and a courtyard that connects the main house to the workshop/shed that can be used for entertaining, an outdoor living space or your very own horse barn.
