About This Home

Discover a unique mid-century Western-style retreat on 5 private acres in scenic Morongo Valley, just 2 miles into Big Morongo Canyon. Perched atop a hill at the end of a solar-lit drive, this renovated home offers modern upgrades throughout. Expansive windows and sliders frame sweeping mountain views, while an open floor plan flows into a bright sunroom, library/office, bedroom, and a full bath. A 600 sq. ft. covered veranda provides stunning vistas by day and city lights by night. The wine frig is ready for you to keep a solid supply, so you are ready with a glass of wine for the sunset. The 1,500 sq. ft. warehouse/workshop is ideal for RVs, art studio, dirt toys, storage, or multiple vehicles. Enjoy solar-lit trails, a gazebo, fire pit, and tranquil streamside views. Just minutes from Joshua Tree and Palm Springs, and approx. 2 hours from L.A. Private showings only—please do not go to property without an agent.
