About This Home

As of October 2023

Views, views, views! Nestled atop 5 acres on a pristine desert mountainside, this charming pink homestead boasts panoramic views of Morongo Valley and beyond. There's simply nothing like golden hour in one of the soaking tubs or on the patio, where you can catch a glimpse of both San Gorgonio and San Jacinto in the distance. For the last year, this private oasis has been a 4.9-star Airbnb with dozens of glowing reviews about its ''secluded'' feel at an elevation that offers spectacular opportunities for sunset drinks and stargazing - plus sprawling acreage blanketed in desert flora and fauna.Located at the perfect midway point between Palm Springs and Joshua Tree, The Desert Lookout features an expansive living and dining room with vaulted ceilings and picture windows that perfectly frame the stunning views. There's plenty of cabinet storage in the kitchen, which has a custom wood island for extra dishes and a dual-unit HVAC system. The massive primary bedroom is multi-use and currently features a dedicated workspace and desk as well as its own sun-drenched meditation room with a built-in Murphy bed. It's cooled by a remote-controlled mini split. The ensuite bathroom has a shower, tub and double sinks. A front door smart lock makes arrivals and departures a breeze, and an extensive filtration system is available for the onsite well. Seller willing to consider offers inclusive of furnishings.
