About This Home

As of May 2021

Nestled in a beautiful valley between two rocky hills sets this picturesque 5 ac property and Homestead Cabin constructed of concrete block with views of the valley and Joshua Tree National Park. The cabin is flanked by BLM property and privately-owned properties mostly unbuilt. For 15 years the current architectural designer / artist owner has used the property as an art studio as well as location to experiment with the development of Tiny Homes, Camping Platforms and Temporary Relief Housing intended for low income users. With the original roof, windows and doors removed and interior walls painted white the studio space is a light filled oases connecting to expansive views with an abundance of light. Passively controlling light with shades over the top of the cabin as well as a porch allows for 360 degrees of unabstracted beauty. On the east side of the cabin is a wooded deck which serves as a landing place for the owners vintage Airstream (not included) and expands usability. To the northwest is a 64sf camping platform (included) and the south another set of footings awaiting your vision. The property includes over 75 sheets of architectural design sketches which dabble in concepts for structures, additions to the cabin and a survey which places property corners. None of the drawings are complete enough for a permit but are wonderful ideas for future structures and your dream home. The property is also flanked by both the power and water grid allowing future connection
