About This Home

As of March 2024

It's not just a house, it's your own private desert park! Hiking trails and natural features and lots of animals. The 200' peak on the property has a perfect circular campsite or stargazing spot and is visible from most of Joshua Tree. Very private patio. Lots of wildlife. Huge patio with a massive boulder in the center, pond and waterfall (which attracts wildlife) and hillside night lighting. The house is updated throughout, yet retaining the mid-century modern look. Very quiet neighborhood with great neighbors who also appreciate the uniqueness of the area. There is also a public hiking area at the other end of the street which was featured in a film by Nature Valley. This is a mid-century 2 bedroom, 1.75 bath, house at the top of the south side of Joshua Tree and bordering BLM land. The house is brick and very well-built with huge (real) beams in the living room and kitchen, and a white marble floor. Best possible location on the south side of Joshua Tree and with no one above you. House is upgraded throughout, with an updated kitchen, custom closets in the bedrooms, and fresh paint throughout. RV parking in two locations and an oversized garage. Amazing, panoramic views from all the front windows, and equally amazing views out the back!
