About This Home

As of March 2025

Presenting 60885 Sonora! Located in the countryside of Joshua Tree an artist designed retreat awaits. Ideally located with expansive views, seclusion and room to build this 414 square foot cabin rebuilt almost completely in 2020 and completely remodeled is as gorgeous as the surrounding countryside. The home brings great elements of rural, easy living to this picturesque and natural setting. The interior of this studio cabin is clean, modern and comfortable. The fenced area portion of the over 4 acre parcel was transformed with over 300 plants and trees with irrigation and lots of serene areas to enjoy the grounds in privacy. Partially off grid with the homes owned solar panel system and propane appliances make for a simple, useable set up. The home is on municipal water and trash. Views abound from the elevated location allowing you to see for miles and take in breathtaking sunrises and sunsets and to enjoy the star filled desert night skies. Adding value is plenty of additional infrastructure to work with. There are two 20ft. containers included in the sale, a fifth wheel trailer with septic connection, 2 cowboy tubs, east and north facing pergola covered patios and a slab constructed in 2014 that extends well beyond the exterior walls of the cabin itself. The cabin also has newer dual paned windows, a nice wood burning stove inside, two tankless water heaters, brushed concrete floors, outdoor shower and an outdoor sink and six foot fencing with privacy slats. The furniture within is negotiable. If you are looking for cabin living or a vacation retreat to relax in and use as a jump off point to all the high desert adventure and sight seeing locations this is the place. Located less than 15 miles to the main entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, close to Giant Rock, The Integratron, and downtown Joshua Tree. Come take a look and make this desert oasis yours to own.
