About This Home

As of January 2025

LOWEST PRICE/SF OF ALL SOUTH JT ACREAGE PROPERTIES! This 3 bed 3 bath centrally-located acreage property is fully fenced, nestled in the sought-after Upper Friendly Hills area, offering a perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. As you enter through the double gates and follow the circular drive, the panoramic views of the surrounding desert, including Joshua Tree National Park, unfold before you. The expansive property is adorned with pomegranate, pine, jojoba, juniper, and Mojave yucca, creating a picturesque oasis with plenty of room for future development such as an ADU for additional income. Steps lead up to the shaded front patio, a perfect spot to savor the stunning vistas. The living room welcomes you with built-in wide slat shutters and a large rock fireplace to keep you warm during winter nights. The home also features central heating and AC, and is on grid-tied solar for further efficiency. The kitchen features a breakfast bar, tile counters, an enviably large pantry, and a separate adjacent dining area. The spacious family room at the rear of the home offers plenty of space for entertaining, as well as access to the rear patio. This outdoor space, surrounded by a protective masonry wall, is ideal for cultivating your own vegetable garden without the interference of critters. The primary bedroom offers ample space and includes a walk-in closet, an en suite bathroom, and French doors opening to the back patio. Two additional bathrooms down the hall, along with a separate laundry area featuring a utility sink, add to the convenience. The rear bedroom spans the full width of the home and also provides access to the patio through French doors. Step outside where a large pergola, pond, and wooden bridge create a charming hardscape. At the rear of the property, you'll find a shed and workshop area with power for your creative endeavors. This home offers a fantastic opportunity for personalization, inviting you to infuse it with your aesthetic flair. While it currently awaits cosmetic updates, envision the potential to craft a space that truly reflects your personality and taste. It's a blank slate, ready to be adorned with your design dreams. The location is unbeatable, with just a 3-minute drive to Downtown Joshua Tree's shops and restaurants, and a mere 8 minutes to the West Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park.
