About This Home

As of April 2025

Been searching for a desert abode that's both private and close to the action? "Little Pink" is an adorable home a stone's throw away from Joshua Tree Village and the National Park! This charming house is truly your perfect desert escape. Wake up to incredible views of Joshua Trees and mountains from the backyard. Wander down to the Joshua Tree Farmers' Market on Saturdays, and the Dez Cafe for delicious local treats, and explore the wondrous National Park minutes away. You can easily enjoy the great dining/entertainment options nearby. Relax in the beautiful soaking tub, and end your evenings stargazing and seeing which constellations you can spot while laying in the comfy hammocks. Lovingly restored and updated over the last five years, this house enjoys a new roof, cowboy tub, electric panel, heating/air mini-split system, insulation, energy-efficient windows, washer/dryer, and privacy fence. The detached double garage would be great for an artist studio, workshop, or casita. There is also the option to purchase the adjacent lot for almost 10,000 additional sq ft. With no immediate next-door neighbors, you enjoy great privacy here and easy access on a paved road. Don't miss out on making this your perfect desert home!
