About This Home

As of January 2025

This one-of-a-kind Joshua Tree home is rated a "Guest Favorite" on Airbnb, and features a massive manicured yard like no other in Joshua Tree. Hundreds of rocks and boulders compliment a massive, irrigated garden of desert plants, mature shade trees, a large fire pit, and a gorgeous wood privacy fence that wraps the entire property. In Spring, the yard comes to life with thousands of desert blooms, and a happy community of desert iguanas reside here year-round. Just a stone's throw from the JT Saloon and all downtown Joshua Tree has to offer (the best pizza, coffee, and boutiques in the Hi-Dez!) and just a few miles from the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, this adorable home and astonishing yard offer privacy, millions of stars to get lost in, and a respite from the heat after a long day exploring out in nature, with all the modern conveniences of home. The home itself has been lovingly maintained with tile flooring throughout, dual pane Milgard windows, copper plumbing, and many tasteful updates. Central AC & gas furnace run on a Nest thermostat for predictable comfort. Designed for maximum appeal, this home is move-in ready, or ready to continue on as one of the most popular homes on Airbnb! The current owners are sad to see her go, but excited to find the next stewards of this amazing property! *In 2021, plans were approved by San Bernardino County to convert the garage into a primary suite and expand the home to become a 1,585 square foot, 3 bed, 3 bath home with wrap-around porch, outdoor fireplace, and a separate carport. Permits expired in 2023, but the formerly approved plans will be included in sale.*
