About This Home

As of June 2025

Major PRICE REDUCTION! Prepare to fall in love with this coveted Joshua Tree Highlands property, a lovingly restored recreational cabin that hearkens back to Joshua Tree’s historic homestead days. Perfectly perched on a sprawling 5-acre parcel, this desert retreat offers privacy, tranquility, and unmatched natural beauty in one of the area’s most sought-after locations. The property is flanked by a 15-acre buffer of government land to the east and BLM land stretching southward to Joshua Tree National Park—a nature lover’s dream come true. Spring transforms this oasis into a wonderland, with wildflowers blanketing the landscape and golden senna blossoms filling the air with their enchanting fragrance. This charming cabin boasts a welcoming front porch where you can relax with coffee, taking in the breathtaking panorama of rocky hills and geological wonders as the desert light shifts and shimmers from pink dawn to fiery orange dusk. Wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted by the frequent visits from tortoises, jackrabbits, cottontails, and even coyotes, making each day an adventure in nature. As evening falls, marvel at the dazzling stars that light up the night sky, accompanied by the hauntingly beautiful calls of coyotes in the distance. The current owners have enhanced this property’s practicality by installing an irrigation-rated water meter and planting an array of native trees, creating a flourishing desert haven. This is more than just a property—it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of desert magic. This exceptional property is ready to welcome you home. Don’t miss your chance—come see it today!
