About This Home

As of March 2025

Rancho Deluxe is a mid-century, move-in ready, slice of paradise on five acres with 180 degree views. This rare desert gem is an original homestead property located 12 minutes from downtown Joshua Tree in a safe, tranquil rural neighborhood. The house was built to custom specifications and has been completely updated. Perfect as a first home, writer’s retreat or as a turnkey vacation rental investment (down to the dishes and linens), this is the ultimate, affordable, miles-of-style desert hideaway.
