About This Home

As of March 2025

A desert oasis weekend retreat? Maybe your full-time sanctuary? Or would you prefer a combination of it all? The opportunities are virtually endless at this beautifully remodeled Joshua Tree Highlands compound, which encompasses 2.5 acres of natural desert and iconic boulders. Panoramic views span mountains, natural landscapes and, after dark, an incredible starry sky. Just five minutes from Joshua Tree's downtown and national park, the private oasis slowly reveals a single-level main house, a separate studio and garage, and a completely remodeled Airstream trailer. A new two-tiered view patio showcases a stunning saltwater pool with 15' acrylic window, an open-air fireplace and a bubbling hot tub. Another patio is ideal for outdoor dining, and the studio features two patios. The main residence hosts two bedrooms and one bath, a living room with fireplace, and a dining room that opens to the pool. In the sleek modern kitchen, chefs of all skill levels will appreciate an island, white cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Pool views embellish the primary suite, where a chic bath shines with penny-tile flooring, two sinks and a walk-in rain shower. Enjoy the style and benefits of vaulted open-beam ceilings, concrete floors, standing-seam metal roofs and ultra-fast Starlink internet.
