About This Home

Set on 5 wide-open acres, this rustic 1958 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is brimming with potential. Investors, artists, and visionaries will appreciate the eclectic character and versatile layout. The main house features a light-filled open living area with sliding glass doors to the backyard, plus a cohesive kitchen/living space with bold red cabinetry that adds a fun vintage touch. The full bathroom includes a shower/tub combo and vessel sink. Natural light pours into every room, enhancing the home’s inviting atmosphere.
Beyond the home, a detached two-story barn expands the possibilities. Complete with plumbing, a half bath, and an upper-level deck with a spiral staircase, this space could be reimagined as a studio, workshop, guest quarters, or creative retreat. A fenced area around the house offers privacy and utility, while the expansive acreage leaves room to grow. The property is serviced by hauled water, providing flexibility for those seeking a low-maintenance option in the desert.
Enjoy star-filled skies at night, sweeping mountain views by day, and the creative energy that has made the High Desert a destination for artists, adventurers, and investors alike. Just minutes from The Palms Restaurant and a short drive into 29 Palms, this Wonder Valley property is ready to be transformed into a one-of-a-kind desert retreat.
