About This Home

As of October 2024

Joshua Tree Highlands, ACREAGE & VIEWS! Behold this tranquil and delightful 2.5 acre property perched nicely with a backdrop of hills and boulders, in the always coveted Joshua Tree Highlands area, within hiking distance to Joshua Tree National Park and ensconced in desert wilderness. This large, 2 bedroom home with attached separate guest quarters boasts nearly 1600 square feet of living space and commanding views. Stainless steel appliances—with recently upgraded dishwasher and range--gorgeous butcher-block counters, and stained cabinetry contribute to the warm, inviting feel of this oasis. Ducted evaporative cooling and central HVAC plus wood stove offer year-round comfort. With an attached 2-car garage, plus separate large studio space, plus large separate workshop, this house has it all. This gem is all set up for the equestrian buyer, but would be perfect for most anyone. Great for full-time living or maybe just a weekend-getaway property. The location is stellar--properties in this area are always in demand. Come see today!
