About This Home
As of July 2024Walk from your front door up the road and into the National Park. No car necessary. Sit in your living room and stare through two joshua trees at the giant boulder mountain on the opposite side of Monument Manor. One mile to the front gate of the Park and just far back enough to avoid heavy traffic on holidays. Midcentury 2 bed/2 bath set on 2.5+ acre parcel. New roof, new fascia, two fully remodeled rustic farmhouse modern bathrooms and the rest of the house waiting for your special touch. Floor are concrete slab – easily polished. Walls of living area are vintage wood paneling taking you back to the day, easily painted or drywalled over. Exterior is newly painted. Detached garage that could be remodeled into a permitted ADU for extra living space or kept for mass storage. Spacious lot features several camping sites and an RV hook-up. While not zoned or permitted as a campground, one can have groups of friends roll in for a yoga retreat and sprawl about (not on) the cacti in the yard relaxing in the afterhours. Lightly populated rural area with large lots near wilderness. Only one parcel away from government land, then boom you’re on an epic hike to never never land. The only factor inhibiting your vision is your own mind – slowly opening up to the limitless possibilities of mr toad's wild ride – all aboard
