About This Home
As of January 2022Once in a lifetime... As you drive Park Blvd toward Joshua Tree National Park, alongside throngs of others, Tortuga Trail grants passage to a select few homeowners away from the crowds, to pristine privacy. This property has been owned for over 45 years by current owners. Tucked high up, overlooking the broadest swatch of foreverness, protected by centuries old boulders, and lovingly cared for by its land stewards, sits an original 1965 steel constructed sanctuary of unmatched quality and prestige. The home site is perfectly centered atop nearly 15 acres adjacent to government land. Its private concrete drive and many surrounding vignettes take full advantage of the spectacular and one of a kind location. Upon your arrival at the private gate, you are keenly aware that you are entering space that rarely becomes available. You are part of the history and nature that make Joshua Tree the million dollar destination. But you will never be part of the crowd.
