Description
Exceptional Joshua Tree property on 2.5 total acres comprised of two separate legal 1.25-acre parcels, sold together. Located just off a paved road and only minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, this property offers privacy, convenience, and long-term flexibility. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath home features an open-concept layout with polished concrete floors throughout and seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The dining space is anchored by a statement Malm fireplace, adding warmth and architectural character. The kitchen is equipped with a Bertazzoni induction range, while mini-split systems provide efficient year-round heating and cooling. Additional seller improvements include dimmers on all ceiling lights, separated bathroom switches, a checked and labeled electrical panel, and repaired garage wiring. The shaded front porch has been enhanced with a retrofitted awning, repaired porch area, poured concrete step, and custom screen door. Exterior improvements also include stucco repairs and a Eufy security system with five exterior cameras. In the rear, the refurbished oversized deck and large hot tub capture expansive 360-degree desert and National Park views, creating an ideal setting for stargazing, entertaining, and quiet desert living. One parcel is approximately 1 acre fenced with heavy-gauge metal fencing and accessed through a motorized solar-powered gate. Mature desert landscaping, including established Joshua Trees, enhances the setting, and the lot has been cleared of toxic and potentially dangerous cacti and plants. The property is also connected to city water, adding everyday convenience and long-term value. A separate detached garage provides additional storage and future potential, with seller upgrades including interior retrofit work, exterior rehab, and a new garage door motor. With two legal parcels included, the possibilities are significant: expand, build an additional structure, create a multi-structure compound, or hold the second parcel for future investment. Buyer to verify all uses and development potential with county. A rare opportunity to own acreage, privacy, views, and flexibility in a prime Joshua Tree location.
