Description
A private Joshua Tree nature compound on 2.5 acres, consisting of two separate legal 1.25-acre parcels sold together. Located just off a paved road and minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, this peaceful desert retreat is surrounded by mature Joshua Trees, abundant birdlife, visiting wildlife, endless skies, and brilliant nighttime stars. The serene 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers a calming, open-concept interior with polished concrete floors, a statement Malm fireplace, Bertazzoni induction range, and energy-efficient mini-split heating and cooling. A shaded front porch and expansive wood rear deck extend the living spaces outdoors, creating an inviting setting for dining, entertaining, stargazing, or simply enjoying the stillness of the desert. The large hot tub completes the experience with sweeping desert and National Park views. Approximately one acre is enclosed with heavy-gauge metal fencing and accessed through a motorized solar-powered gate, providing exceptional privacy and security. Additional improvements include retrofitted porch and detached garage areas. Connected to city water, the property also offers valuable long-term flexibility: expand, create a multi-structure compound, develop the second parcel, or retain it as a future investment. Buyer to independently verify all uses and development potential with the appropriate county agencies. A rare opportunity to own a tranquil desert refuge with acreage, privacy, inspiring views, and two legal parcels near the heart of Joshua Tree.
