Description
Set on 1.2 acres in the heart of Joshua Tree, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath desert hideaway delivers the laid-back homestead cabin vibe people come to the High Desert searching for—plus sweeping southern mountain views that steal the show. Just over a mile from Joshua Tree Village and minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, you get the best of both worlds: close enough for coffee, cocktails, and dinner, but far enough out to enjoy wide-open skies, quiet mornings, and that unmistakable desert stillness. Inside, the home feels warm, relaxed, and made for desert living, with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and an easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Solar helps keep energy costs down, while the fully fenced property gives you privacy, space, and plenty of room to create your own desert retreat. Outside is where the magic really happens. Wake up to sweeping mountain views, watch the desert light shift across the horizon, settle in for glowing sunsets, and end the night beneath an enormous canopy of stars. Gather around the fire, unplug, and let the desert do its thing. Currently operating as a short-term rental, the property is being sold turn-key, including the furnishings (except a few exclusions and artwork negotiable), making it an easy opportunity for someone looking for an income-producing property, weekend escape, or full-time desert home. Bring your bags, settle in, and start living the Joshua Tree life from day one. A cool, comfortable desert compound with big views, open skies, and the relaxed character that makes the High Desert so hard to leave.
