Description
Exceptional North Joshua Tree property offering space, privacy, panoramic views and a truly unique fully equipped mechanic’s garage. Situated on 5 expansive acres in an area characterized by limited development and extensive BLM lands in the neighborhood, this property captures the openness and tranquility that make the Joshua Tree area so special. The 1,496-square-foot residence features three bedrooms and one bathroom and has been operated as a vacation rental, offering excellent possibilities as a full-time residence, desert retreat, second home or continued investment property. A 12-foot wide, 624-square-foot porch extends along the entire length of the house on the south side. From here you can take in the wide-open vistas stretch in every direction, including dramatic mountain views toward Joshua Tree National Park. With seemingly endless horizons, both sunrise and sunset become spectacular daily events. A standout feature of the property is the approximately 40' x 30' Quonset-style building—approximately 1,200 square feet—with an impressive clear height of approximately 15 feet. Currently configured as a mechanic’s garage, the building includes a vehicle lift along with an extensive collection of automotive mechanic tools and equipment. It could also be an art studio. The property is being offered with the mechanic garage setup included, creating an extraordinary opportunity for the automobile enthusiast, collector, mechanic or buyer looking for substantial workshop and vehicle space. Several horse stalls are also on the property. The five-acre setting provides exceptional separation from neighboring development while maintaining the distinctive rugged beauty of North Joshua Tree. Surrounded by vast desert landscapes and distant mountains, the property delivers the privacy, workspace and expansive views that are increasingly difficult to find. A rare opportunity combining a three-bedroom desert residence, five acres of land, successful vacation-rental history and an approximately 1,200-square-foot fully equipped automotive workshop—all beneath the expansive skies of Joshua Tree.
