Description
Walk into Joshua Tree National Park from your doorstep. Set in a truly rural, wilderness setting, this remodeled and updated property offers rare privacy, panoramic views, and direct access to outdoor adventure. The open-concept floor plan combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas into a spacious Great Room designed for gathering and entertaining. The oversized en-suite primary bedroom functions as its own private wing, offering abundant space for sleeping, relaxing, or creating a home office/work area. A detached studio guesthouse with its own bathroom provides flexibility for guests, creative space, or additional privacy. Unwind in the hot tub overlooking expansive desert wilderness on a generous 2.5-acre parcel surrounded by mature landscaping, including Joshua trees and established shade trees. Despite the peaceful, secluded feel, the property remains conveniently close to downtown shopping and dining, as well as the National Park entrance. Leave the car parked in the driveway and hike nearby rocky peaks, explore deeper into the surrounding wilderness, or simply enjoy evening drinks beneath dark desert skies filled with stars. Properties offering this level of seclusion, dramatic rock formations, and sweeping desert views are increasingly rare.
