Description

Both are positioned to take full advantage of sweeping Morongo Valley views. This high-desert hidden gem is approximately 18 minutes from Palm Springs, 20 minutes from Pioneertown, 30 minutes from Joshua Tree, and two hours from Los Angeles. Set across five private acres, this peaceful property offers the opportunity to embrace indoor/outdoor living and create a personal sanctuary, wellness retreat, creative escape, or income-producing getaway.Just beyond the cabin's living room windows, quail gather and an occasional curious coyote may wander by. For an added touch of desert charm, the animal-loving owner installed a petite owl house atop the roof, where tiny owls have been known to occasionally visit. Settle into an al fresco dinner at sunset and watch the desert come alive. Here, nature isn't something you simply look atit comes to you. And when the desert grows quiet, you'll experience something increasingly rare: peace. Inside, a vaulted wood ceiling with exposed beams and clerestory windows fills the cabin with natural light. Cozy up on chilly nights beside the propane fireplace set against a rock wall. The updated, spacious bathroom features a shower, while the charming kitchen offers a hand-hammered copper sink and breakfast bar overlooking the valley. The flexible living area can easily transition from daytime retreat to sleeping space.Just steps away, the approximately 400 sq. ft. finished shipping container is currently configured with two sleeping areas and a half bath. Keep it as guest space or imagine an art studio, writing room, or creative workspacethe possibilities are endless. Outside, a fenced dog run offers space for your furry companion, while two shaded horse stalls add to the property's unique character. End the evening rejuvenating in the spa beneath the dark desert sky. The property is offered turnkey with everything you need to move in and begin enjoying it.Spend your days immersed in nature, then venture into Pioneertown for live music and BBQ at the legendary Pappy & Harriet's or explore its eclectic shops and artisan offerings. Head east to hike and stargaze in Joshua Tree National Park, grab a bite in Yucca Valley, or head into Palm Springs when you're craving restaurants and entertainment. Here, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of both the high and low desert. 9223 North Star Trail is more than a place to call home. It's an invitation to live differently to trade noise for quiet, crowds for open space, and the ordinary for something extraordinary.
