Discover your own private desert haven, where elegance and nature blend seamlessly on five enchanting acres. This remarkable compound invites you to experience a lifestyle of tranquil charm. At its heart lies a beautifully designed two-bedroom, two-bathroom main house, accompanied by a cozy studio casita complete with its own kitchenette and bath. Adding to the allure is a fully functional vintage Airstream station, thoughtfully connected to its own septic, water, and power, making it a perfect standalone retreat space.
Every detail here is crafted for comfort and ease. With three newly updated septic systems and a modern electrical setup, you can enjoy peace of mind. There’s also an EV charger for added convenience. Step outside and find yourself surrounded by lush, mature olive trees and vibrant gardens, creating a green sanctuary that invites relaxation.
Bordering open BLM land, you’ll enjoy breathtaking 360-degree mountain views and exceptionally dark skies perfect for stargazing. Just minutes from the western entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and the charm of downtown Joshua Tree and 29 Palms, this fully furnished short-term rental is a ready-made retreat.
Whether you're looking for a perfect primary residence, a short-term rental opportunity, or a flexible mixed-use getaway, this property offers endless possibilities. (NOTE: Tax Records state 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom. Buyer is responsible to research to see if work was done with permits, and to confirm that this is a SFR and not a Rec Cabin zoning.)
