    ** Multiple Offers received - highest and best due March 16th 9:00 am- Agents SMCO1 attached in documents . **'This place generates something that is almost impossible to identify, but unquestionably has a very serious effect on people who are interested in looking around.'--Peter Alexander, artist and iconic member of the Light and Space movement, on the influence of Southern California desert on his work.Here is your opportunity to own the property of renowned artists Peter Alexander and Claudia Parducci, which was lovingly used as their second home and cherished art studio in the high desert. The couple searched for 4 years for the perfectly situated piece of land to create an inspirational home, settling on this homesteader over 20 years ago. The carefully restored main home is full of light and exceptional desert views. The main residence consists of 1 bedroom and 1 bath, galley kitchen, and an open living and dining area. The home is surrounded by patios to enjoy your nest in the mountains. An additional 1,200 sq ft covered pavilion with 2 guest rooms (which the artists used as studios), a bath, and storage area. Pull your loungers out onto the large cement pad and sleep under the stars. The property includes a detached 2 car carport and circle drive, and detached storage shed with full laundry. Situated on 5 acres tucked high in Big Morongo Canyon, this charming, good vibes property (nicknamed The Love Shack) is looking for its next chapter.
