Enjoy this serene desert retreat. A thoughtfully reimagined three-bedroom, two-bath desert retreat ideally situated in Joshua Tree Village. Recently remodeled, the home blends curated comfort with everyday convenience, located just minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. Inside, the residence offers a warm and inviting living area complemented by a contemporary kitchen designed for both functionality and style. Outdoors, the layered backyard creates a private oasis, complete with a hot tub, cowboy pool, hammock, and a dedicated pergola-covered dining patio, perfect for enjoying the tranquil desert setting under open skies. The property features a fully fenced yard and a highly walkable neighborhood with easy access to local restaurants, boutique shops, and the popular Saturday farmer’s market. The attached two-car garage has been partially converted into a flexible yoga and fitness space, ideal for wellness-focused living. Offered as a turnkey opportunity, the home may be delivered with furnishings included, making it well-suited as a primary residence, vacation getaway, or income-producing investment. The property is currently operating as a successful Airbnb, with a transferable license available. Recent upgrades—including a newer electrical panel, solar lease, EV charger, and central HVAC enhance both efficiency and long-term comfort. This is a rare opportunity to own a serene and income-generating retreat in one of Southern California’s most desirable desert communities.
