Description

Nestled in the serene beauty of the Joshua Tree desert, this property offers a private and spectacular escape in one of the area's most desirable locations, bordering Joshua Tree National Park. As you arrive, it becomes evident that this is a true sanctuary, tucked away from the road and nestled against majestic mountains, all under the tranquil shade of tall trees. Scattered across the landscape, one-of-a-kind boulder formations invite exploration, while your own backyard hosts a serene rock pond shaded by a magnificent pepper tree. Upon entering the home, cool terracotta tile flooring guides you to a spacious open-concept living and dining area adorned with a custom 150-year-old hand-hewn reclaimed ceiling beam and a pellet stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen, with its vaulted ceiling equipped with rain-sensing venting skylights, features a 2-inch mahogany countertop and ample storage. A door from the kitchen leads to the back patio, offering an ideal spot for al fresco dining and grilling. The separate generously sized primary bedroom features a custom-tiled en-suite bath and opens to a private patio, creating a peaceful retreat. Both oversized bedrooms feature antique reclaimed barn red oak flooring and ample closet space. The second primary bedroom includes an en-suite bath with an oversized tub. The property seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living, with dual French doors gracefully opening to the covered front porch, charming cobblestone skirting, and well-established landscaping surrounding the home. Brick patios on all sides have been thoughtfully designed to offer multiple gathering spaces, inviting you to take in the expansive views and the shaded backyard. The elevated deck is a true gem, offering an exceptional vantage point for stargazing with sweeping panoramic views extending from north Joshua Tree to the national park. Additionally, the cozy fire pit area features a custom stone bench for fireside relaxation. Amenities include a dual septic system, 2 x 6 framed walls, a built-in JBL speaker system, central heating and air, as well as a working evaporative cooler. Moreover, the property has a 768 sq ft garage, with a workshop area, and a 720 sq ft artist loft that's already plumbed and ready to be converted into an ADU. This desert retreat, on the market for the first time in 35 years and lovingly maintained, offers a rare opportunity to live in harmony with the natural beauty of Joshua Tree, whether you seek a weekend getaway or a full-time residence. It's a perfect blend of seclusion and convenience, with easy access to the park and all that the high desert has to offer.
