Property Description
A beautifully restored 1959 mid-century home just a five-minute walk from Joshua Tree Village's best shops and restaurants, and only a few miles from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has been thoughtfully remodeled to offer every modern comfort while preserving the clean, minimalist soul it was built with. Concrete floors, vaulted ceilings, and abundant natural light set the stage, while a fluted stone accent wall and cozy fireplace bring warmth and character to the main living space. Step outside and the desert lifestyle takes over: unwind on the hammock, gather around the fire pit under the stars, or stretch out on the day bed with your favorite show playing. The expansive outdoor living space, framed by rock walls and lush desert landscaping, is made for entertaining, whether it's a quiet sunset or a dinner party with friends. Sold turnkey with its high-end furnishings and curated art collection, this home is ready to walk into as a personal retreat, a proven vacation rental, or both. The sale also includes the adjacent 8,400 sq. ft. lot (APN 0602-231-03-0000), a rare opportunity to add a guest house, pool, or simply secure extra privacy and space in one of the desert's most sought-after pockets. Slick, sun-soaked, and steps from downtown, this is Joshua Tree living at its best.
