Property Description
Set on five acres in The Highlands, one of the most sought after neighborhoods in South Joshua Tree, this private desert property is surrounded by expansive mountain views, striking rock formations, and open desert landscape. The Highlands is known for its larger parcels, privacy, and direct access to Joshua Tree National Park. The home features concrete floors, custom wood framed doors and windows, stained glass interior doors, and light filled living spaces. The oversized bedroom features patio access, desert views, and a wood burning stove, while a detached secondary bedroom provides flexibility for guests, a private office, or an artist's studio and retreat. Outside, native landscaping, mature desert growth, a large covered patio, outdoor shower, and additional three quarter bath create inviting spaces to gather, relax, and enjoy the property. Long range views extend east toward Joshua Tree National Park. Equally suited as a full time residence, weekend home, artist's studio and retreat, or income producing investment property, the five acre parcel offers ample space for expansion and the opportunity to further enhance an already exceptional setting.
