Pros & Cons

Pros

Stunning Desert Views & Acreage: The property sits on 2.50 acres, offering sweeping panoramic mountain and desert views from every room, providing an immersive desert sanctuary experience.
Proven Income Potential: Already a highly rated and turnkey Airbnb with 5-star reviews and a 'Guest Favorite' badge, offering immediate rental income or a ready-to-enjoy private retreat.
Significant Modern Upgrades: Features recent upgrades including a mini-split system (heating + A/C), updated electrical, 80-gallon water heater, butcher block counters, and owned solar, ensuring modern comfort and efficiency.
Versatile Detached Casita: A 420 sqft permitted casita/game room provides flexible space for guests, a creative studio, office, or additional entertainment, significantly enhancing property utility.
Outdoor Oasis & Amenities: Includes a cowboy pool and jacuzzi for enjoying the desert lifestyle under starry skies, along with an EV charger, adding to its appeal and modern convenience.

Cons

Age of Main Structure: Built in 1959, the main house, despite recent upgrades, may still present potential for age-related maintenance issues not explicitly covered by listed renovations.
Remote Desert Location: While a key feature, its desert location in Joshua Tree might not appeal to all buyers seeking proximity to extensive urban amenities or a different climate.
Compact Main House Footprint: The main house is 1076 sqft, which, even with the additional casita, might be considered small for some buyers looking for more expansive primary living space, especially on a 2.5-acre lot.
