About this home

This FULLY FURNISHED 3-bedroom, 2-bath rustic-modern compound rests on 3.51 acres in scenic Joshua Tree. Set on the mesa and fully fenced for privacy, the property offers sweeping views of the surrounding hills and mountains along with a tranquil desert atmosphere. Thoughtfully renovated, the home features polished concrete floors, white wood-paneled walls, skylights, and sliding glass doors in the bedrooms that fill the interiors with natural light. The open-concept kitchen, ideal for entertaining, includes a large island, sleek black cabinetry and fixtures, granite countertops, and a tile backsplash. The adjoining living area with large slider overlooking the backyard is enhanced by vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Both bathrooms have been stylishly updated with tiled walk-in showers and contemporary lighting. Comfort and efficiency are ensured with Mitsubishi mini splits, upgraded electrical, a new water heater, and full gutters. Outside, a generous covered patio invites relaxation and gatherings, accented with rattan light fixtures and black-and-white Aztec tile at the entry and steps. A detached cedar shed with a covered porch, dedicated power, vinyl flooring, extra fridge, and lighting offers versatile use as an art studio, office, or yoga space. The property also includes an RV electrical hookup, ample parking, and a Tuff Shed for added storage. The L-shaped lot features paved road frontage and a side gate off Shifting Sands Trail—perfect for a potential second dwelling with private access. Outdoor highlights include two water meters, a pool with custom wood decking, a hammock circle, and mature, drought-tolerant landscaping with olive, acacia, pepper, and palo verde trees, as well as agave and cacti. Freshly graded trails at the rear provide a great way to explore the land by foot or even on horseback. Located just 15 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, under 10 minutes to downtown, and less than 5 minutes from the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Art Museum, this one-of-a-kind desert retreat offers a rare blend of style, space, and location.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive & Versatile Lot: The property boasts a substantial 3.51-acre fully fenced L-shaped lot with paved road frontage and a side gate, offering privacy, potential for a second dwelling with private access, two water meters, RV electrical hookup, and ample parking.
Extensive Modern Renovations: Thoughtfully renovated, the home features polished concrete floors, white wood-paneled walls, skylights, sliding glass doors, an open-concept kitchen with sleek black cabinetry and granite, updated bathrooms, Mitsubishi mini splits for climate control, upgraded electrical, and a new water heater.
Prime Joshua Tree Location & Views: Situated on a mesa in scenic Joshua Tree, the property offers sweeping views of surrounding hills and mountains, a tranquil desert atmosphere, and is conveniently located 15 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, under 10 minutes to downtown, and less than 5 minutes from the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Art Museum.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Amenities: Outdoor features include a generous covered patio, a pool with custom wood decking, a hammock circle, mature drought-tolerant landscaping, and freshly graded trails, providing diverse options for relaxation and recreation.
Income & Flexibility Potential: Being fully furnished, combined with a detached cedar shed (with power) suitable for an art studio/office/yoga space, and the potential for a second dwelling, makes this property highly attractive for short-term rentals or multi-functional living.

Cons

Modest Interior Square Footage: With only 1052 sqft of interior living space for a 3-bedroom home, it may be considered small by some buyers, especially given the expansive 3.51-acre lot size.
Age of Original Structure: Despite extensive renovations, the home was originally built in 1971, which could raise concerns for some buyers regarding the underlying structural integrity or systems not explicitly mentioned as fully replaced.
Niche Market Appeal: The rustic-modern aesthetic and specific desert retreat style, while appealing to many, might cater to a more niche buyer market, potentially affecting resale velocity or broad market appeal compared to more conventional properties.
