About this home

Tranquility & privacy awaits! This newly upgraded three bedroom, three bath home is located on 15 acres right in the heart of Joshua Tree. Throughout the home you’ll enjoy the simple yet thoughtful touches that slowly transform your busy thoughts into a relaxed, meditative state. Conveniently located 20 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, 13 miles from black rock nature center & 8 miles from local grocery stores. Unobstructed poolside views of Joshua Tree National Park perched on the southern horizon. Newly constructed Pebble Tec pool blends seamlessly with the landscape. This 15-acre ranch, located 20 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park and 13 miles from Black Rock Nature Center, perfectly merges luxury with the raw essence of the desert. Relax in the 50-foot pool or enjoy a tranquil evening in the 10-person spa. Pride of place is the outdoor patio, adorned with awe-inspiring artwork crafted by Master Artist Troy Bryant and 100 other local talents, ingeniously piecing together portraits of the very animals who once roamed this ranch. This outdoor space also features a barbecue area complete with ample seating, ideal for those who love to host. Nestled in its harmonious environment, you won't find a neighbor for at least 3/4 of a mile in any direction. Bask in the serene privacy of this secluded gem where you can lay under the stars unclothed if you so choose, with not a soul in sight. This desert gem sleeps 13, offers a 3 bedroom, 3 bath cheerful, sun-bathed living space fully furnished with a 3-car garage and includes multiple outdoor sheds and 2 Conex boxes for all of your storage needs. 20kWh of solar and 2 Tesla batteries provide peace of mind by eliminating the electric bill and giving seamless protection in the event of any power outages. There are 2 industrial swamp coolers designed to cool the house and mini splits in each room to bring each area to your desired comfort level. The roof deck allows for nearly 360° views of Joshua Tree taking sunrises and sunsets to a whole new level. The 5-acre lot that adjoins the house lot has a little dirt racetrack for UTVs, dirt bikes, or ATVs, and even a 5-acre lot to the south with a paid water meter on it. The grounds are intricately lined with railroad ties from the very tracks that helped pave the West. The existing infrastructure, including water spigots at each animal pen and intact fencing, allows the new owner to easily revive the bustling ranching operation if desired.

Luxurious Outdoor Oasis & Panoramic Views: Features a newly constructed 50-foot Pebble Tec pool, 10-person spa, artistic outdoor patio with BBQ, and breathtaking 360-degree views of Joshua Tree National Park from the roof deck and poolside.
Advanced Energy Independence: Equipped with a 20kWh solar system and two Tesla batteries, providing significant energy savings and reliable power backup, virtually eliminating electric bills.
Versatile Land Use Potential: Includes additional 5-acre lots, one with a dirt racetrack and another with a paid water meter, alongside existing infrastructure for potential ranching or recreational development.
Turnkey & Thoughtfully Upgraded Home: A recently upgraded, fully furnished 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence with a 3-car garage, ample storage (sheds & Conex boxes), and efficient cooling systems (industrial swamp coolers and mini splits).

Cons

Substantial Price Reduction History: The property has undergone significant price drops from its initial listing of $1,499,995 to $1,065,000, potentially signaling market resistance or an initial overvaluation.
Relative Remoteness for Amenities: While offering seclusion, its location 8 miles from grocery stores and 20 minutes from the National Park might be perceived as inconvenient for daily needs by some buyers.
Modest Interior Square Footage: The 1791 sqft interior living space may be considered relatively small given the expansive 15-acre lot and the property's luxury price point.
