Superior Energy Efficiency & Durability: Built with advanced SCIP (Structural Concrete Insulated Panel) construction, exceeding California Title 24 energy standards, offering superior insulation, fire resistance, seismic durability, and equipped with solar panels and dual-zone HVAC.
Luxury Finishes & Modern Amenities: Features a custom kitchen with handmade cabinetry, sleek Dekton countertops, premium Fisher & Paykel appliances, elegant custom Italian tile and terrazzo flooring in bathrooms, a 2-car carport, and an EV hookup.
Exceptional Investment Potential: The property is Airbnb-ready with a permit in process, boasting a forecasted annual revenue of $250,000, making it a highly attractive income-generating asset in a desirable location.
Private Outdoor Oasis with Views: Situated on a generous 44,867 sq ft lot with a fully enclosed backyard, a sparkling pool with a baja shelf, space and hookups for a future hot tub, multiple private patios, and panoramic desert, hill, and mountain views.

Cons

Premium Price Point: With a list price of $1.785 million, this property is positioned at the higher end of the Joshua Tree market, which may narrow the potential buyer pool to a niche luxury segment.
Specific Aesthetic & Location Appeal: The modern desert retreat style and Joshua Tree location, while highly desirable to some, may not appeal to all luxury buyers, potentially limiting market breadth compared to more universally appealing properties or locations.
Ongoing Maintenance Costs: Despite claims of low-maintenance living, a large 44,867 sq ft lot with a pool and potential hot tub in a desert climate will incur significant ongoing costs for landscaping, pool upkeep, and utilities.
