About this home

Time to slow down and unwind at Wagon Wheel Hideaway - a 1955 midcentury cabin set on five acres of pristine desert, just five minutes from the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Backed against the boulders of Monument Manor, this nostalgic retreat offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of desert history with more than enough space to write a new chapter. Architectural plans have been drawn by the renowned firm Oller & Pejic for a structure that engages in an evocative conversation with the landscape. Cherished by the same family for over half a century, this much-loved vacation home has been a gathering place for holidays and quality time within its cozy two-bedroom, one-bathroom footprint. Attached to the house, a spacious two-car garage includes a storage and bonus room, ideal for a studio or creative workshop. Outside, mature Joshua trees anchor sweeping desert vistas visible from every room. Add a pool, park your Airstream, open up a bygone-era Airbnb, or simply sit back and watch the sky turn orange and violet each evening from the porch- the possibilities are endless. This is the one - a prestigious Monument Manor location, BLM hiking trails up the road, stargazing, close proximity to the buzz of downtown Joshua Tree, and the tranquility of nature right at your doorstep.

Tear down

Built in 1955, this property is a true mid-century time capsule with no significant renovations in over 50 years. The kitchen features extremely dated white appliances, worn laminate countertops, basic wood and white cabinets, and old linoleum/vinyl flooring. The bathroom, though only partially visible, appears equally outdated with vintage fixtures and finishes. The entire interior is characterized by extensive wood paneling, original light fixtures, and what appears to be original flooring throughout, indicating all major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC beyond a wood stove) are likely original or very old and would require complete replacement. While technically livable, the property's condition is far from modern standards and would require a complete gut renovation or, more likely, demolition to realize its full potential, especially given the mention of architectural plans for a new structure. Its value is primarily in the land and location.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Natural Beauty: Situated just five minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, backed by Monument Manor boulders, with BLM hiking trails nearby, offering unparalleled desert, mountain, and panoramic views from every room.
Significant Development Opportunity: Includes architectural plans by the renowned firm Oller & Pejic, providing a clear vision and head start for a substantial modern expansion or new construction on the expansive lot.
Expansive & Versatile 5-Acre Lot: A generous five-acre parcel of pristine desert land offers immense privacy and endless possibilities for customization, such as adding a pool, additional structures, or recreational vehicle parking.
Historic Midcentury Charm: A 1955 midcentury cabin, cherished by one family for over 50 years, presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of desert history with nostalgic appeal and character.
Functional Bonus Space: Features a spacious two-car garage with an integrated storage and bonus room, providing flexible space ideal for a studio, workshop, or additional utility.

Cons

Compact Living Quarters: The existing structure is a modest 1064 sqft with two bedrooms and one bathroom, which may be restrictive for larger families or those desiring more expansive living spaces.
Age-Related Updates Required: Built in 1955, the property likely requires significant updates to its systems, infrastructure, and interior finishes to meet modern standards and comfort expectations.
Substantial Investment for Realization: While offering great potential, realizing the property's full value, especially with the Oller & Pejic plans, necessitates a considerable financial and time investment for renovation or new construction.
