About this home

Rural Feel Country Living: Convenient to downtown, hiking, National Park and paved road! Fully-Furnished, Turnkey (minus sentimental items belonging to family) – ready to move in. Great primary residence or parttime getaway supplemented by STR. Fully fenced property, bring you children, pets and horses! Ride into the hills from the back gate at sunset on a full moon night, with a warm, light, easterly breeze and coyotes howling in the distance. Or hang on the back porch sipping an evening beverage, letting the day slip into night & the following morning a cup of joe on the hammock at dawn. Open well-lit interior with large windows and tall, vaulted ceilings finished with tongue and groove natural wood provide an organic ambiance. Solid wood front door accents the rustic, along with the wood door casings entering the bedrooms. Classic kitchen cabinetry with granite counters brings a clean, modern touch – as do the tile flooring and custom travertine tiled shower. Spacious living room for socializing. Freestanding wood stove for cold nights. Dining area and nicely designed kitchen create an inviting warmth, contrasting the wilderness just outside the front door. Hidden by a small stand of trees and brush between the house and the roadway, the exterior exudes privacy with nearby mountain views. Step across the yard into the detached garage, finished as a second living room/theater/late night hang spot, with wine cooler, ductless mini-split AC/Heating, dart board, and even a garage door to fling open at midnight to join the coyotes howling at the moon. Regardless of the many homes for sale, none match the esteemed wilderness/near town aesthetic, remote/rural feel of the one-and-only – glorious – Sunset House!

Pros & Cons

Pros

Versatile Use & Turnkey Ready: The property is fully furnished and turnkey, making it ideal for immediate primary residence, a part-time getaway, or a short-term rental (STR) investment.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Offers a desirable rural feel while being conveniently located near downtown Joshua Tree, hiking trails, and the National Park, with paved road access.
Detached Multi-Purpose Flex Space: A finished detached garage provides valuable additional living space, equipped with a wine cooler and mini-split AC/heating, perfect for entertainment or a home office.
Charming Rustic Modern Interior: Features an open, well-lit interior with vaulted wood ceilings, large windows, classic kitchen cabinetry with granite counters, and a custom travertine tiled shower, blending rustic charm with modern updates.
Expansive & Private Lot: Situated on a large, fully fenced lot (over 1.6 acres) offering significant privacy, mountain views, and ample space for pets, horses, and outdoor activities with direct access to trails.

Cons

Age of Original Construction: Built in 1957, the property's original structure is older, which may lead to concerns about the condition of underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly stated as fully updated.
Limited Main House HVAC: While the detached garage has a mini-split, the main house description only mentions a freestanding wood stove for heat, implying a potential lack of central air conditioning, which is crucial for comfort in the desert climate.
Niche Market Appeal: The strong emphasis on a 'rural feel' and 'wilderness aesthetic' caters to a specific buyer demographic, potentially limiting its appeal to those seeking a more conventional suburban or urban living experience.
