About this home

7880 Wesley Road, in the Friendly Hills neighborhood of Joshua Tree, is a thoughtfully designed desert retreat set on 2.7 acres with panoramic 180-degree views of the Morongo Basin and beyond. The main house offers approximately 2,300 square feet of living space (not including the artist studio) and features four bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite created by combining two bedrooms, a large office created from a fourth bedroom, and a guest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom that includes an oversized shower. The home has three bathrooms in total, including a full bath with a soaking tub adjoining the primary bedroom, a second ensuite bath, and a third with a pedestal sink near the office. Inside, the home is finished with porcelain tile flooring throughout and features extra-wide hallways and large closets in the bedrooms and hallways for plenty of storage. The living room includes a wood-burning fireplace and a custom-built wall unit with a large TV and network cabling. The open kitchen features granite counters, recessed lighting, and a large pantry. There is also a separate laundry room with generous storage space and a washer and dryer included. Outdoor living is exceptional, with a full outdoor kitchen that includes granite counters, a built-in BBQ, smoker, sink, and wood-burning pizza oven, all adjoining a partially enclosed outdoor dining area. The property also features a cedar-planked sauna with a dressing room, an outdoor shower, and a spa. A fully refurbished 30-foot Silver Streak trailer serves as a charming guest house, complete with a covered redwood deck offering a canyon view. Creative and hobby spaces abound, including a artist studio with evaporative cooling and sliding glass doors to the north, and an 1,800 square foot climate-controlled steel shop that doubles as a man cave and gym. A climate-controlled greenhouse adjoins the shop, adding to the property's versatility. The home features dual-zone comfort conditioning as well as evaporative cooling, powered in part by an 11kW owned solar system. Approximately two acres of the property are fully fenced, making it ideal for privacy, pets, or gardening. This property offers a rare blend of peaceful desert living, artistic inspiration, and practical amenities just minutes from the heart of Joshua Tree and the national park entrance.
