About this property
Set across 20 extraordinary acres of park-like desert wilderness, this Joshua Tree retreat feels like owning a private piece of the National Park. Joshua trees, sculptural boulders, native terrain and winding trails surround the property, with panoramic views in every direction and spectacular High Desert sunsets. Thoughtfully remodeled in 2024, the two-bedroom, two-bath residence blends warm Japandi-inspired design with the raw beauty of its surroundings. Cork flooring, concrete countertops, an induction range, updated windows and doors, and artistic details give the interiors an organic, understated character. Sculptures and creative installations throughout further the feeling of a true artist's retreat. Outdoor living is at the heart of the experience. A sunken hot tub and yoga deck overlook the horizon for unforgettable sunsets, while an outdoor soaking tub and greenhouse-style outdoor shower create intimate connections with the surrounding landscape. Trails, rock formations and endless open land transform the 20 acres into a private desert playground. A 1000+ square-foot detached garage with vaulted ceilings offers significant value-add potential, with the possibility of conversion into an ADU with up to three additional bedrooms and creating the potential for a five-bedroom desert compound. There is also ample room for a pool and further outdoor development. With its acreage, privacy, experiential amenities and potential to expand the guest count, the property presents an exceptional opportunity to create a standout Joshua Tree short-term rental. Whether envisioned as a private sanctuary, creative compound, second home or high-performing desert retreat, this is an increasingly rare Joshua Tree offering: 20 private acres, remarkable natural beauty, thoughtful design and exceptional potential. A true trophy property of the High Desert.
