About this home
Enjoy simple desert living in this charming 1 bedroom, 1 bath tiny home located just minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park and the amenities of 29 Palms. Currently enjoyed as a vacation rental, this approximately 400 square foot single-family residence combines sturdy brick construction with an efficient layout and a fantastic location on a large lot just across the street from BLM land that fronts the National Park. Step inside to a cozy combination sitting and sleeping area filled with natural light from numerous windows. Wood-look flooring, built-in shelving, and a mini-split for zoned heating and cooling make excellent use of the space while maintaining a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. The surprisingly spacious kitchen and dining area offers plenty of room to cook and gather, with cozy terra cotta tile flooring, abundant counter and cabinet space and a gas range. The bathroom is also generously sized for a home of this scale and includes built-in storage along with a tub/shower combo. Outside, wooden privacy fencing surrounds a backyard retreat with an area of low-maintenance faux turf, outdoor seating, and a hammock for relaxing beneath the desert sky. Beyond the property, the adjoining BLM land creates an appealing sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape. Whether you're looking for a compact desert getaway or simply appreciate the efficiency and character of tiny-home living, this unique property offers a lot in a small footprint, all in a location that puts the beauty of the high desert right outside your door.
Smoke Tree, located between Utah Trail and Adobe Road, is a low-density and desert-residential Twentynine Palms neighborhood with wide-open skies and Joshua tree-studded lots. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Adobe Road corridor near the Twentynine Palms Highway, where small galleries, gear shops, and local diners set a practical, desert-town rhythm. Housing leans toward single-story ranch homes and compact desert cabins with gravel yards and shade structures. The landscape reads as high-desert plain, with long sightlines to the Little San Bernardino Mountains. A short drive connects to the 29 Palms Creative Center & Gallery for exhibitions and workshops. The nearby entrance area to Joshua Tree National Park shapes daily routines with trail maps, climbing talk, and stargazing plans.
