Idyllically positioned on a private hillside where views of Joshua Tree and the mountains are wide-open, this one-of-a-kind property is outside of the hustle of town and offers an oasis in the expanse. This 1950s homestead cabin was carefully renovated into a modern desert retreat, with the history still felt throughout the space. Every aspect of this tastefully designed and renovated one bedroom, one bath home is intentional and authentically Joshua Tree. Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams provide an open airy feel. The sealed, original concrete floor is cool in the summer and easy to maintain. This property was completely renovated and features outstanding architectural design elements - new corrugated metal roof, new windows, doors, drywall, upgraded 200 amp electrical server, tankless water heater, new mini-splits for heating and cooling, outdoor shower, Schoolhouse Electric lighting, Smeg refrigerator, new kitchen, bathroom, wood-burning stove… and more. There is a walk-in storage area with a washer-dryer and plenty of shelving. Everything is professionally done with impeccable attention to detail. This home is in perfect vintage condition on 2.5 secluded acres. Endless stars and vast unobstructed sunrises and sunsets are enjoyed from the front porch. Known as 'Luna Cabin' on Airbnb, it's an extremely successful vacation rental for several years and is the definition of turnkey. (PS. Do not go without having your agent contact listing agent!Guests may be on site. )
