Time to slow down and unwind at Wagon Wheel Hideaway - a 1955 midcentury cabin set on five acres of pristine desert, just five minutes from the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Backed against the boulders of Monument Manor, this nostalgic retreat offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of desert history with more than enough space to write a new chapter. Architectural plans have been drawn by the renowned firm Oller & Pejic for a structure that engages in an evocative conversation with the landscape. Cherished by the same family for over half a century, this much-loved vacation home has been a gathering place for holidays and quality time within its cozy two-bedroom, one-bathroom footprint. Attached to the house, a spacious two-car garage includes a storage and bonus room, ideal for a studio or creative workshop. Outside, mature Joshua trees anchor sweeping desert vistas visible from every room. Add a pool, park your Airstream, open up a bygone-era Airbnb, or simply sit back and watch the sky turn orange and violet each evening from the porch- the possibilities are endless. This is the one - a prestigious Monument Manor location, BLM hiking trails up the road, stargazing, close proximity to the buzz of downtown Joshua Tree, and the tranquility of nature right at your doorstep.

Enchanting, historic South Joshua Tree acreage and view home! In 1954, Colonel E. B.

This iconic desert home sits high up in Monument Manor and boasts sweeping views of distant hills and nearby jutting boulder formations. Featuring 2 full bedrooms and a bathroom as well as a bonus room with a wood stove, laundry and utility closet, spacious garage with workbench, a storage shed, and more, this charmer offers comfortable living. The stunning, warm wood-beamed ceilings, original finishes and classic décor will steal your heart. And the location is to die for! Ensconced in ravishing desert wilderness, this property enjoys quick access to a myriad of hiking trails among towering boulders and very close proximity to the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. From astonishing pink-orange sunrise to breathtaking sunset, enjoy all the wild and wonderful beauty that Joshua Tree has to offer! Don’t miss this opportunity.
