DESERT CABIN : WATER : POWER : 5 ACRES : Just about as awesome as they come. Built in 1956 this little gem is perched in the renown Valley of the Moon; north Joshua Tree's hidden secret in time. The entire solar system makes its way across this portion of the desert, uninterrupted, as a perpetual flow of cosmic solitude. Beneath a celestial arc of timeless intrigue lies this humble desert cabin, standing proud, bathed in sun drenched weathered wood, faded shades of soft white, surrounded in the depth of serenity and peace only found in the remote reaches of this Mojave Desert. The wood in this cabin was milled before most of us were born, dense timber of a larger dimension we rarely see today. Remotely standing over 60 years in a land that is just as awesome now as it was in 1956. Water meter on the property and a new electric meter panel installed, new modern conveniences that make turning on a light or showering down on a hot summer day all the more desirable. A refreshing spot with simple amenities, a true desert cabin, beneath a celestial wonder, draped upon a desert landscape, an original desert homestead to always call your own.
