5 private acres, two blocks from Joshua Tree. 2,200+ sq ft of usable space. A dreamy 1956 mid-century desert home just two blocks west of the Joshua Tree border, set on 5 private acres of open high desert. Inside: 3 bedrooms bathed in afternoon sun, 1 bath, and a spacious open-concept living and dining area with polished concrete floors and spectacular aggregate. A vintage wood stove and brand-new ductless heating and cooling keep it comfortable year-round. French doors and walk-in closets throughout. The real story is the attached 770+ sq ft garage. The original owner built an airplane in it. Workshop, yoga studio, wellness space, or possible ADU conversion. Together with the home, that's over 2,200 sq ft of usable space. Two detached 120 sq ft sheds with built-in shelving add dedicated storage. Outside, two giant decades-old saguaro cacti and a majestic 100+ year-old Joshua tree anchor a landscape of yucca, ocotillo, barrel cactus, mulberry, Palo Verde, and fan palms, with mountain views beyond. Electric sunsets every evening, meteor showers, and dark starry nights with minimal light pollution. Your own peaceful sanctuary to ground yourself away from the city. Public water on 5 acres. No well, no hauled water, no HOA. Minutes from Downtown Joshua Tree, Giant Rock, the Integratron, and La Copine restaurant. Full-time home. Weekend retreat. Creative compound. Come for a weekend and you'll never want to leave.
