Escape to your own serene sanctuary with this tranquil, private 2.5-acre Desert Retreat, fully fenced and thoughtfully designed for peaceful living or a weekend getaway. This carefully maintained and recently updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home features durable, wood-look vinyl flooring and a well-equipped kitchen with a spacious island—perfect for cooking or entertaining. Offered fully furnished with all the amenities - organic hybrid memory foam latex mattresses, and stylish furnishings (all less than two years old), this home is move-in ready the moment you close. Stay comfortable year-round with recently installed efficient mini splits for both heating and cooling. Step outside and discover even more to love: a large detached garage that holds exciting potential for an art studio or guest house conversion, an inviting pergola for shaded outdoor dining, a cozy firepit area, and mature desert landscaping serviced by brand new permitted grey water system. Indulge in a soak in the outdoor freestanding tub, privately nestled on a wooden deck and perfectly positioned to take in star-filled night skies. Wake up to stunning views of Goat Mountain from the front porch, shower under the open sky, or unwind in the swing chair and hammocks. A vibrant mural adds a creative touch to the garage exterior, and the entire space is made for relaxing, recharging, and embracing desert beauty. Just five minutes from Giant Rock, Goat Mountain, the Integratron, and the beloved La Copine, and only 15 minutes to Joshua Tree National Park—this special property is a true desert gem.

PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP shines through inside and out in this charming 2 bedroom home on 2.5 acres. Situated centrally in Landers, the home is positioned perfectly to enjoy remarkable views of nearby Goat Mountain right from your front porch. Step inside and you'll be greeted by the welcoming living room featuring a new cast iron wood stove to stay cozy on those winter nights. The large kitchen is a cook's dream with plenty of space to get creative, newer appliances and floating shelves. The main bedroom is large enough to fit a king size bed comfortably, and the second bedroom works perfectly as an office or guest bedroom. This home has been lovingly maintained, and all the major components have been recently tended to, including a new roof, new septic system, new exterior paint, dual pane windows, water heater, durable wood-look flooring and new ceiling fans. The detached 2 car garage sits next to the home, separated by a patio area covered by shade sails. The garage is a perfect size for your desert toys, or convert it to a guest house - it already has plumbing and electrical! The 2.5 acre lot is fully fenced and gated, and dotted with mature trees on a dual-zone irrigation system. Enjoy a quiet night stargazing by the backyard fire pit, cozy up under the pergola or explore the area shops, restaurants and hiking trails! Easy 5 minute drive to La Copine, Giant Rock Meeting Room and the Integratron, 10 minutes to hiking trails, 15 minutes to Yucca Valley and 20 minutes to Joshua Tree, make this your perfect home base - there is so much to do from this one of a kind property.
