This lovely, recently remodeled 1 bathroom cabin has been finely appointed with the latest and is ready and waiting to become your personal headquarters for hi-desert adventure! Nestled on 5 serene acres in peaceful Wonder Valley, panoramic views surround you here from all sides, stretching from Joshua Tree National Park in the west to Mojave Trails National Monument in the north, yet the property is still easily accessible off paved Amboy Road. You'll be pleased to know that the cabin is surrounded by government land, preserving the views which you can enjoy from the large covered porch in the fenced yard. As you step inside the cabin, you'll love the attention to detail that has been lavished on the space. Stained concrete floors flow throughout the home, and enjoy a cool decorative two-tone finish. A mini-split provides perfect zoned heating and cooling, while a convenient Murphy bed provides a queen sized sleeping space. You'll be pleased to know that Starlink internet is currently installed on the property and can remain with a transfer as well. The kitchen space has been nicely updated with retro style cabinets and has an electric stove and refrigerator. Meanwhile, the bathroom is nicely sized and features a full walk-in shower with extensive tile work. Surrounded by amazing recreation opportunities, yet still just 15 minutes to all the conveniences of 29 Palms, this great property won't be on the market long, so book a showing to see this wonder for yourself. CASH ONLY because this is a recreational cabin, owner will not carry. Property is on hauled water.
