This meticulously restored 1957 home is a historic Pipes Canyon icon, perched on a knoll amidst five acres of untouched wilderness and enchantingly weathered boulders, that blend the home's mid-century California modernism with your contemporary high desert lifestyle. The home was completely remodeled in 2023 and attention was thoughtfully given to every detail. The interior offers a unique experience in textures, design and comfort featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a den that can be used as an office, a getaway space or a third sleeping area. The kitchen has custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and imported British terrazzo counters and a well designed laundry pantry tucked away where one would never suspect. Kitchen and dining have perfectly positioned windows and doors that open to an expansive flagstone patio overlooking the beautiful terrazzo tiled pool and spa. This intimate canvas of contemporary living is meticulously curated for those who appreciate the elegance of design and many seating areas that allow you to move with the sun. The pool is surrounded by a lounge area and relaxing options that capture the majestic views. Just above the pool is a patio and a propane fire-pit area surrounded by native plants. There is a BBQ area and a covered outdoor lounge area for days spent in the sun. There is a separate two car garage, a Tesla charger and Starlink internet. The property borders hundreds of acres of the Mojave Land Trust and the Sand to Snow National Monument. Affectionately named "Horse Around, " as Pipes Canyon was always the premiere ranch area, one feels like you own your corner of Joshua Tree National Park – just for you to explore. Not fussy, just perfect. Five minutes to Pappy & Harriet's, fifteen minutes to Yucca Valley' Hwy. 62 shopping areas. Home is currently a very successful vacation rental.
Original mid-century cabin on five acres of boulder-studded property. Cabin is in original condition. Water is hauled-in and septic may be original.
