About this home

JOSHUA TREE HIGHLANDS DESERT SANCTUARY! This stylish 2-bedroom, 2-bath retreat sits on 2.5 glorious acres in one of Joshua Tree's most desirable neighborhoods. Surrounded by magnificent mountain views, mature desert vegetation and remarkable tranquility, the property feels a world apart. Wrapped in natural splendor, this showplace is walking distance to the 955-acre Quail Mountain Preserve and a quick hop to Joshua Tree National Park. Inside, the home is bright, airy and full of personality, with clean architectural lines, concrete floors and expansive windows that bring the surrounding landscape into nearly every room. The fabulous main living and dining area features exposed ceiling beams and a hip, sculptural Malm fireplace. Walls of glass frame the mountains and open onto a sunny patio, creating a wonderful flow between indoors and out. This inviting gathering space offers ample room to entertain or simply stretch out and enjoy the scenery. A spacious lounge offers another comfortable place to relax, with French doors opening to the outdoors and a breakfast bar connecting it to the cheerful kitchen, where pale green cabinetry lends a playful retro touch. Two bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, while the primary bath offers a double vanity, Jacuzzi soaking tub and separate steam shower. Two evaporative coolers keep the house comfortable. Outside, the property is a desert lover's paradise. Towering palo verdes, pines, ocotillos, prickly pear, agaves, and mature native vegetation create an enchanting landscape that feels wonderfully wild and alive. Multiple patios and seating areas invite you to follow the sun throughout the day, from morning coffee beneath a leafy desert tree to sunset cocktails against a backdrop of rugged mountains. A bubbling spa, outdoor shower and fire pit add to the pleasures of desert living. Offered furnished with appliances included, the property currently operates as a short-term rental. Whether you're seeking a full-time home, weekend escape or desert getaway to share with guests, this is a special place to slow down, breathe deeply and immerse yourself in the extraordinary beauty of Joshua Tree. Come experience it for yourself!
