Description

This FULLY FURNISHED 3-bedroom, 2-bath rustic-modern compound rests on 3.51 acres in scenic Joshua Tree. Set on the mesa and fully fenced for privacy, the property offers sweeping views of the surrounding hills and mountains along with a tranquil desert atmosphere. Thoughtfully renovated, the home features polished concrete floors, white wood-paneled walls, skylights, and sliding glass doors in the bedrooms that fill the interiors with natural light. The open-concept kitchen, ideal for entertaining, includes a large island, sleek black cabinetry and fixtures, granite countertops, and a tile backsplash. The adjoining living area with large slider overlooking the backyard is enhanced by vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Both bathrooms have been stylishly updated with tiled walk-in showers and contemporary lighting. Comfort and efficiency are ensured with Mitsubishi mini splits, upgraded electrical, a new water heater, and full gutters. Outside, a generous covered patio invites relaxation and gatherings, accented with rattan light fixtures and black-and-white Aztec tile at the entry and steps. A detached cedar shed with a covered porch, dedicated power, vinyl flooring, extra fridge, and lighting offers versatile use as an art studio, office, or yoga space. The property also includes an RV electrical hookup, ample parking, and a Tuff Shed for added storage. The L-shaped lot features paved road frontage and a side gate off Shifting Sands Trail—perfect for a potential second dwelling with private access. Outdoor highlights include two water meters, a pool with custom wood decking, a hammock circle, and mature, drought-tolerant landscaping with olive, acacia, pepper, and palo verde trees, as well as agave and cacti. Freshly graded trails at the rear provide a great way to explore the land by foot or even on horseback. Located just 15 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, under 10 minutes to downtown, and less than 5 minutes from the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Art Museum, this one-of-a-kind desert retreat offers a rare blend of style, space, and location.
