Two small but mighty homes on 5 Joshua Tree-studded acres on the mesa! The original 546 sq ft midcentury home has been updated to a spacious open-concept living area with finished concrete floors, Mitsubishi mini splits, a freestanding wood stove for cozy ambience, and spectacular views from every room. A covered front porch welcomes you as the perfect private spot to enjoy big sky sunsets under the backdrop of Joshua Tree National Park to the north. Inside you’ll find a newer kitchen highlighted by magic hour westward views of Pipes Canyon, a sunny bedroom accessed through a substantial rustic barn door, a secondary hidden sleeping loft, a separate dining space, a large tiled bathroom with vintage style fixtures and claw foot soaking tub, and a mudroom area with storage and laundry. A side door from the dining area opens to a large raised wooden deck showcasing the mountainous desertscape in every direction, inviting you to partake in lazy afternoon lounging, summer grilling, and spectacular stargazing. A small yard between the 2 homes features a second raised wood deck with a built-in filtered stock tank pool to keep you cool on those hot summer days. Rent the main house for an income stream while you live in the new detached bonus casita next door! Soaring ceilings with recessed lighting, new Andersen windows and walls of sliders make this guest house feel much larger than it’s 480 sq ft footprint. Ultra-modern finishes like custom electric shades you can open and close via remote without ever leaving bed, a vibey Solo Stove TerraFlame Fireplace, new mini splits for heating & cooling, and an oversized bathroom with cheerful yellow Zellige tiles and direct access to an additional outdoor shower. Seller has added over $120,000 in updates and upgrades since purchasing this home, including a large newer hot tub, updated electrical panel, Tesla charger, privacy fencing, casita conversion, and a newer septic system. Luxe living meets industrial desert chic on 5 fully fenced and gated acres could be yours, just in time to host your friends & family for the holidays!
