Originally built in 1959, the residence offers approximately 1,740 square feet of living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Rich in character and authenticity, the home retains its original vintage décor and architectural charm, making it a genuine one-of-a-kind desert getaway. Expansive concrete patios surround the residence, providing multiple outdoor living and entertaining areas, while a hot tub offers the perfect place to relax beneath Joshua Tree’s world-famous dark night skies. Adding to the property’s appeal is a detached guest outpost featuring a classic Airstream trailer and private patio area. This unique space functions as an ideal guest retreat, artist studio, creative workspace, or ADU-style accommodation for visitors seeking an authentic high-desert experience. The combination of vintage architecture, extensive acreage, adjacent parcel ownership, bordering public lands, and unique guest accommodations creates an exceptionally rare offering in one of Joshua Tree’s most sought-after locations.
