About This Property

Quiet hilltop living in Joshua Tree Village! Offered fully furnished, this charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath original desert homestead pairs wide-open views with a spacious lot plus an adjoining 0.4-acre parcel included in the sale, creating a rare sense of space and future possibility. French doors open the living area to a large patio overlooking unobstructed views of the Bartlett Mountains, while protected open land across the street adds to the privacy. Inside, exposed wood beam ceilings, abundant natural light, and updated finishes give the home a warm, relaxed desert feel. Just minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park and close to downtown shops, restaurants, and local favorites, the location works beautifully as a full-time home, weekend escape, or income property. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, the property has generated approximately $20,000 in gross rental revenue since launching in late 2025, with continued bookings into 2026. The additional parcel opens the door to even more possibilities, whether expanding the outdoor experience or exploring the potential for an additional structure, subject to buyer verification and applicable requirements. Privacy, views, rental history, and extra landall in the heart of Joshua Tree.
