About this home

Set on 2.5 fully fenced acres adjacent to BLM land, this private single-family cabin offers open views, quiet surroundings, and a thoughtfully updated desert retreat. The 600-square-foot interior features concrete floors, newer appliances, and a light-filled kitchen with skylight. A recently installed modern Jøtul woodstove provides warmth and comfort on chilly desert evenings. Sliding glass doors open to a covered patio, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow and a welcoming space to enjoy the surrounding landscape. A fully insulated 110-square-foot shed adds flexible space for storage, studio use, or a workshop. Cactus plantings complement the natural setting, while minimal light pollution allows for clear, star-filled night skies. Private, peaceful, and efficient, this single-family residence is well suited for full-time living, a second home, or a quiet desert getaway with space, views, and privacy--all while being 15 minutes from the restaurants and hip shops of downtown and Joshua Tree National Park.
