Built in 1961 (64 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1961, the property has undergone significant recent updates that enhance its livability and functionality. The description notes 'recently had 2 bedrooms added' and the installation of modern 'mini splits in both bedrooms and the living room for AC and heat,' which are major system upgrades. The images show updated wood-look tile flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms.

About this home

Welcome to the Joshua Tree Hideout. This truly unique property is one-of-a-kind and offers the ultimate in privacy and seclusion, and it's being sold furnished! After passing through the gate to your private road, you will round the mountain and find this 2-bedroom house with detached garage shining from the hilltop in its own private canyon surrounded by 360-degree views. The property is surrounded entirely by Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, meaning it won't be built on, so the 5-acre parcel feels like you are living on 100+ acres. There is a private mountain on the property with a hiking trail to a bench at the top with a lookout point to take it all in. The property recently had 2 bedrooms added to it, as well as a detached 2-car garage with an additional carport. There are mini splits in both bedrooms and the living room for AC and heat. The garage has plumbing and electrical going to it, making it easily converted to an additional living space, or you can add a bathroom to your man cave. There is an insulated attic that could be used in so many ways, including an artist studio or additional sleeping space when you have larger family gatherings. And bring the kids to enjoy this built-in playground! If you are into off-road activities, this is located just minutes from the Johnson Valley OHV recreation area, home of King of the Hammers, or if you are feeling more adventurous you can take your dirt bikes and quads all the way to Big Bear from here. With a nearby airport less than a mile away, you can easily come enjoy the beauty and serenity the desert is so loved for.
