More Insights

Built in 1980 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1980, the property has seen some recent functional updates, including the addition of mini-split AC/heating units, new wood-look tile flooring in main areas, and a reconfigured layout with an added bedroom and laundry. However, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, older appliances (black range, white refrigerator), and basic countertops, aligning with the 'quaint' description. While the property is maintained and has some modern systems, the overall style of the kitchen and likely the single bathroom are outdated, requiring minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards.

About this home

This Hidden Canyon Retreat is truly one-of-a-kind and offers the best in privacy and seclusion! The security gated entrance opens on a private, meandering road to this 2-bedroom, 1 bath house nestled in its own private canyon with beautiful views of rock formations and natural vegetation. The property is surrounded entirely by Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, so the 5-acre parcel feels a hundred acres. A private mountain with hiking trail stops at a bench at the top overlooking the entire valley. The house with quaint kitchen and spacious living area was recently partially redone re-configuring the original single bedroom and adding a second bedroom with large windows and a laundry room. Mini splits have been added to both bedrooms and the living room for AC and heat along with the original wood stove in the living room. Don't miss the insulated, easy access attic that could be used as an additional sleeping area, playroom or studio. A newer detached double garage with carport is set with plumbing and electrical. Everyone will love the expansive playground with swings, slide, monkey bars and climbing structure too! This get-a-way is located just minutes from the Johnson Valley OHV recreation area, and the annual King of the Hammers. All day dirt bike and quad riding from your front yard adds to the fun. Located 30 mins from Yucca Valley and beyond to Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, and other desert locations. Seller may carry! Call for more information.
