Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1951, the property is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen features older tile countertops and cabinetry (>20 years), and the presence of window AC units suggests older climate control systems. While functional and charming, it requires modernization of systems and finishes to meet current standards.

The property features a main home plus a detached second residence with its own address and private entrance, offering exceptional potential for short-term rental income, a creative retreat, or multi-generational living.
Perfectly situated in the heart of Joshua Tree Village, the estate provides walking access to local shops, galleries, and the farmers market while remaining just minutes from the National Park entrance.

Welcome to your own Hi-Desert Hacienda, a rare two-home Joshua Tree estate located right in the heart of the Village. Blending timeless character, peaceful desert living, mountain views, and flexible investment potential, this property captures the lifestyle that makes Joshua Tree so special. The main home was thoughtfully elevated and positioned to take advantage of sweeping, unobstructed views from the living room, dining area, and kitchen. Inside, Spanish pavers, natural light, and a warm open-concept layout create a space that feels both grounded and inspiring. The home offers two bedrooms, a main bathroom, and a spacious great room that opens to the backyard patio, perfect for slow mornings, creative work, meditation, reading, entertaining, or unwinding after a day in the National Park. The outdoor setting is where the magic of Joshua Tree living really comes alive. Enjoy quiet sunrises, afternoon shade, dramatic full moon rises, stargazing, and Eastern views toward the Joshua Tree National Park mountain range. The expansive backyard gives the next owner room to dream, with space for outdoor dining, fire pits, gardens, creative studios, wellness spaces, or additional entertainment areas. Just beyond the main home is the detached mini-hacienda, a second residence with its own address, private entrance, separate driveway/parking, living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, backyard access, covered patio, and utility/storage room with laundry hookups. Whether used for guests, multigenerational living, a creative retreat, long-term rental income, or short-term rental potential, the flexibility here is hard to find. Take a morning walk to Coyote Hole Canyon, stroll into the Village for the farmers market, shops, restaurants, and galleries, then be inside Joshua Tree National Park within minutes. This is more than a property; it is a Joshua Tree lifestyle compound with room to live, host, create, and invest.
