Joshua Tree, California 92252
This Rare Mountain-Top Retreat is listed at $599,000, offering a unique opportunity to own a private peak in the Bunker Mountains. Positioned near its $567,507 Fair Market Value, the price reflects the extreme scarcity of private mountain land in Joshua Tree. The property holds a Good Condition Rating following a complete reimagining, featuring a 5-acre site, panoramic desert views, and a private hot tub. Located in the Morongo Unified School District, this proven income-generator is perfectly suited for Short-Term Rental Investors or Lifestyle-Oriented Buyers seeking a secluded, turnkey sanctuary.
Property is move-in ready.
Despite being built in 1957, this property has been extensively 'reimagined' and renovated, as evidenced by the modern interior design, clean concrete floors, and exposed wood ceilings. The bathroom, while featuring a distinct retro mint green tile, is impeccably clean and functional, indicating a recent update rather than neglect. The description mentions a 'modern kitchen with a vintage stove,' suggesting a deliberate and functional design choice. The property is move-in ready and well-maintained, consistent with its use as a successful vacation rental, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
Perched on a peak in the Bunker Mountains, this property offers unparalleled privacy and a rare mountain-top setting in Joshua Tree, distinguishing it from most other properties.
Featuring huge windows and strategically designed outdoor spaces, the home captures expansive, forever views in every direction, including sun/moon rises and diverse natural landscapes.
With a history as a 'very successful vacation rental for years,' the property presents a strong opportunity for immediate rental income and investment return.
At only 672 square feet with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, the property's small footprint may limit its appeal to a broader market, primarily suiting individuals or couples seeking a compact getaway.
While reimagined, the 1957 build year and its origin as a converted homestead cabin could imply potential for older infrastructure or maintenance considerations not immediately apparent.
Due to its unique characteristics (small size, remote mountain-top location, specific design), the property caters to a very specific buyer demographic, potentially leading to a longer marketing period.
***RARE MOUNTAIN-TOP GETAWAY*** Perched on a peak in the Bunker Mountains, this homestead cabin was converted to a single-family residence and reimagined with sensible design and touches of flair. It is only a few minutes to downtown Joshua Tree and has been a very successful vacation rental for years. It would also make an amazing private getaway home. The 5-acre site is at the top of a mountain with hiking all around the site. Mountain top property is extremely rare in Joshua Tree, as most of the mountains are government owned. The interior features an open floor plan with a sleeping nook, a sitting area, a modern kitchen with a vintage stove, and a large dining or work table. Huge widows on all sides capture forever views in every direction, including sun and moon rises over Copper Mountain. The exterior patios offer sun or shade with hand-made rock walls, planters and pathways that lead to separate lounging areas, all with amazing views. A pathway of round stepping stones leads to the hot tub. Sitting in the hot tub makes you feel like you’re floating in the sky. This home is truly special!
