Description

Nature Lover's Sanctuary - incredible and rare opportunity to own a slice of desert heaven very close to the boundaries of the national park. Nestled deep within the Joshua Tree Highlands neighborhood, tucked away and buffered from all the noise of Quail Springs Road and Hwy 62, yet only a 12 min drive to downtown and a 10 min drive to the park. This 2.1 acre property boasts 2 independent houses set against the striking backdrop of a lush desert mountainscape, at a sweet spot of elevation where there are both Joshua Trees and pinon pines in addition to a large variety of gorgeous native vegetation. Animals, birds, reptiles, they're all here. Both houses are modern in style with high ceilings and breathtaking views - the 1200SF main house (built 2010) has been stripped down to its well-built 2x8 bones and is ready for your creative vision. The 400SF guest house (built 2014) is perched in what may be the best spot on the property, a true retreat with huge sliding glass doors to take in what feels like your own private nature preserve. Multiple outdoor patios and decks, shade from a huge mesquite tree at the center of the property, a newly built water feature, adorable outdoor showers - this property is the perfect blend of manicured where you want it and still wild everywhere else. No poisons or chemicals are used on the property, and the new owner will need to commit to this in order to support and nurture the wild that is here. This land is in natures domain and we must remember the proper pecking order so its still here for generations to come. This is a very special, magical place, with beauty everywhere you look. Exquisite peace and stillness await you.
