Now, the adjacent 4.6-acre parcel is included in the purchase price, bringing the total offering to approximately 9.6 acres and creating an exceptional sense of space, privacy, and possibility. The main home is a thoughtfully updated 1-bedroom, 1-bath with just over 1,000 square feet, designed to frame the landscape from every room. Enter through custom iron doors by Pinky’s into a welcoming space that blends craftsmanship with comfort. The kitchen is a dream for anyone who loves to cook, featuring a Viking range and walk-in pantry. A wood-burning stove anchors the living room, creating a cozy place to unwind on cool desert evenings. The bathroom has been recently refreshed with modern fixtures, and the home has been newly painted throughout.

Just off the main house is a studio currently used as a second bedroom, along with a finished two-car garage that offers excellent storage or creative space.

With an open-concept layout, full bathroom, and kitchenette, it’s ideal for guests or a dedicated work-from-home retreat. The exterior has been repainted, and the home feels fresh and serene.

Furnishings may be negotiated with some exceptions. Despite its sense of seclusion, the property is easily accessible—just 7–8 minutes down a well-maintained dirt road, 20 minutes to Yucca Valley, and 15 minutes to Pappy & Harriet’s. Nearly 10 acres, two homes, dramatic rock formations, mature Joshua Trees, and unforgettable views make this a rare desert compound with room to roam, create, preserve, or simply unplug.
