2 UNIQUE HOMES on 7 Acres - both are Short term rentals. A unique proven, cash-flowing ($203K revenue) STR hospitality compound in the Joshua Tree desert. Approx 10% CAP. Perfect for 1031 or BONUS DEPRECIATION. Set on 7+ acres just 2.5 miles from Downtown Joshua Tree & 8 miles fr National Park West Entrance, this offering includes 2 architecturally distinctive hangar-style homes: Moon themed "Desert Moon" and spaceship themed "Starship Base", both new builds (2021/2023) operating as top-rated short-term rentals w/ $203,000 in trailing-year revenue, approx $132,000 net operating profit. Each hangar is approx 1160 sqft 2/2B, 20 ft ceiling, dramatic 15 ft window walls framing desert/mountain views, two king ensuite bedrooms, immersive themed interiors, custom space pods and stargazing lofts, fully fenced private backyards with hot tubs, seasonal above-ground pools, propane fire pits, and outdoor dining.
