A Private Desert Retreat in North Joshua Tree. Charm is only the beginning. Set on 2 private acres in North Joshua Tree, this beautifully renovated residence offers a rare sense of seclusion, thoughtful design, and effortless desert living. The two-mile dirt road becomes part of the arrival-leading you beyond the ordinary and into the stillness, space, and expansive beauty of the high desert.Enclosed by a complete fence line, the property pairs privacy with thoughtful architectural character, including a Santa Barbara-inspired smooth stucco exterior and a polished, magazine-worthy aesthetic. Beyond the gates, a beautifully appointed outdoor retreat invites you to linger, with a glowing gas fireplace, outdoor jacuzzi tub, and raised shaded front porch-ideal for quiet mornings, golden-hour gatherings, and evenings beneath a canopy of stars.Inside, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,248 sq. ft. home is warm, serene, and beautifully curated. Hand-selected furnishings complement the clean, modern interiors, while a cozy gas fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere during cooler desert nights. A new air-conditioning system ensures year-round comfort.Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, the home is offered fully furnished and turnkey-equally suited to full-time living, a private weekend retreat, or continued short-term rental use. Oversized picture windows invite the ever-changing desert light indoors, framing luminous sunrises and dramatic sunsets.Additional features include city water, propane, leased solar at just $92 per month through 2036, and a convenient storage shed. Private, peaceful, and wonderfully removed from the everyday, this is a rare opportunity to slow down, settle in, and experience the extraordinary beauty of desert living.
