Perched in the wide-open landscape of Johnson Valley, this beautifully updated retreat spans five acres with sweeping desert and mountain views in every direction. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,280 sq ft with an open living and dining plan, granite kitchen counters, stainless steel appliances, tile flooring and mini-splits in every room. Both bedrooms are generously sized, with two walk-in closets in the primary suite and another in the guest room. Covered porches, an elevated view deck, fire-pit lounge and outdoor kitchen offer inviting places to gather, unwind and watch the light move across the valley. Beautiful mature trees provide welcome shade, supported by an irrigation system and exceptionally strong private well. Twenty solar panels, a 60-amp Level 2 EV charger, fiber-optic internet and full RV hookups make the property especially well equipped. Just a few parcels to the south, pristine undeveloped public land opens into countless miles of desert and mountains to hike, explore and enjoy. There is ample room for horses, toys, projects and the freedom to make the property your own, with Joshua Tree and the Big Bear mountain communities within easy reach. This is a memorable high-desert home equally suited to everyday living and weekends away.
