This is a nostalgic 2 Bedroom 1 Bath desert cottage home with A frame front entry, boasting classic 70s scrolled fascia trim. Perfect Joshua Tree project home. Great bones and unique design with tons of character. Sitting on 2.5 prime acres of Joshua Tree land, this is not your average box home. The home has updated dual pane windows, a full kitchen and dining area, living room, full bathroom, and 2 good size bedrooms. There is also an additional sunroom that has been partially enclosed, and acts as a breezeway between the garage and the home. 2 car garage with new roll up garage door. All electric home with a 2500-gallon water storage tank. The home sits inside of a fenced area of the property for privacy and security. The home at once time was running as a successful Hip Camp, and as such has multiple picnic/camping locations throughout the property for a fun and relaxing atmosphere. You can imagine yourself gazing into the star filled sky while sitting by a cozy fire in the evenings, after a long day exploring Joshua Tree National Park. There are 360-degree views, but the most notable are the back side of the boulder mountains of Joshua Tree National Park. If you have been waiting for the perfect private location in Joshua Tree to call your own wait no longer. Do not let this fantastic opportunity pass you by like a desert breeze!
