Welcome to Blue Shadows, a bespoke 1957 homesteader cabin turned single family home on 5 scenic acres in Joshua Tree. Why spend weekends battling crowds and traffic when you could be unwinding by the fire pit under a canopy of stars with sweeping views of Joshua Tree National Park as your backdrop? Don’t let the compact footprint fool you, this turnkey home packs a punch with custom finishes throughout, including polished concrete floors, Energy Star certified Milgard windows and French doors with black-out shades, custom woodwork and cabinetry, and a newer mini split for year-round ultra-efficient climate control. Surrounded by 734 square feet of shaded patio, you’ll be inspired to spend more quality time outside taking in the sunrise, reading a book, sneaking in a quick nap, basking in the desert air after a rain, or catching up with friends over sunset beverages. Once the sky has flooded with stars head over to the new 6-person spa for constellation mapping, deep conversations, or just a peaceful moment of jetted hot tub zen. A 750 sq ft Quonset Hut built in 2021 makes the perfect industrial accessory flex space to use as a guest house, studio, workshop, or garage. Remote enough to genuinely feel like you’ve escaped the chaos of the world, yet you’re still connected with city water, SCE power, high speed internet, leased propane, and weekly trash service. Lovingly adored as a special weekend getaway and successful short term rental, this low-maintenance turnkey getaway could be the perfect little dose of magic your life needs.
