Welcome to 6785 Saddleback Road, in the heart of Joshua Tree. Set behind gated access on a 1.25-acre lot, this mid-century desert gem is full of character and charm--offering a rare opportunity to create a personal retreat, full-time home, or smart investment property.The main house features 1,050 square feet with one bedroom and one bathroom, highlighted by vaulted wood ceilings and vintage Spanish-inspired details that add warmth and personality to the space.Out front, a west-facing covered porch is perfect for unwinding at the end of the day while taking in stunning sunsets and the surrounding landscape. The garden is a true highlight--thoughtfully designed with a wide variety of mature cacti and native desert plants that blend beautifully with the natural terrain. The spacious backyard opens to expansive valley views, offering both a peaceful backdrop and generous, usable outdoor space.Also on the property is a detached casita/art studio with its own en-suite bathroom--ideal for guest accommodations, rental potential, or a private creative space.
