    What's special

    Nestled in the prestigious Joshua Tree Highlands, this custom-built Pueblo-style home is as charming as they come. Built in 2004 yet reminiscent of an original adobe, 8485 Star Lane features a detached studio and sits on a serene 1.25-acre lot, just minutes from the Joshua Tree Park entrance. Step through the gates into a lush courtyard connecting the main house and studio--a garden oasis with fruit trees, flowers, herbs, and vegetables--such as Meyer lemons, olives, rosemary, and lavender--growing alongside native cacti, and a fish pond. Three covered patios provide peaceful spots to soak in the natural beauty. The one-bed, one-bath main house opens into a spacious living and dining area with concrete floors and custom woodwork. The kitchen is filled with natural light and boasts handmade cabinetry, open shelving, and a breakfast bar. The bedroom features French doors leading to an outdoor bathtub and shower nestled among boulders, offering a serene connection to the surrounding landscape. The property includes a permitted studio attached to the garage with a kitchenette and bathroom. The garage is currently used as an open living space but can be easily reverted if desired. Whether you seek a peaceful retreat, a rental opportunity, or plan to live in one home and rent the other, this property is a true desert gem. Can come partially furnished and ready to move right in to start enjoying the magic of the high desert.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
