The last home before the trailhead to the iconic 49 Palms Oasis, this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 3-bath architecturally distinctive desert retreat sits on 5 private acres bordering Joshua Tree National Park. Surrounded by dramatic boulder formations, mature desert landscaping, and abundant wildlife—including bighorn sheep, quail, chuckwalla, and countless species of desert birds—this extensively remodeled home offers a rare opportunity to experience the Mojave at its most spectacular while enjoying the comforts of contemporary luxury. Despite its remarkably private setting, the home offers easy access from the highway with paved roads leading all the way to the property.

Every detail has been thoughtfully updated in a down-to-the-studs renovation, featuring a smooth stucco exterior, polished concrete flooring throughout the main living area, as well as custom cabinetry and terrazzo quartz countertops in both the kitchen and bathrooms. The beautifully appointed kitchen includes KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a dining nook, and direct access to the patio. This home isn't just beautiful—it also has the behind-the-scenes upgrades buyers appreciate, including a whole-house water filtration system, oversized water heater, EV charger, dual-zone York HVAC systems, mini-splits upstairs and in the garage, custom blinds, generous closet space, a gas fireplace, and a stainless steel washer and dryer.

The spacious primary suite is designed for relaxation with a luxurious soaking tub, beautifully finished walk-in shower, and access to a private courtyard enclosed by smooth stucco walls with a custom iron gate and blooming white oleander. Upstairs, a versatile studio provides the perfect space for an art studio, home office, fitness room, or guest retreat, while the adjoining view deck captures unforgettable sunsets stretching across Joshua Tree National Park.

Outside, resort-style amenities include a saltwater pool and spa with an automatic cover, a pergola with automatic shades and a misting system, an outdoor shower, and beautifully established irrigated landscaping featuring a fruit-bearing fig tree, palms, acacia, bougainvillea, oleander, and mature cacti. Equally suited as a full-time residence, luxurious desert getaway, or sought-after vacation rental, this one-of-a-kind property offers exceptional privacy, sophisticated design, and direct access to one of the Mojave Desert's most treasured landscapes.
