The home is located in the heart of Joshua Tree — just 8 minutes from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and walkable to the town's beloved coffee shops, galleries, restaurants, and boutiques. The area is renowned for its dramatic desert landscape, world-class rock climbing, and some of the darkest, most star-filled skies in Southern California. Nearby highlights include Pioneertown, the legendary Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace, Cholla Cactus Garden, and Skull Rock. Whether you're hiking at sunrise, exploring local art, or simply unwinding under the stars, Joshua Tree is a destination unlike anywhere else.
Getting Around:
PARKING:
On-site parking only — street parking is not permitted by San Bernardino County. Please keep all vehicles in designated driveway spaces to avoid tickets, fines, or towing.
GETTING AROUND:
The property is located in Joshua Tree, approximately 2.5 hours east of Los Angeles via the I-10. Palm Springs is about 45 minutes west. The west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park is 8 minutes away. The town of Joshua Tree (Natural Sisters Café, Crossroads Café, local galleries) is walkable or a very short drive. Note: rideshare is very limited in the desert — a rental car is strongly recommended for exploring the national park and surrounding area.
