Desert Sanctuary: 16-Acre Private Estate in Joshua Tree. Nestled midway between Joshua Tree town and the west entrance to the National Park lies a rare offering: 16 fully-fenced acres of pristine desert landscape with complete privacy. The thoughtfully positioned 2,733 sq ft residence sits at the heart of the property, providing uninterrupted 360 views of the surrounding wilderness. The main house features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, with the central living space defined by a striking hexagonal ceiling that draws natural light through strategically placed windows and skylights. A dramatic doorway opens directly to the landscape, blurring the boundary between interior comfort and desert beauty. The property offers practical amenities that enhance both work and leisure: a 4-car attached garage, additional detached storage, paid solar panels, and reliable connectivity via a private microwave internet tower and Starlink service. For guests or retreat space, an authentic hand-carved Mongolian yurt provides a luxurious glamping experience, complete with electricity, climate control, and custom furnishings. The outdoor living area includes a private bathroom with heated toilet seat, hot water shower under the sky, and a cedar hot tub for stargazing. The landscape showcases approximately 100 Joshua trees among the Mojave’s iconic flora – sculptural boulders and native plants create natural privacy, while providing habitat for desert wildlife. Residents regularly spot bobcats, roadrunners, desert tortoises, coyotes, and soaring hawks across the property. This sanctuary offers the perfect balance: proximity to Joshua Tree National Park’s wonders, yet secluded enough to provide true tranquility and connection with the desert’s timeless beauty.
