PRICED TO SELL, BELOW APPRAISED VALUE! Welcome to your high-desert sanctuary in Morongo Valley—an expansive 10-acre compound featuring two distinct homes surrounded by breathtaking mountain vistas and wide-open skies. Perfect for multi-family living, vacation rental, or personal escape, this property offers both vintage charm and modern comfort. The first home is a classic 50s desert gem, full of original character and warmth. With just over 1,300 sq feet, 2 bedrooms and 1 bath and its own garage. This single-story home captures the spirit of early desert living with cozy interiors and sweeping views. The second home, with nearly 2,700 sq feet—is a newer constructed modern barn by post &#38' beam artisans Timberpeg—and is a true showstopper. This thoughtfully designed two-story residence features 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a spacious loft with 2 additional sleeping areas (can be easily made into 3 bedrooms by converting mudroom). The primary suite boasts French doors that open to a serene patio, plus has a private en-suite bath. The guest bedroom has private access to the second full bath, and upstairs, two more beautifully appointed sleeping lofts—one with a queen bed and one with two kings—offering flexible accommodations for your guests. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas are all located downstairs with Saltillo tiles throughout. This modern barn, sold fully furnished, has proven its appeal as a successful Airbnb property, consistently attracting visitors and earning recognition as a top 5% guest favorite—a testament to its thoughtful design, comfort, and unique desert setting. All while being on city water and having natural gas, a rare and cost-saving amenity. Outdoors, the magic continues, the property backs up to protected wilderness. Gather around the fire pit under star-streaked skies, unwind in the bubbling hot tub, or explore the wide-open desert landscape—all from the privacy of your own 10-acre slice of the Mojave. There is also a stand-alone garage, which could easily be converted into an office, artist or music studio. Whether you’re hosting friends, recharging in solitude, or looking to invest in an income property, this retreat is a rare find. Morongo Valley, with its higher elevation and cooler temps is gateway to the high desert, only a short drive to Joshua Tree, Pioneertown, and Palm Springs, yet worlds away from the noise—this retreat invites you to live with intention, style and space.
