Set on 2.5 acres just minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance, this property offers a rare combination: a move-in-ready renovated cabin today, plus a fully designed path to a brand-new second residence tomorrow. The existing cabin has been completely renovated with permits. New electrical service and panel, copper plumbing, roof, windows and doors, ductless mini-split heating and cooling, a remodeled kitchen and bath, and warm tongue-and-groove pine interiors throughout. It's quiet, private, and in solid condition from day one, with mountain views and an easy reach to downtown Joshua Tree. What sets this property apart is what comes with it: a complete, fully engineered architectural package from Wolfgang Pichler Design for a new 1,925-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 3-bath main residence designed around an open kitchen and living area, a primary suite with walk-in closet, a multifunctional family room, and a striking see-through fireplace anchoring an atrium/patio space. Exterior finishes (stucco, steel-framed glass, stone accents) and interior material selections are already worked out, and site/permitting groundwork has been done as well (buyer to verify current status and any extension requirements with the county) so a buyer looking to build isn't starting from zero. The lot's zoning supports the additional residence for a buyer ready to take that on, while the existing cabin works well entirely on its own in the meantime whether as a primary residence, guest house, or income-producing unit.
