About this home
A RARE 29 WEST HILLTOP RETREAT | TWO 5-ACRE PARCELS | 10 ACRES | ONE HOME + ONE CABIN. Perched on a private desert knoll in the sought-after Desert Heights area of Twentynine Palms, this unique property offers 10 acres of wide-open desert, breathtaking panoramic views, and exceptional privacy. Offered as two separate 5-acre parcels, the property features a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath mid-century home and a detached recreational cabin on the adjoining parcel, creating a rare opportunity for a private desert compound. Built in 1958, the main residence celebrates classic High Desert architecture with original block construction, cantilevered windows, and a beautiful flagstone fireplace, complemented by thoughtful modern updates. Warm, inviting, and full of character, this intimate desert hideaway embraces the simplicity of desert living. The real magic is outside. Elevated above the surrounding landscape and bordering BLM-managed public land, the property captures sweeping views of rugged mountains, dramatic rock formations, and endless open desert. Enjoy spectacular sunrises, colorful sunsets, extraordinary stargazing, and the peaceful solitude that makes this part of the High Desert so special. The second 5-acre parcel features a separate insulated recreational cabin with finished interior walls and windows, offering versatile flex space ideal for an artist's studio, creative workspace, writing retreat, meditation studio, or simply a peaceful place to unwind and take in the desert views. Whether envisioned as a weekend escape, second home, artist retreat, or private desert compound, the two-parcel configuration offers space, privacy, and potential. Tucked away in a peaceful desert setting yet conveniently located near Mas o Menos, the 49 Palms Oasis hiking trail, Indian Cove in Joshua Tree National Park, and downtown Joshua Tree. Opportunities to own two separate 5-acre parcels with this kind of elevation, privacy, and panoramic scenery are increasingly hard to find. Come experience the views, explore the possibilities, and discover what makes this desert retreat so special.
* * * Back on the market because buyer couldn't perform * * * You really feel like you own it all with this unprecedented 138 acre property in the Desert Heights neighborhood, where you have solitude all the while being minutes from amenities! A single family residence greets you on this amazing 133 acre parcel with city water and power and RV hookups. Then you get a bonus adjoining 5 acre parcel with a fabulous cabin (with utilities) all boasting 360 degree views of the amazing desert scape of black boulders, mountains, and miles of trails to the west that could make for a wonderful new home location or a secluded private retreat. The pristine single family residence has modern touches, but all of it's original character has been preserved from the cinderblock exterior walls to the cantilevered windows to the flagstone fireplace, alongside the granite countertops and stainless steel appliances in the galley kitchen, and the tile floors throughout. Step outside on the porch where you have unobstructed panoramic views to the east, with privacy fencing separating the house and the cabin, or travel a little further to lounge by the fire pit to stargaze. Don't pass on the once in a lifetime opportunity to own an exceptional property like this!
