Nestled at the edge of the Bartlett Mountains with a southern view of Joshua Tree National Park and the Eastern Mojave Desert, yet only 2 miles from JT’s quaint village, Farmer’s Market and eclectic shops and restaurants, this comfy boho cottage features best of both worlds.
Newly renovated, this 2 bed/1 bath midcentury house, sits on a fully fenced half acre, and is close to conveniences of town and safety of neighbors, but also miles of hiking trails, which are accessible just a short drive down a dirt road (Take Wren Rd to El Coyote Lane) at the rear of the property.
Sleeps 5-6 adults. Inside the main house, one bedroom has a queen bed and air conditioner; the second bedroom has a queen bed and also a futon couch that converts to a full-size bed that sleeps one adult or 2 kids, plus new swamp cooler. Wall unit for heating. There’s also a portable tower heater. Both bedrooms have a view of the Bartlett Mountains, plus, the backyard’s sprawling 400-year-old Tamarisk Tree.
The full-size, sparkling clean kitchen comes with refrigerator, electric range/oven, microwave and 4-slice toaster and is fully stocked for food prep, including spices, condiments, dishes, glassware, utensils, Calphalon pots/pans—even bakeware, plus single-serve pancake maker. A water dispenser, offers iced-cold or instant hot reverse-osmosis filtered drinking water. Slow down and enjoy the experience of making meals. Put a record on the Crosley portable turntable with bluetooth speakers and hang with friends. Pour yourself some aromatic Arabic coffee (with ginger and cardamom) and kick back bedside.
The dining nook features a sun-drenched cozy corner double-bench seating around a marble tulip table with two rattan chairs. The flagstone terrace, accessible through the dining room French doors, includes a patio sofa and two chairs (seats 5), Adirondack chairs (seats 2), picnic table, plus charcoal BBQ and stone fire pit. Enjoy a glass of wine while you take in the spectacular sunsets or look on as friends play a game of horseshoes or the kids roast marshmallows under the stars.
