Sited on a knoll overlooking expanses of desert, this open floor plan features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a 2-car garage. A concrete drive approach elevates through the natural desert flora and fauna of the nearly ½ acre lot. Inside, the expansive entry foyer sets a grand tone for the space and spatially unites the living areas, the secondary bedrooms, and the primary suite – all thoughtfully positioned for optimal privacy and enjoyment of the surrounding desert views. The snowcapped peaks of the San Gorgonio mountains to the west, and the Joshua Tree National Park to the south. A Chef’s kitchen with granite counter tops, large peninsula with bar seating, and stainless-steel appliances is the focal point of the common areas. Adjacent to the kitchen, the family room is well appointed with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace with ceramic tile surround, and recessed lighting. The primary suite, located in the rear of the home, provides a generously sized bedroom and ensuite bath, along with a walk-in closet and sweeping views of the desert. A flex space at the rear of the home opens to the iconic desert landscape the region has become known for. This location offers the luxury of being able to step directly into desert recreation while simultaneously being minutes away from the Joshua Tree Retreat Center (4 mins.), Joshua Tree Visitor Center (7 mins.), and Joshua Tree National Park (W. Entrance – 20 mins). This Yucca Valley home is a unique combination of remote tranquility with suburban convenience; take a look today.
