Recently remodeled, the home features modern updates to the bathrooms, lighting, appliances, and HVAC systems, all while preserving the stunning stonework and wood details that define mid-century desert architecture.

Step outside any of the buildings to experience the magic of the desert. This property is lush with native juniper, pine, Joshua trees, and agave, providing a truly immersive desert experience. The outdoor amenities—hot tub, cowboy pool, and fire pit—are perfect for stargazing, relaxing, or entertaining guests.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
