6221 Valley View Street, Joshua Tree, California 92252

Welcome to the quintessential Joshua Tree artist’s haven, meticulously crafted by a local architect and within walking distance to downtown Joshua Tree with its bohemian shops, eclectic boutiques, and restaurants. This fully restored 1953 mid-century modern sanctuary intertwines rustic charm with contemporary elegance, featuring beamed ceilings, polished concrete floors, an entry garden room, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in sofa, and a rustic kitchen with a vintage-inspired breakfast nook, perfect for relaxed desert mornings. Formerly home to the Hi-Desert Star photographer in the 1960s, the property boasts an art studio that once served as his darkroom. This space is now a unique creative studio, ideal for artistic pursuits. Featured in Joshua Tree Voice, the home has a rich history, having hosted over a dozen poetry readings with more than 50 artists and hundreds of guests over two years. The property also retains its equestrian heritage, with some original horse leatherwork still found in one of the garages. Outside, your private spa beckons, flanked by a fence adorned with custom exterior-grade wallpaper as if floating amidst the ocean’s tides. Relax in the hot tub and enjoy stargazing under the vast desert sky. The nearly 3-acre property includes a wildlife corridor on the north side, where animals by wing and paw pass by, offering a serene connection to nature. With unique zoning (JT-RM), the property offers a variety of development opportunities (buyer to verify), including multiple dwellings, parks, playgrounds, places of worship, childcare, and residential care facilities. Two detached garages provide versatile space for artistic endeavors or entrepreneurial ventures. Embrace the tranquility of desert living, where every corner holds a secret and every horizon whispers of possibility. This isn’t merely a home—it’s a canvas for your wildest imaginings, a sanctuary for the soul amidst the boundless beauty of Joshua Tree.
