Property Description
Rare opportunity: This fully restored 2,200 sq ft mid-century modern home on 3.15 private acres (5 separate lots) is TURNKEY for short-term rental income or your personal desert retreat. Located minutes from Joshua Tree National Park in an STR-approved zone, this property is ready to generate $50K-$70K in annual gross rental income--well above the $39K area average.
The home features open-concept living with authentic mid-century finishes and abundant natural light. A spacious 2-car garage includes a separate workshop/studio area--a unique amenity that appeals to artist travelers, makers, and creative professionals seeking inspiration in the high desert. Outside, 3.15 acres of privacy include 5 consolidated parcels, 3 separate driveways, mature olive trees, and a productive fruit orchard that photographs beautifully for listing photos.
Twentynine Palms STR properties average $185/night at 58% occupancy = $39K annually. This property's unique features (acreage, mature landscaping, workshop space, orchard) justify premium pricing of $275-$335/night, projecting $50K-$70K gross annual income. VHR permits are available but competitive (cap of 500 citywide, 386 issued/pending as of mid-2025).
Perfect for:
• STR investors seeking high-cash-flow desert property
• Artists/creatives wanting live-work space + rental income
• Lifestyle buyers seeking privacy + income potential
• Owner-occupants who want STR income while traveling
