This unbelievable 2 bedroom, 2 bath home in the beautiful Juniper Terrace area of Yucca Valley is the kind of find that rarely comes on the market. This property would be perfect for an artist or other creative person who is looking for a peaceful desert home to serve as an inspiring retreat. A short distance from pavement and minutes from the heart of Yucca Valley, you'll be stunned at just how secluded it is here. The land is blessed with a lush desert woodland of Joshua trees and junipers, which mingle seamlessly with the mature landscaping to envelope you in a sense of natural serenity. Epic mountain views frame the horizons on all sides. A patio with shade ramada and full length covered porch invite you to relax and enjoy the views. The huge banks of windows the house enjoys are well protected by automatic power shutters which can be raised and lowered electronically. As you step inside the home, you'll be struck by the unique creative details found throughout. The retro vibes of the home's original construction have been lovingly preserved, including warm wood paneling, gorgeous wood beamed ceilings and lots of built-in storage found throughout. The kitchen features tile countertops, beautiful rustic wood cabinetry, wall-mounted oven and electric cooktop. Terracotta saltillo tiles lead you on to the spacious living room, where you'll encounter huge picture windows to bring the beautiful views inside, and a large sunken fireplace (recently serviced!) with impressive stone hearth. Custom doors are found throughout the home, including the beautifully carved and painted doorway that leads you into the first bedroom. Here you'll find French doors leading to the back patio, and an attached bath with large tile shower. A nicely sized bonus room also has French doors to the patio. Moving on, you'll note the indoor laundry room that also has outdoor access. The second bedroom has French doors again, along with large windows, a walk-in closet and attached bath with sunken tub and corrugated metal walls. Once you've finished inside, step outside to explore the backyard. In addition to a large patio with great views, you'll find a custom pond (functions with a pump and timer), more beautiful landscaping and native plants, a rustic outbuilding, shade structures and trellises, and a detached 1 car garage.
