266 Acres  ·  Joshua Tree, California

Scroll

A one-of-a-kind legacy property with no equals — 266 private, national-park-quality acres of idyllic desert landscape, with plans for what will become a 10,000-square-foot modern desert retreat.

A place where time slows, and where every view feels intentional, composed, and eternal. Views unfold in a sweeping, uninterrupted panorama that feels almost implausible in its scale.

The private drive climbing toward the graded homesite with valley and mountains beyond

266 acres of stillness.

This 266-acre compound shares its unique desert ecosystem with Joshua Tree National Park, which lies just two miles to the south. Distant mountain ridgelines dissolve into soft gradients of blue and silver, while valleys below drift in the morning light and glow amber at dusk. Native flora ripple in the breeze, wildflowers bloom without order or restraint, and stone outcroppings emerge naturally.

The Bartlett Mountains provide a secluded backdrop, while protected natural landscapes and minimal surrounding development preserve tranquility.

Two paths to the horizon.

Acquire the land as it stands today, or commission the architect‑designed 10,000 SF residence to be built on the graded homesite. Both begin at the same $7.5 million.

A residence in harmony with its site.

Utilities, brought in with the land.

Water, three-phase power, road, and entry gate will be installed to the graded homesite as part of the sale. The seller may allocate up to $500,000 of the proceeds into an escrow account to guarantee delivery — so the pad arrives ready to build on. All infrastructure runs underground to preserve the site's natural beauty.

Water

A dedicated underground pipeline from the Joshua Basin Water District will be brought in to the homesite, feeding two large underground storage tanks in a gravity-fed, self-contained system.

Electric

Underground three-phase power from Southern California Edison will be run to the homesite. All lines buried to preserve the natural landscape and eliminate visual clutter.

Wastewater

Independent of municipal utilities. A septic tank is negotiable as part of the sale, supporting privacy, self-sufficiency, and site preservation.
