This is the Mojave Desert at its most spectacular. And for your stay, it`s all yours.

NEIGHBORHOOD INFO:

The Mojave Stargazer is located in the Flamingo Heights quarter of Yucca Valley, a quiet enclave only 10-15 min by car from the town of Yucca Valley, 25 min to the Joshua Tree National Park entrance, 15 min to historic Pioneertown, and just 1 hour to Big Bear Lake and Palm Springs. The area is one of the few neighborhoods remaining in the High Desert with large lots bordering National Park land, making the properties around us unique, private and boasting breathtaking views. The sunsets behind Mount Gorgonio and the sunrises over the horizon of Homestead Valley Canyon will make you feel reenergized and deeply relaxed.

Please note that this home is accessible by dirt road, which is common in the Yucca Valley area.

The best way to get around in the High Desert is by car. The closest restaurants and convenience stores are all just a 5 min drive away, and the home is only 15 minutes from the town of Yucca Valley and everything on Highway 62 (Twentynine Palms Hwy), which offers many grocery stores, restaurants and unique shops. It is only an hour drive to Palm Springs or Big Bear Lake.

We are also close to many extraordinary hikes in the area, and perfectly situated for visiting Joshua Tree Park, Sand to Snow Monument, Indian Cove and all the Mojave Desert has to offer.

Even though the house is at the end of a dirt/sand road, you DO NOT need a 4X4 vehicle to access the house. However, we are located in the BEST spot in the High Desert to go off-roading, and the property includes its own slope down to the canyon that will launch you into an off-roading desert adventure.

If you’re the type that wants to arrive and relax at the house on your vacation, Uber and Lyft are available as well, but the wait times may increase due to the more remote location of this home.

This property does feature outdoor cameras for security purposes. These cameras are turned off when guests arrive and will not be active during your stay.
