A RARE 29 WEST HILLTOP RETREAT | TWO 5-ACRE PARCELS | 10 ACRES | ONE HOME + ONE CABIN. Perched on a private desert knoll in the sought-after Desert Heights area of Twentynine Palms, this unique property offers 10 acres of wide-open desert, breathtaking panoramic views, and exceptional privacy. Offered as two separate 5-acre parcels, the property features a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath mid-century home and a detached recreational cabin on the adjoining parcel, creating a rare opportunity for a private desert compound.
Built in 1958, the main residence celebrates classic High Desert architecture with original block construction, cantilevered windows, and a beautiful flagstone fireplace, complemented by thoughtful modern updates. Warm, inviting, and full of character, this intimate desert hideaway embraces the simplicity of desert living.
The real magic is outside. Elevated above the surrounding landscape and bordering BLM-managed public land, the property captures sweeping views of rugged mountains, dramatic rock formations, and endless open desert. Enjoy spectacular sunrises, colorful sunsets, extraordinary stargazing, and the peaceful solitude that makes this part of the High Desert so special.
The second 5-acre parcel features a separate insulated recreational cabin with finished interior walls and windows, offering versatile flex space ideal for an artist's studio, creative workspace, writing retreat, meditation studio, or simply a peaceful place to unwind and take in the desert views.
Whether envisioned as a weekend escape, second home, artist retreat, or private desert compound, the two-parcel configuration offers space, privacy, and potential.
Tucked away in a peaceful desert setting yet conveniently located near Mas o Menos, the 49 Palms Oasis hiking trail, Indian Cove in Joshua Tree National Park, and downtown Joshua Tree.
Opportunities to own two separate 5-acre parcels with this kind of elevation, privacy, and panoramic scenery are increasingly hard to find. Come experience the views, explore the possibilities, and discover what makes this desert retreat so special.
