Nestled in the prestigious Joshua Tree Highlands, this custom-built Pueblo-style home is as charming as they come. Built in 2004 yet reminiscent of an original adobe, 8485 Star Lane features a detached studio and sits on a serene 1.25-acre lot, just minutes from the Joshua Tree Park entrance. Step through the gates into a lush courtyard connecting the main house and studio–a garden oasis with fruit trees, flowers, herbs, and vegetables–such as Meyer lemons, olives, rosemary, and lavender–growing alongside native cacti, and a fish pond. Three covered patios provide peaceful spots to soak in the natural beauty. The one-bed, one-bath main house opens into a spacious living and dining area with concrete floors and custom woodwork. The kitchen is filled with natural light and boasts handmade cabinetry, open shelving, and a breakfast bar. The bedroom features French doors leading to an outdoor bathtub and shower nestled among boulders, offering a serene connection to the surrounding landscape. The property includes a permitted studio attached to the garage with a kitchenette and bathroom. The garage is currently used as an open living space but can be easily reverted if desired. Whether you seek a peaceful retreat, a rental opportunity, or plan to live in one home and rent the other, this property is a true desert gem. Can come partially furnished and ready to move right in to start enjoying the magic of the high desert.
