Welcome to 1489 Balsa Avenue, a charming single-family studio-style home situated on a spacious 5-acre desert lot in Yucca Valley. This unique property offers rustic appeal with a distinctive A-frame entry, mature Joshua Trees, and wide-open views of the surrounding landscape. The home has received some thoughtful updates over the years, including exterior paint, roofing, and functional improvements that support comfortable desert living. Inside, the open layout offers flexibility for sleeping, lounging, and working, while the vintage wood paneling adds a warm, retro touch. Outside, the property includes a secondary structure with power already in place—an ideal opportunity for a future guesthouse, art studio, or workshop with additional development potential. The lot is only partially fenced, providing ample room to expand, customize, or create your own desert sanctuary. Whether you’re looking for a full-time home, creative retreat, or long-term investment, this one-of-a-kind desert dwelling has potential written all over it.
