About this property
Joshua Tree Hidden Tower Ranch -private, great views, landmark!
Welcome to The Joshua Tree Hidden Tower Ranch! Situated across from 100's of acres of desert preserve with access to trails through a forest of Joshua trees and junipers, this is your home base for exploring the backcountry of Joshua Tree National Park, while being only a short distance to Downtown Joshua Tree and Pioneertown.
This rustic, spacious, newly built cabin sits next to a one-hundred-year old water tower, a true historic landmark of California. The property was constructed in 2018 by the reputable architectural firm Hundred Mile House. The project was an effort to preserve and adapt the 100 year-old water tower and create a free-standing cottage so that guests can experience the unique historic setting of the property.
The bright and cheery living area features wooden walls and French doors that let in an abundance of natural light and air. Guests can climb the three-story tower to experience unparalleled views of the area and some of the best stargazing. Relax under the stars on the 2.5-acre property and experience dramatic views of the surrounding city lights, boulder-strewn mountains and dense Joshua Tree forests. You'll be greeted by an abundant of wildlife in perfect solitude.
Sleeping Area: A total of four guests can be accommodated with sleeping areas containing excellent views. Bedroom includes a double bed, closet, wardrobe hangers, side tables and bedside lighting. Additionally, there are two twin beds that can accommodate more guests in the living area.
Bathroom: The bathroom has a bathtub, a shower, a sink, and a toilet. Towels and linens and hair dryer are kindly provided.
Kitchen: The kitchen comes fully equipped with everything that guests might need to prepare their own meals, and a large wooden dining table to enjoy them at. (4-burner electric range, 10 cu ft. refrigerator/freezer; porcelain deep country-style sink; counter top appliances include: coffee maker; full set of flatware/tableware for 4 people; wine glasses; drinking glasses; salt/pepper, olive oil.)
