61939 Hilltop Drive, Joshua Tree, CA 92252 (MLS # 26827779PS)
|
Perched on a quiet hilltop in Joshua Tree, this charming 1 bedroom, 1 bath desert retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy, views, and income potential. Set on a spacious lot with an additional adjoining 0.4-acre parcel included in the sale, this property gives you rare flexibility and room to grow. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, "Cozy Cottage" has already proven strong performance with approximately $19,000+ in gross Airbnb revenue since launching in late 2025, with steady momentum continuing into 2026. Inside, the home features a warm, open living space with exposed wood beam ceilings, updated finishes, and great natural light. The layout is simple and inviting, making it an easy fit as a personal getaway or a turnkey rental. Step outside and take in unobstructed hilltop views with open land across the street, adding to the sense of space and privacy. The lot offers plenty of opportunity to expand, add another structure (buyer to verify), or create an even more compelling outdoor experience. Located just minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park and close to the shops, restaurants, and local spots in downtown Joshua Tree, the location works equally well for personal use or as an income property. Whether you're looking for a rental, a second home, or something with future upside, this one checks the boxes.
