This tiny home at 1165 McGarry Road in Joshua Tree is a great fit for someone who wants privacy, space, and a quiet place to live without the upkeep of a large house. The home is about 198 square feet, but it sits on two full acres of land, so it never feels cramped. With lots of windows, the space feels open and bright, bringing in natural light and views of the surrounding desert.
The property is fully enclosed by a large block wall with two metal gates, allowing access from either side and creating a strong sense of privacy and separation from the outside world. With open land around you, beautiful sunsets, and no close neighbors, it's an ideal setting for peaceful desert living. There's plenty of room for parking, and a private patio with built-in bench seating makes it easy to relax outside perfect for daytime reading or stargazing at night.
The unit includes a washer and dryer inside, which is a rare find for a tiny home, and there is also a separate 200-square-foot storage unit available for extra belongings, gear, or tools. The layout is simple, functional, and easy to maintain.
Please note that a PO Box or alternative mail delivery method is required, as standard mail delivery is not available at the property.
Located just a short drive from Joshua Tree village and the national park, this home offers a private desert setting with convenient access to town. If you're looking for a low-maintenance place with space, privacy, and outdoor living, this is a truly unique rental opportunity.
Lease Terms: Owner pays for water, trash, and internet. Tenant is responsible for electricity only. A minimum nine-month lease is required. This home is intended for long-term, quiet living and is best suited for one occupant. Security deposit and standard screening apply.
