The couple searched for 4 years for the perfectly situated piece of land to create an inspirational home, settling on this homesteader over 20 years ago. The carefully restored main home is full of light and exceptional desert views. The main residence consists of 1 bedroom and 1 bath, galley kitchen, and an open living and dining area. The home is surrounded by patios to enjoy your nest in the mountains. An additional 1,200 sq ft covered pavilion with 2 guest rooms (which the artists used as studios), a bath, and storage area. Pull your loungers out onto the large cement pad and sleep under the stars. The property includes a detached 2 car carport and circle drive, and detached storage shed with full laundry. Situated on 5 acres tucked high in Big Morongo Canyon, this charming, good vibes property (nicknamed The Love Shack) is looking for its next chapter.
