Summary:

At Overlook JT, you can step from the property into Joshua Tree National Park. Set on 1.8 hillside acres in Monument Manor, this remodeled three-bedroom ranch faces rugged boulder mountains, with an in-ground pool and hot tub at the center of outdoor life. Spend the day between the park and the wide wooden deck, then come together for dinner beneath the bistro lights as the desert turns pink.



The Space:

The appeal of Overlook JT is how easily the house shifts between adventure and downtime. White walls, warm wood, woven textures, and thoughtfully collected artwork give the interiors a relaxed, bohemian character, while large windows bring Joshua trees and rugged mountain scenery into view. Two distinct living rooms offer space to spread out, and the connection to the outdoor deck makes it easy to move between a quiet afternoon indoors and a swim beneath the open desert sky.



With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and room for six guests, the home is particularly well suited to families and friends who want to explore Joshua Tree together without giving up the pleasure of spending an entire day at home.

-Outdoor Amenities-

Outside is where Overlook JT truly comes into its own. A broad wooden deck stretches across the home, framing the in-ground pool and adjoining hot tub against a panorama of boulder-covered mountains. Oversized cushioned poufs invite you to stretch out beside the water, while the covered porch offers a comfortable place to read, talk, or simply watch the changing light across the landscape.



The property's 1.8 acres border Joshua Tree National Park, giving guests the unusual opportunity to walk directly into the park from the grounds. Joshua trees, natural desert vegetation, and rugged hillsides surround the outdoor living areas, making the landscape feel like an extension of the home.



There is plenty to enjoy between adventures, too. Spend an afternoon playing cornhole, find a quiet moment in the hammock, or settle into the hot tub after exploring the park. As evening approaches, the gas BBQ and outdoor dining table make dinner outside an easy choice, with bistro lights adding a warm glow overhead.



Later, gather around the gas fire pit among the rocks or bring out the telescope to take a closer look at the night sky. The wide-open desert views are every bit as compelling after sunset.



-Living Area-

Overlook JT has two living rooms, each with its own personality.



The main living room is a comfortable gathering place, anchored by a sculptural black Malm electric fireplace against white brick. A generous leather sofa, layered textiles, natural wood furnishings, and a large TV create a welcoming space for movie nights, board games, and evenings together.



The second living room has a quieter, more contemplative atmosphere. Wood-framed lounge chairs, soft cushions, woven furnishings, and warm lighting give it the character of a relaxed desert listening room. Put on a record, browse the books, or use the telescope positioned near the windows to take in the surrounding landscape.



Having two separate gathering spaces is especially useful for groups, allowing some guests to watch a movie while others enjoy music, conversation, or a little peace and quiet.



-Kitchen and Dining-

The kitchen brings a bright, lived-in warmth to the home, with wooden countertops, open shelving, white cabinetry, and carefully chosen decorative touches. It is fully equipped for preparing meals, with appliances, cookware, dishes, utensils, and everyday cooking essentials.



Coffee lovers have both a drip coffee maker and French press, along with provided coffee, sugar, creamer, and a selection of teas. The kitchen island offers an informal place to gather while breakfast or dinner comes together.



Indoors, the dining area features warm wood furnishings and a woven pendant light, creating an inviting setting for meals around the table. For evenings when the weather is too good to stay inside, take dinner outdoors to the covered dining area beneath the bistro lights, where the mountain backdrop becomes part of the experience.



-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-

Overlook JT accommodates up to six guests across three thoughtfully arranged bedrooms, offering a comfortable balance of shared time and personal space.



The primary suite features a king bed, warm natural furnishings, and a private sitting area beside the window. It is a lovely spot to enjoy morning coffee, read, or simply appreciate the desert scenery. A dedicated desk provides a convenient workspace, while the ensuite bathroom includes a shower-tub combination.



The second bedroom offers a queen bed and smart TV, with a comfortable, understated atmosphere for winding down at the end of the day.



The third bedroom is a bunk room, particularly well suited to younger guests or friends sharing a room. Framed wildlife artwork, a steel desk, and windows overlooking the Joshua trees give the space its own playful desert character.



The home has two full bathrooms, both with shower-tub combinations. The second bathroom also features a double vanity, making it easier for multiple guests to get ready before heading out for the day.



Together, the bedrooms and flexible living spaces make Overlook JT a place where everyone can find their own rhythm, whether that means an early morning exploring the park, a long afternoon beside the pool, or a peaceful evening watching the desert settle into night.



-Surrounding Area-

Overlook JT backs onto Joshua Tree National Park, with trails and wildlife right outside. The West Entrance is there for a drive through the park, and downtown Joshua Tree has shops, restaurants and an art scene. The Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum and the Transmission sculpture by Daniel Popper make good outings.
