About this home
Attention Investors — Proven, Profitable, and Turn-Key. Welcome to The Watermelon Sugar House, a high-performing short-term rental with four years of consistent success, glowing guest reviews, and approx. $75,000 in gross annual rental income. This is not a projection —it’s a tried-and-true AirBnB with documented performance, an inventory list worth $40K, and Profit & Loss statements available to serious buyers. Built in 2019, this modern 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers nearly 800 sq. ft. of stylish living space and sits on a nearly 3-acre retreat, backing directly to 490 acres of government land, which creates a private sanctuary with unmatched solitude —an increasingly rare asset in the Joshua Tree market. Location and views are everything here. Inside, the home features sleek tile flooring, a unique floor plan with sliding glass doors to the patio, and a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, pantry, ample cabinetry, appliances, with a newer washer & dryer system. Both bedrooms are spacious, with ample closet space, and serene desert views. Outside is where this property truly shines. An extensive wraparound pergola sets the stage for outdoor dining, relaxing, and panoramic Mojave views. The energy-efficient hot tub, oversized cowboy pool, and custom hammock tree deliver unforgettable stargazing experiences beneath some of the darkest skies in Southern California — where the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye. Located just off a paved road and minutes to the Integratron, Gubler’s Orchids, La Copine, Giant Rock and Joshua Tree National Park, this oasis consistently attracts guests seeking privacy, views, and a true desert escape.
