If you’re looking for a turnkey desert retreat, this three-bedroom dwelling in Landers, California, may be the one. Situated on five acres in the Mojave Desert about 10 minutes from Joshua Tree, the property was originally built in 1987 and recently underwent a head-to-toe renovation.

The 1,712-square-foot home now offers a bright, open layout, featuring tall ceilings with exposed trusses and polished concrete floors. Wood-trimmed windows and doors wrap the main gathering areas, ushering ample natural light inside.

"With original design elements that reflect the natural surroundings, this property is an ideal setting for entertaining or romantic nights in," says listing agent Jasmine Farrow. "Its expansive lot frames riveting views, in addition to the starry night sky which can be enjoyed once the sun sets."

The three bedrooms are located in a private wing away from the living areas, each offering outdoor access. Along with its own patio, the primary suite also has a dual walk-in shower and oversized soaking tub.

Outside, an expansive, shipping-container pool awaits, with a landscaped fire pit area located steps away. A detached garage is also on the property, which can be easily converted into a gym, creative studio, or guest house. Scroll ahead to see more of the residence, now listed for $798,000.
