63433 Belmont HILLTOP SANCTUARY ON 5 ACRES IN NORTH JOSHUA TREE! This property has soul. Perched atop a desert hill on five glorious acres, this warm and wonderfully stylish 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat feels utterly removed from the world below. Shaded by mature pines and surrounded by sweeping desert wilderness, the home enjoys staggering, seemingly endless views across rolling hills, open valleys and distant mountains-a private perch from which to watch the desert transform from first light to sunset. Inside, quintessential Joshua Tree character abounds. Warm, vaulted wood-beamed ceilings soar above an open living, dining and kitchen space, while block walls, concrete floors and integral concrete counters lend an appealingly elemental, modern-desert aesthetic. The inviting kitchen opens to a breakfast bar, and abundant windows frame the landscape like artwork. A thoughtfully designed split floor plan places the two bedrooms apart for privacy, while mini-splits provide comfortable climate control. Captivating touches abound, from the warm, wood-clad bedroom with its beamed ceiling and broad picture window to the spacious bathroom with its striking concrete walk-in shower. Life here spills outdoors. A long, covered porch offers a shady place for morning coffee while the desert slowly awakens, and the expansive view deck practically begs for lingering dinners and cocktails as the setting sun washes the mountains in pink, gold and violet. Take a cooling dip in the filtered cowboy pool, then wander down to the spa and soak beneath a vast, star-bedazzled sky. There's even a wonderfully rustic outdoor shower where you can rinse off while admiring the sweeping views. Five acres provide abundant breathing room and a wonderful sense of solitude, peace and privacy. Practical amenities include a dedicated laundry room, private well, storage shed, recently replaced roof and irrigation system. Warm, artistic, unpretentious and deeply connected to its natural surroundings, this is the kind of Joshua Tree property that simply feels good. A stellar full-time refuge or weekend escape for anyone longing for privacy, beauty and a little splendid isolation. Come experience the magic for yourself.
