1800 Belmont St, Lot 44, Joshua Tree, CA 92252

Perched on a gently elevated 5-acre mesa in North Joshua Tree’s Hidden Rivers area, this vintage recreational homestead cabin offers panoramic views of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset—with just one Joshua Tree on site, allowing for more flexibility when planning updates or expansion. The property has legal access, residential zoning (RES | RES ZONE MAX 14 UTS & USE EX HPC/MHM), and power and water in the street, providing a solid foundation for your vision. The presence of an original, permitted recreational cabin is a major advantage. In San Bernardino County, recreational cabins are considered legal structures intended for occasional or seasonal use—not for full-time occupancy. But because this structure already exists, you may be eligible to apply for an alteration permit rather than starting from scratch with new construction. That can streamline the permitting process and reduce costs, making it much more feasible to convert the cabin into a permitted single-family residence by adding a kitchen and bath and bringing it up to code. Of course, if your vision is to simply restore the cabin and enjoy it as a historic off-grid retreat, that's also a valid and valuable path. The conceptual renderings we developed explore both possibilities—whether you're looking to preserve the desert heritage or transform the site into a modern retreat with minimal intervention. Just a short drive to downtown Joshua Tree, yet with a remote and serene feel, this property invites you to walk the land, feel the stillness, and imagine what’s next.
