In Yucca Valley, the measure of a property is mostly space and sky, and this one has plenty of both. It sits on about half an acre in one of the town's most desirable neighborhoods, with the mountains laid out across the horizon. The house holds three bedrooms and two baths in 1,774 square feet. The house has been well kept, and it shows. Tile floors run through the living areas, cool underfoot through the long desert summers. The kitchen pairs stone countertops with a stone-tile backsplash and updated stainless steel appliances. The bedrooms sit apart from the living spaces, which stay bright and open to the light. The land is where the house comes alive. A covered patio faces the ridgelines, which go gold, then rose, then violet as the sun drops. A shed out back is already wired for electricity, ready for a workbench, a pottery wheel, or an easel. An oversized two-car garage takes the vehicles and the gear, and there's room on the lot for an RV or boat. After dark, the Morongo Basin sky fills with more stars than most people have ever seen. Daily life is easy. Schools and the shops along the Highway 62 corridor are close at hand. Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneertown, and the town of Joshua Tree are a short drive. Room to work, room to wander, and a view worth coming home to. It's the high desert at its best.
