Mid-Century Desert Retreat on 20 Magical Acres. Welcome to The Starburst Ranch, a soulful 1950s time capsule tucked away in the Mojave’s quiet outskirts. Surrounded by iconic Joshua trees, native sage, and stunning panoramic mountain views, this estate is a celebration of timeless design and clean lines. Step inside and take in the rich character—floor-to-ceiling windows that connect the inner space with the surrounding desert, custom wood built-ins, warm walnut paneling, and a slate-wrapped wood-burning fireplace that anchors the open living space. A vintage kitchen with a bar counter flows into the dining area, perfect for entertaining against a backdrop of endless desert sunsets. Modern upgrades blend seamlessly with original charm: paid-off solar panels, central HVAC, updated plumbing, electrical, well pump, windows, and more offering both style and energy efficiency. Two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a pause-worthy hallway with ample storage, and a large bonus room with a private entrance offer flexibility for guests, studios, or your creative vision. Outside, curated zen landscaping, string lights, and a firepit create the ultimate gathering space under the stars. A detached studio with a mini split and Italian corkboard flooring (ready to install) expands the possibilities—ideal for artists, writers, a gym, or office. The detached 2-car garage, animal pens, and multiple subdivided APNs (included) extending about 1/2 a mile back from the entrance street, add investment potential. Enjoy extra storage space with an in-ground basement-type pool conversion. This cinematic location also generates income as a film set and has served as a canvas for creatives seeking inspiration from nature’s muse in the quiet beauty of desert living. Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, a serene getaway, or a one-of-a-kind investment, this gem invites you to slow down, breathe deep, & stay a while. Where silence speaks volumes – and the desert calls you home.
