Description
***HUELL HOWSER'S 80-ACRE MID-CENTURY RETREAT*** Formerly owned by Huell Howser, this mid-century gem is situated on 82.7 acres and has breathtaking, unobstructed views of Joshua Tree National Park and the surrounding areas. After the passing of Huell in 2013, the current ownership fully restored the property and turned it into a vacation rental and wedding/event space. The home is partially gated and the grounds around the home feature mature palm trees and beautiful desert gardens that are enclosed by an iconic, architecturally designed, rusted steel fence. Extensive outdoor lighting, chosen by Huell, allows the spaces to be enjoyed in both the daytime and the nighttime. The home has 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms, a (fully outfitted) galley kitchen with a breakfast table, a great room with a wood-burning fireplace, a den/TV room or third bedroom, and a beautiful glass atrium or tea room. The master bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed, and a toddler/(day) bed. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed. The third bedroom is set up as a den or TV room, with a sofa that converts to a queen-size bed, desk & TV. The bedrooms and bathrooms are accessed from the hallway that opens to the great room. The galley kitchen features classic mid-century cabinetry and concrete countertops and the original stove from the 1950's. It opens out into the great room, which has a dining table and chairs, plus media wall with tv and comfortable seating. A large dining table, that doubles as a ping pong table, is situated on the pool deck under the cover of a veranda, along with a stylish outdoor grill and vintage swing set. The pool has a maximum depth of 10 feet and also has a large tanning shelf. On one side of the pool is a separate Jacuzzi and on the opposite is a fire pit. There are five large 100-year old millstones brought in by Huell that lay about the pool area, giving the house its name. At the west end of the home is a glass atrium sitting room or tea room. The exterior walls are made of steel framed, sliding glass panels, which can be opened to blend the indoor area into the outdoor area. This landmark home is truly one-of-a-kind.Property Details and Features
