Property Description
This historic adobe home, documented in Remingtons The Adobes of Twentynine Palms, was crafted by Allen Balch in 1933. Once the residence of desert homesteaders John and Alice Strattonalong with a roster of colorful early localsthis property holds a special place in Twentynine Palms history. A former resident even recalls Ansel Adams staying in the guest house while photographing what is now Joshua Tree National Park. Overflowing with classic early California adobe character, the home showcases its heritage with heavy front columns, pine-board beamed ceilings, railroad-tie lintels, thick adobe walls, a rock-faced fireplace with freestanding stove, solid wood doors, and a charming block-built guest cottage with a vintage enameled steel sink. The layout features a spacious primary bedroom, a comfortable guest bedroom, a dedicated dining room, guest quarters, three covered patios, mature desert landscaping, and a garagecreating a rare blend of beauty and livability. Modern updates provide comfort without compromising authenticity: paid solar panels, central heat and air in the main home, a mini-split and laundry in the guest house, natural gas cooking, dual water softeners, and cable internet access. Select historic furnishings may also be negotiated in the sale, along with existing furniture. Perfect as a full-time residence or weekend retreat, this historic jewel is minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance and close to shopping and dining. Perched on a spacious corner lot with wide-open skies and mountain views, this adobe is a rare opportunity to own one of 29 Pa
