1862 Inca Trail

Property Overview
Positioned to capture the sweeping panoramic views of Sand to Snow National Monument, this thoughtfully renovated 1959 residence sits on 5-acres and has become one of the desert's most sought-after destinations for over a decade, ranking among the top 1% of Airbnb guest favorites and frequently selected as a backdrop for commercial productions. The two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath main home was taken down to the studs in 2014 and completely reimagined with an open layout that connects seamlessly to the surrounding landscape. The spacious primary suite offers a spa-like bath with stone shower and soaking tub positioned toward the dramatic, boulder-filled desert scenery. Outside, an oversized custom pool and spa overlook the protected wilderness of Sand to Snow National Monument, surrounded by massive granite boulders and thoughtfully designed landscape and lighting that transforms the property after sunset. A 1,000-square-foot climate-controlled garage / flex space with an expansive wall of windows and a dramatic, oversized slider with automated blinds frame unobstructed desert views, filling the space with natural light and constantly shifting desert color. Enjoy as an art studio, game, screening room, or additional gathering space, complete with a beautifully finished bathroom and integrated Sonos sound system. Additional highlights include direct access to endless hiking, owned solar, triple-pane windows, metal roofing, dedicated RV parking which create a home that balances thoughtful design, modern efficiency, and immersive desert living.
