The home also features a recently replaced roof, providing added value and peace of mind for future ownership. Step outside and experience the full potential of this desert compound. The 5 acres offer endless possibilities to roam, create, expand, or simply unwind. The property includes two horse stalls and a striking painted water tower--an artistic focal point that adds to the property's unique identity. A fully finished and thoughtfully designed shipping container serves as a private guest retreat, complete with additional sleeping space and a bathroom--ideal for hosting, creative use, or potential rental income. Whether you're looking for a serene full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a truly distinctive investment opportunity, Owl's Nest offers a rare chance to own a unique desert sanctuary where lifestyle, land, and inspiration come together.
