Privacy and breathtaking desert views define this secluded 1958 homesteader’s cabin and grounds. Set on 5 private acres on a dirt road, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath mid-century cabin is perched atop a dramatic ridge with 360° panoramic hilltop views of the Mojave Desert—an exceptional setting for photo shoots, film productions, creative retreats, workshops, and intimate events. Mecca Ridge offers a rare combination of rustic authenticity and modern comfort. In addition to the main house and expansive outdoor spaces, the property includes a two-story red barn, providing an additional character-rich structure ideal for staging, photography, gatherings, or creative use. Originally built in 1958 and expanded in the late 1970s, Mecca Ridge is a mid-century sanctuary with original textures, natural materials, and abundant light. It’s especially well suited for artists, brands, wellness leaders, and small groups seeking a visually striking, secluded environment. The cabin sits along a steep ridge and is surrounded by native desert landscape, wildlife, and cacti. Guests and crews should be mindful when moving about the property, particularly with children. Wildlife sightings are common and may include bighorn sheep, deer, bobcats, coyotes, birds of prey, jackrabbits, roadrunners, and desert insects—adding to the authentic atmosphere and sense of place.

Two-Story Red Barn A standout visual element on the property.

Guest Access *Guests will have access to the main house, red barn, outdoor spaces, and full 5-acre property *Free parking for several cars in the driveway *Single-level home with no stairs upon entry *Laundry room available (cold wash only) *Easy self check-in with keyless entry Important Notes Rustic & Remote: This is an authentic desert homestead, not a luxury venue. The charm lies in its simplicity, history, and natural surroundings. If you’re seeking a sleek or highly polished environment, this may not be the right fit. Desert Environment: The Mojave is wild and untamed, with high winds, rain, temperature extremes, and native wildlife. Encounters with insects and animals are possible and part of the experience. Guests should keep doors closed and remain respectful of the environment. Safety: Due to steep terrain, uneven ground, cacti, and wildlife, children must be supervised at all times.
