House Description

Welcome to The Drive-In, a truly one-of-a-kind desert retreat and fully operational short-term rental compound situated on two separate parcels totaling approximately 8.5 acres. Featured in Architectural Digest, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of privacy, designer finishes, resort-style amenities, and established rental history. The property features a beautifully remodeled main residence and separate, freestanding guest casita, both thoughtfully designed with modern finishes and offered fully furnished, right down to the linens, for a truly turnkey experience. Designed for unforgettable desert experiences, The Drive-In boasts an incredible collection of outdoor amenities, including a private drive-in movie theater with a massive 12' x 20' screen, swimming pool with custom deck, hot tub, pickleball court, built-in BBQ, fire pit with built-in seating, outdoor dining area, 80-yard closest-to-the-pin golf hole, six-hammock stargazing circle, yoga deck, outdoor stone soaking tub with hot and cold water, and many more amenities. For buyers seeking an established short-term rental investment, the seller is also willing to include the existing Airbnb listing, complete with its accumulated guest reviews and future reservations, as well as The Drive-In's established Instagram account with nearly 40,000 followers. This presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire not only a remarkable property but also the existing digital presence and booking pipeline associated with this well-known desert destination. The main residence features two permitted bedrooms and central air conditioning, while the separate one-bedroom casita offers its own mini-split system. The property currently benefits from two separate short-term rental permits, allowing for a combined maximum occupancy of 10 guests.
