About 74610 Samarkand Drive
Welcome to The Devany House: a quiet desert landmark rising from sun-washed stillness and offering a rare opportunity to own one of Twentynine Palms’ most historically significant adobe residences. This original adobe home, featured in Pat Rimmington’s book The Adobes of Twentynine Palms, is set amid irrigated landscaping and anchored by a recently installed in-ground pool. This property is a private oasis designed for year-round enjoyment under the desert sky. The residence features a split floorpan - ideal for guests, work-from-home, or multigenerational living. The main section of the home features a living room, kitchen, dining room, two bedrooms and one bath. Connected to the main home and accessible via a separate entrance you'll find guest quarters, featuring one bedroom, one bathroom and a bonus room which is currently in use as a fourth bedroom. In addition, there is an office with its own separate entrance, mini split, and laundry area. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home features a new roof, upgraded HVAC with mini-splits, and refined designer touches including premium tile work and elevated fixtures that enhance the home’s historic character while adding a modern sense of style. Additional amenities such as a covered patio, fire pit, and EV charger further support both comfort and outdoor living. The grounds are thoughtfully composed with native and drought-tolerant plantings including ocotillo, agave, cactus, mature palms, and olive trees, blending sculptural desert beauty with shaded, irrigated space. From this setting, the experience of the home is defined by light and atmosphere. Soft sunrises spilling across the adobe walls in the morning, and expansive sunsets that paint the horizon in warm color each evening. At night, the property opens to the High Desert’s famously dark skies, offering exceptional stargazing and a profound sense of quiet. Ideally located within walking distance of Luckie Park and 29 Palms Junior High, and just 10 minutes from the north entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, the property offers a compelling blend of history, privacy, and access to the desert’s most iconic landscapes. A truly rare offering—ideal as a primary residence, retreat, or investment in one of the High Desert’s most storied homes.
