About this property
Modern Desert Retreat on 5 Acres with Fire Pit!
Summary:
Secluded on five serene acres where native yuccas, and palo verdes thrive, this home was thoughtfully designed to merge effortlessly into the high desert landscape. Featuring a thousand square foot sunrise patio, a shaded dining pergola, and a cozy breezeway, this escape offers absolute privacy just twenty minutes from Joshua Tree National Park.
The Space:
This property provides an unbeatable opportunity to unplug on a sprawling five acre private plot while remaining close enough to local cafes and park entrances. Whether you are sipping morning drinks as the sunrise illuminates the eastern hills or listening to desert breezes under the twinkling lights of the dining canopy, every corner inspires intentional rest and effortless connection. It is the perfect hideaway for travelers looking for architectural style, generous outdoor space, and complete solitude.

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable.

THE DESERT: The Desert is a beautiful, magical + unique experience. Expect sand, dirt + wildlife! Your shoes might get dirty ;) Also, we have beautiful plants around the house for your enjoyment, yet, they get quite thirsty out here in the desert. Feel free to delight in giving them an extra drink of water to keep them beautiful for everyone! Lastly, we do our absolute best to keep the property clean before your arrival, yet the desert can experience strong winds that may unfortunately carry litter/debris/branches with them. Thank you for understanding!
NEIGHBORS: Please be mindful of neighbors + noise levels, particularly at night! We have wonderful humans who live next door and we would all love to respect and enjoy the incredible peace + quiet of the desert. ***Simply please be considerate - please no loud outdoor noise/yelling/blasting music after 8PM! Should you receive a noise complaint, you will be responsible for paying any penalties.***
