The House of Intellect is a place to escape reality and contemplate your place in the universe. Where wonder meets magic, explore a space that inspires creation and stimulates outer and inner reflection. Located in the heart of the protected land of Monument Manor on 2.5 acres, there's no better place to relax, recharge and re-center than in the darkest area of Joshua Tree, when the night sky really does come alive making it abundantly clear how small we truly are. Featuring an open floor plan to encourage an open mind, this newly remodeled home is stylish, clean, and bright with a design that's best described as a blend of Florence and Miami. It's the quintessential desert getaway, blurring the lines between indoors and out with incredible floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that provide a portal to the magnificent surroundings by day and reflect the surrounding beauty camouflaging the house's very existence at night. Designed like a duplex, each side of the house is symmetrical in layout creating two complimentary suites (a primary suite and a guest suite) while providing plenty of space for 2 couples or the whole family.

Local guide
About Joshua Tree
Drive a couple of hours east of Los Angeles, and you’re in a different world. Nowhere is that more apparent than Joshua Tree with its many artist residences, rugged rock formations, and stark desert landscapes. Named after the twisted, bristled Joshua Tree, a stay in this little Mojave desert community is synonymous with art exhibitions, beautiful night skies, hikes, delicious food, and plenty of hours lounging about in aesthetically pleasing surroundings.
