Two side-by-side pools glowing against a panoramic Joshua Tree backdrop set the tone for this desert home, where the scale and ambition are unlike anything else in the High Desert. Inside, a sunken conversation pit anchors the great room, with the open desert stretching beyond the glass. Eight bedrooms spread across two wings each open directly onto private patios, and three fire pits draw everyone outside once the sun drops and the stars take over. Downtown Joshua Tree is a ten-minute drive away, with Joshua Tree National Park's entrances on either side.

Home truths
This home sits in the high desert between Joshua Tree National Park's entrances, so you'll need a car for groceries, restaurants, and exploring the area. Downtown Joshua Tree is around an eight-minute drive, and Pioneertown is about twenty-five minutes away.
Parking is available in the garage or driveway, but there's no on-street parking here – make sure all vehicles stay within the designated spaces to avoid being ticketed or towed.
While the sixth bathroom isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

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.
