Perched on Portal Mountain, this house sits on forty acres of high desert with granite boulders, pine trees, and private hiking trails rolling out in every direction. The interiors are a world apart – hand-carved antique columns, artefacts gathered from Morocco, India, and the Middle East, and a main bedroom with a vaulted Moroccan ceiling and spa-like bath gazing out at the mountains. Outside, a cowboy pool nestled among the boulders, a rock spa hot tub, and a vintage 1970s lounge hangar keep things playful long after the sun goes down.

Home truths
While the cowboy pool, hot tub, and some of the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
The villa sits on 40 acres of boulder-strewn terrain at elevation – expect uneven ground, rocky paths, and natural desert landscape between the various outdoor features. It's a wonderful place to explore, but not one suited to guests with significant mobility limitations.
This home is set deep in the high desert – you'll need a car for everything, from groceries to the nearest town. Yucca Valley's shops and restaurants are a fifteen-minute drive away, and Joshua Tree National Park is twenty-five minutes out.

Local guide
About Pioneertown
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.
