Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Built from granite soil dug right out of the ground beneath it, this rammed earth house sits on a 20-acre plot. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open the main living space to patios and a hot tub with uninterrupted desert views, while a double wood-burning fireplace anchors evenings when the temperature drops. The bedrooms are calm and considered, and the en-suite soaking tubs offer a quiet luxury after a day on the private trails that wind through the rock formations on site. Joshua Tree National Park's North Entrance is a three-minute drive away.
