Perched on five acres of untouched High Desert wilderness, this house earns its place in Joshua Tree's landscape. The wraparound deck, heated pool, and year-round spa face open desert in every direction – the kind of view that makes you linger long past sundown. When the temperature drops, the fire pit tucked among the Joshua trees becomes the natural gathering point, with clear skies overhead that reward the wait. Wide picture windows blur the boundary between the art-filled interior and the rugged terrain outside. Joshua Tree National Park is a sixteen-minute drive, so the trailheads here feel like a bonus, not a compromise.

Home truths
Due to this home's remote location, you might find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
A car is essential here – the home sits in a remote desert location reached via dirt roads, and you'll need to drive for everything from groceries to the national park. Roads can develop ruts after rain, so factor that in if you're visiting in wetter months.
There's free parking for up to four cars on the driveway.
