Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Sitting on two and a half private acres with ancient boulders on all sides, this house is as close to Joshua Tree National Park as you can get without sleeping in the desert itself – the park entrance is five minutes away. Inside, a sunken living room with a stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling glass makes the landscape feel like part of the room. Come evening, the hillside fire pit and saltwater pool offer two very different ways to watch the sky darken, and on a clear night, the Milky Way does the rest.

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.
