Five acres of raw Californian desert, entirely to yourself – no roads, no neighbours, just ancient boulders and Joshua trees pressing in on all sides. This house was designed by local architect Martin Brunner to sit quietly within the Rimrock landscape, and it earns that ambition: floor-to-ceiling glass frames uninterrupted rock panoramas from the living area, while a private wellness deck with an outdoor soaking tub lets you bathe under an open sky as the light shifts. Come evening, the fire pit terrace draws you outside to watch the desert darken. Pappy & Harriet's and Pioneertown are a ten-minute drive when you're ready for the world again.

Home truths
If you're travelling with a baby, your host can provide a cot.
Due to this home's remote location, you might find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
The home is fitted with exterior security cameras that monitor occupancy – worth keeping in mind if you value complete privacy outdoors.
You'll need a car to get anywhere from here – the home sits in the remote reaches of Rim Rock and many local roads are dirt tracks that can vary in condition after rain. Parking is available for two cars.

About Pioneertown
Drive a couple of hours east of Los Angeles, and you’re in a different world.

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.
