A denim-blue tower adorned with a sheriff's star rises out of the desert. This quirky home is impossible to miss. Inside, wood-beamed ceilings are reminiscent of the Old West, a fitting theme as you're only a 20-minute drive from Pioneertown and Joshua Tree Village. Birdwatching at Big Morongo Canyon Reserve is practically on your doorstep, and this place is a true retreat from city life. Admire the endless scenery from the patio chairs and dine al fresco from the gas grill. The kitchen has all mod cons and opens up to the fresh, white living room. Splashes of colour come in the form of boho rugs and cushions, and floor-to-ceiling windows let plenty of natural light stream in.
