This home takes its name – meaning ‘wings of the sun’ – from the shape of its roof, which resembles butterfly wings. What was once a homestead has been transformed over the last ten years into a mid-century desert oasis, now with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We love the open-plan living concept here, not least because of the incredible views you get in every direction, enhanced also by the use of glass doors – indoor-outdoor living is the name of the game. Inside, much of the furniture is Danish mid-century modern, lending this home a vibe that is both chic and warm. After a day hiking in Joshua Tree National Park, simply sit out on the deck and enjoy a barbecue under the stars. Ask your host about additional services – from a private chef to in-home reiki and sound baths, it can all be yours.
