Create your private sanctuary in this three-bedroom home in Twentynine Palms. From the striking snake design on the external wall to the minimalist interiors bathed with light, this home is in perfect harmony with the desert landscape outside. Spread out on rolling wooden lounge chairs beneath the blue skies and appreciate the silence before strapping on your hiking boots and heading out to explore. Here, you’re just a twenty-minute drive from Joshua Tree National Park, but you don’t even have to travel that far to discover incredible desert landscapes. The home is in the aptly named Wonder Valley, surrounded by the iconic yucca trees that make this area so famous. Your host can arrange for a private hiking guide to show you some secret spots; if your desert trip is more about finding inner peace, a reiki practitioner, yoga instructor or private massage therapist might be more to your liking. And we’d wager that a meal prepared by your private chef will be to everyone’s taste.
