This secluded retreat has jaw-dropping views of the Californian desert, and just wait until you see the star-studded night sky. Made up of a main house and a two-bedroom cabin, this home is ideal for a family holiday or reunion with friends. You can enjoy all the best aspects of communal living and equally indulge in some precious alone-time on the vast desert grounds - with 10 acres of private land to explore. The compound is set just a 15-minute drive from the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, meaning hiking (try the Hidden Valley Nature Trail) and visiting mesmerising Skull Rock are easy excursions. Return home for a dip in the private pool and a soak in one of two hot tubs - all with a backdrop of Mt. San Gorgonio and Mt San Jacinto. Inside the main house, a wood-burning stove and artful textiles lend a distinct sense of place, while touches like the rainfall showers and comfy sun loungers make this home super luxe. The cabin features bright colours and eclectic art, channeling downtown Joshua Tree with its range of quirky galleries, shops, and eateries, just 10 minutes away.
