Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
An architectural gem in the heart of the Mojave Desert, this impressive home was built using straw bale construction by a renowned local architect. Sitting on five acres of desert terrain, you'll be able to connect with nature and recharge in style – especially around the meditation circle, which is perfect for sunset yoga and midnight manifestations. With majestic mountain and valley views, every inch is designed to show off the scenery – picture stargazing beds, sun loungers, private outdoor showers and cast iron cowboy tubs for soaks under the Milky Way. When the sun goes down and the chill sets in, gather around the wood-burning chiminea and gas fire pit, or head inside and warm up by the fireplace. The interior is just as eye-catching, with natural colours and plenty of Southwestern and Moroccan flair. The layout consists of two one-bed studios and the main house, so there's plenty of space to spread out. River rock spa showers, record players with a selection of vinyl, fluffy bathrobes, soft slippers, Bluetooth speakers and an array of crystals and gems are all provided, so you truly don't have to worry about anything. Plus, you'll be staying just one mile from the... western entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and a six-minute drive from Joshua Tree Village, where shopping, art galleries and eateries await.
