Right in the centre of Joshua Tree – a three-minute stroll from its World Famous Crochet Museum – this modern house offers easy access to High Desert’s unique shops, restaurants, and music venues. On the other hand, it's just a nine-minute drive to Joshua Tree National Park, where you can escape every sense of urban life and lose yourself in the desert. As you approach this compact cottage, you can’t help but immediately notice the outdoor offering. Below a pale grey pagoda, your alfresco dining area awaits. With the barbecue, loungers, seating area, and a fire pit, you’ll be spending plenty of time out here. Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise, or soaking in the rustic, cedarwood hot tub at sunset, this courtyard will keep you busy. You can even borrow the host’s bikes, yoga mats, bocce set, or gym equipment if you want to spend every waking moment outdoors. However, you’ll also find extremely thoughtful touches inside. The home offers an elegant, understated decor, with nods to the natural world and work by local artists. Its luxury, plant-based toiletries and 100% solar-powered energy are a gentle reminder of the deep respect and connection to nature in this unique region.
