This is one seriously cool abode. Get into the desert groove in a home surrounded by stunning Joshua trees in the sublime Yucca Valley. Its mid-century vibes and bold 70s decor are echoed in the sleek furniture, very chic colour palette, and dreamy textiles. Turn some Fleetwood Mac up on the record player, and channel your inner Stevie Nicks on holiday. If you want to escape the city, this home is a secluded base to come back to after days of hiking through Joshua Tree National Park, less than a fifteen-minute drive from home. Spend your evenings barbecuing with cool drinks under the shade of the terrace. Immersed in nature and a glorious pad, this home offers unforgettable moments like sitting in the hot tub under the starry desert night sky. When you are ready to head out and about, drive ten minutes through the wilderness to Pioneertown for that ultimate western cowboy experience and excellent Mexican cuisine. This knockout home really is a sanctuary of calm and comfort in the heart of the desert.
