Blissfully detached from reality, this home springs up in the wild Californian desert like a mirage. The interior of this pueblo-style home has been rehauled with a discerning eye. Enjoy the wood-burning fireplace, plush designer sofa, and sleek outfitted kitchen. Large French doors open the living area onto the desert landscape, where you can admire the mountains and cacti from your shady perch on the couch. In the mornings, make a luxurious pour-over coffee and enjoy it on the front patio in the early desert air. If you’re bold enough, stretch out on a lounger and work on your tan before cooling off in the outdoor shower. Secluded yet conveniently located, you’re just a twenty-minute drive from the splendour of Joshua Tree National Park and its many hikes and rock formations. You’re even closer to the action of Pioneertown and Yucca Valley – drive under ten minutes to catch live music and down a few drinks at the legendary Pappy & Harriet’s. Return home and spend some time on the loungers, underneath some of the most magnificent stars in all of California.
