Living out your Wild Western fantasies doesn't have to be a dream anymore. Whether you enjoy the idea of living in the middle of a desert with the quiet for a neighbour, or you want to feel like you're in a Western movie, this home will provide you with the special experience you're seeking. Set on ten acres of private land in the Joshua Tree desert, you'll feel like you're living in your own desert playground. The ranch itself is a real gem in the eye of the desert. Experience luxury in the interior with a games room, masses of space – plus amazing furnishings and finishes (just look at the carved dining table), and throw yourself into outback living on the exterior with a barbeque and fire pit. When the starry Californian skies are as beautiful as they are here, you'll love being able to roast smores and gaze at the stars with wanderlust. Of course, the outside does still come with its luxuries. The hot tub with a swim-up bar on the side is sure to be the hub of your entertaining activities. This wouldn't be a Wild Western fantasy come true without a trip to Pioneertown – a place many famous movies have used as a set for their Western productions since it was built in the 1940s. Within a nine-minute drive, you'll be able to immerse yourself in a different world home to ranches, a tavern, a general store and multiple dining options. But if you're looking to write your own desert narrative, Joshua Tree National Park is a twenty-eight-minute drive from home. Hike the wonderful deserts here and feel inspired by the magical boulder formations before heading back to the blissful comfort of the ranch.

Named after the twisted, bristled Joshua Tree, a stay in this little Mojave desert community is synonymous with art exhibitions, beautiful night skies, hikes, delicious food, and plenty of hours lounging about in aesthetically pleasing surroundings.
