High Desert Mirage

High Desert Mirage: California

Located in the heart of Joshua Tree, this knock-out hideaway has been featured in everything from fashion shoots to music videos as well as Andy Samberg's film "Palm Springs" – a fact that doesn't surprise us considering its otherworldly style. This home subtly blends into the desertscape with its earthy tones and rusty finishes, featuring a fusion of Wabi-Sabi and modern design.

There are large sliding doors that open to reveal the sandy 8-acre private garden and mountains beyond. Make a beeline for the expansive outdoor deck and saltwater pool with integrated hot tub and Baja shelves. Lie back in the cool water and gaze up at an endless blue sky. At night, you can spot the Milkyway as you chat with friends around the 10-foot fire pit. Cooking up a feast or crafting cocktails is easy with the chef's kitchen, making this home utterly perfect for a desert escape with friends or family.

With free access to the Desert View Conservation Area of Joshua Tree National Park, you'll find mountain views and trails that can keep you occupied for days here. Though when you are ready to get back in touch with civilisation, rest assured you'll be just a four-minute drive to the centre of Joshua Tree with restaurants, coffee shops, and yoga studios within easy reach.
