Sunset Sonata

Sunset Sonata: California

Are you looking for a private, spa-like retreat in the desert? With a refreshing swimming pool, a yoga room, a heated outdoor jacuzzi and serene views, this remote beauty is sure to keep you both entertained and relaxed. The wrap-around terrace offers gorgeous views of Yucca Valley, and at night, you can admire the starry sky by the propane-filled fire pit. Inside, the modern design is a minimalist treat with colourful wooden details that give the home its relaxed character and let you settle into the slower daily rhythm of desert life. If you tire of poolside lounging, there are plenty of jaw-dropping hiking trails in the nearby Joshua Tree National Park – just a ten-minute drive away – and even a private trail all to yourself on the property that will lead you to a bench with 360-degree views. In the evening, watch the inimitable sunset before retiring to the luxurious bedrooms for a good night's rest. We promise you will wake up recharged and ready for another day of exploration and relaxation.
