Description

Designed to live in rhythm with the desert sun, this newly built modern residence offers a rare balance of architectural intention, nature-integrated living, and refined comfort. Set against a mountain side and wide-open landscape of Joshua Tree, the home presents a serene sanctuary where clean lines, warm minimalism, and immersive natural light shape the experience from the moment you arrive. Anchored by a restrained contemporary silhouette, the 2,323 sq ft house + casita is defined by its off-white steel facade and expansive large metal frame glass that dissolves the threshold between indoors and out. Stepping inside, the atmosphere shifts into a quiet, grounded elegance bright, airy, and softly diffused light throughout the day. An internal atrium, wrapped in glass, forms the heart of the home, drawing in natural light while establishing a constant connection to land and sky. The interiors reflect a thoughtful commitment to natural materials, craftsmanship, and warm Scandinavian undertones. Concrete floors flow throughout, complemented by custom Douglas Fir cabinetry that brings a tactile, organic calm to every room. The kitchen pairs quartzite countertops with integrated appliances for a refined, minimalist profile, while a sculptural floating concrete bench anchors the living space with gallery-like simplicity. A dedicated office wrapped in wood walls and ceilings offers a quiet, soulful workspace for creative living or remote work, with a custom built-in table top. Two spa-inspired bathrooms in the main house are finished in hand-applied tadelakt plaster, one featuring a built-in tub wrapped in glossy Zellige tile for a luxurious, retreat-like ritual. A detached casita - a fully self-contained 1 bedroom, 1 bath suite with kitchenette - sits near the pool with its own private outdoor area, offering guests or residents an independent haven with a resort-like sensibility. Outdoors, the property unfolds across 1.05 acres of native, drought-tolerant desert landscaping, curated pathways, and sculptural plantings that echo the surrounding terrain. Lounge areas, a fire pit, and a pool and spa invite slow mornings, golden-hour reflection, and stargazing beneath expansive desert skies. With sunrise and sunset views, open land, and wildlife quail, roadrunners, and coyotes this home embodies the restorative, creative, and nature-oriented spirit of Joshua Tree. A modern desert retreat designed for deeper connection where architecture, land, and light live in effortless balance.
