This spectacular and unique high-desert retreat awaits - to refresh, romance and inspire you. Located just nine minutes from Joshua Tree National Park , 40 minutes from Palm Springs or 135 miles from LA.
Best described as a mid-century temple with its cool white columns and dramatic architectural lines, it was designed and built by a visionary Los Angeles architect in 1960. Situated on three acres with dramatic views of mountain tops in every direction out of 16 sliding glass doors and windows, you'll feel as if you are floating above the earth - in style and comfort! The home is furnished with iconic vintage and reproduction furnishings and decor that fully embraces the home's modernist spirit including Barcelona chairs, Eames recliner, newly upolstered vintage sofas and more
. It's not just in Palm Springs or LA anymore!
Enter through the sleek steel double doors and you'll know instantly that you have never experienced another place quite like this. Polished concrete floors and three-sided fireplace will dazzle the eye. The home's dramatic split level living room is soulfully sophisticated. Wander in and out of the house through sliding glass doors onto wide patios to enjoy the soft breezes as you look out across spectacular layered views by day and open star-studded skies by night.
The kitchen, with its own fireplace, is designed for leisurely meals with friends and family with its wide open serving counters and even a convenient second bar sink. Vintage mosaic tiles cover the floating style cabinets, built far ahead of their time. Naturally, the fridge is large with ice-maker, new dishwasher and all the amenities. Patios extend from every door in every direction.
There are two large bedrooms. In the Master bedroom you can lie in bed and enjoy magnificent views from sliders on either side of the room while a cozy gas-log fire crackles in front of you. The spacious guest room has a view of the hills and neighboring horses. Both rooms have private entrances. There are also two large bathrooms with floor-to-ceiling mosaic tiles and floating cabinets and counters.
Meander out to the gazebo to take in the entire desert landscape, the amazing sunsets and perhaps a meteor shower! Take a gentle walk around the beautiful grounds or venture down the dirt road through unspoiled acres of Joshua trees.
