~Living Area~
A spacious sunken living room has been designed to feel as if you are nestled amongst the ancient boulders. The floor to ceiling windows give sight to jagged mountain peaks and the symphony of vibrant sunset colors. The modern fireplace is framed by a 13’ high rock wall while tongue and groove ash ceilings and custom built-ins provide an element of comfort and warmth.
~Kitchen & Dining~
The chef's kitchen features a huge picture window looking straight into some of the most beautiful peaks in the National Park and is framed with classic Heath Ceramic tile. The kitchen is fully stocked with high-end appliances, ample counter space and everything you will need to prepare the perfect meal. The open concept design ensures you can chat with friends and family in the living area while crafting your culinary masterpiece.
The dining table inside seats 6 with seating for 4 at the breakfast bar. You may also choose to dine under the stars on a large outdoor table adjacent to the BBQ grill, overlooking all of Joshua Tree.
~Bedrooms & Bathrooms~
Skyfall has been designed with privacy in mind and accommodates up to four guests. The primary bedroom is located just off the main living area, with an ensuite bathroom, an outdoor shower and a private patio space. The second bedroom is in a nearby detached casita a few feet off the main house and has a private ensuite bathroom as well. It is also equipped with a kitchenette, complete with a coffee maker, under counter refrigerator and ice maker perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail on the casita's attached private patio.
Both bedrooms offer king-sized beds with high-end mattresses, Parachute linens, and luxury goose feather down pillows and duvets. Each bedroom is artfully decorated with custom wallpaper from celebrity photographer Don Flood of FliePaper, and photography from Kate Ballis’ Infra Realism series is highlighted in the primary bedroom. Both bathrooms feature walk-in showers accented with Heath Ceramic tile, Brizo rain shower fixtures, Parachute towels and Public Goods body products.
~Outdoor Space~
Immerse yourself in the healing waters of the inground saltwater pool or unwind in the spa while enjoying the expansive desert vistas.
As night falls, the magic of the desert sky comes alive. The lack of city lights allows for unparalleled stargazing opportunities. Lay out under the vast canopy of stars or gather around the fire pit and marvel at the cosmos.
~Right Next to Joshua Tree National Park~
800,000 acres of mystical beauty: Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures, and at Skyfall, it is just outside of your doorstep. Sweeping, grand, and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations, this quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.
~Honoring Ancestral Land~
We acknowledge that this magical place we get to call home, Skyfall, rests on sacred ancestral land. Please join us in acknowledging and honoring the earth spirits and original stewards of this land as we open our hearts to hear their prayers and receive their ancient wisdom. So that we may weave a world rooted in respect, dignity and peace. For all.
