What makes this property unique

Casa del Rio is a modern desert escape set on a private 20-acre parcel in Joshua Tree, where design, serenity, and wide-open space come together. Built as a contemporary prefab Connect Home, the house blends clean architectural lines with panoramic views of the mountains and endless sky. It’s the kind of place where sunrise feels cinematic, the night sky feels infinite, and every corner invites you to slow down.

Guests love it because everything about the property is intentional. The home’s floor-to-ceiling windows frame the desert landscape, bringing the outside in. A large wraparound deck flows into an outdoor living area with a pool and spa, a Baja shelf for lounging in the water, hammocks for stargazing, and an outdoor kitchen for cooking under the sky. The design makes the entire 20 acres feel like your own private resort.

Inside, the home offers a refined, minimalist layout with two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, warm wood accents, and thoughtful touches throughout. It’s comfortable, calm, and built for people who appreciate both nature and modern design.

What makes Casa del Rio unique
• A truly private 20-acre property with unobstructed 360° desert and mountain views
• A modern Connect Homes prefab design rarely found as a vacation rental in Joshua Tree
• Resort-style outdoor living: pool, spa, Baja shelf, deck, grill area, hammocks, and lounging zones
• Incredible stargazing with near-zero light pollution (you even provide a telescope for guests)
• Carefully curated interiors and amenities designed for comfort, style, and ease
• A peaceful location that still keeps you close to Joshua Tree National Park, restaurants, and shops

Casa del Rio is a place to disconnect, slow down, and enjoy the desert at its purest. Whether guests come for relaxation, celebration, adventure, or time with friends and family, the experience feels personal, elevated, and unforgettable.
