Summary:
Your group splits up for the day, some on the pickleball court, some on the full-court basketball court, some trading the sauna for the cold plunge, and finds each other again at the in-ground pool. After dark, the outdoor movie screen lights up within view of the hot tub, and the fire pit gets going. Moonstone Bungalow is two homes on one fully fenced 2.3-acre lot: a 3,000+ sq ft main house with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and a 1,100 sq ft casita with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.
The Space:
Moonstone Bungalow is two homes on a 2.3-acre fully fenced lot: a main house with more than 3,000 square feet of living space and an 1,100 square foot casita. Large windows frame desert and mountain views, and the sun room lounge has its own award-winning design. Between the courts, the pool, the outdoor movie setup and the game room, there is something going on in every corner, which makes it a natural fit for large families, reunions and groups of friends.

-Outdoor Amenities-
The yard is set up for long days outside. Cool off in the in-ground pool, which has its own bathroom with a shower close by, then move to the private hot tub, where you can watch the outdoor movie from the water. The sauna and cold plunge sit side by side for hot and cold sessions. The cold plunge is drained, cleaned and left empty before every stay, and you can fill it with the hose nearby; ice is not provided, so pick up a few bags (about 50 lbs) at a local grocery store if you plan to use it.
The pickleball court and full-court basketball court keep competitive groups busy, and the outdoor movie theater with bean bag chairs takes over after dark. Gather around the custom fire pit and fireplace for stories and snacks, sway in the hanging hammocks or settle under the pergola in a hanging chair. The 2.3-acre lot is fully fenced.
-Living Area-
The main house has open living areas with large windows that look out to the desert and mountains. The sun room lounge is a bright place for morning coffee, and the game room doubles as a second living room with an 8-ball pool table, shuffleboard and a massive couch for hanging out. The casita is a quieter, more private space with its own bedrooms and bathroom, and both the primary bedroom and the casita have a desk for remote work.
-Kitchen and Dining-
The fully equipped kitchen is built around a big custom concrete island, with room for several cooks and plenty of space for the group to gather. A dining area sits alongside, so big breakfasts and family-style dinners come together easily. It is a kitchen for groups that like to cook and eat together.
-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-
Across the two homes there are seven bedrooms. Five are in the main house and two are in the casita, with king beds in five of the rooms, two queen beds in one room and a double bed in another. The primary bedroom includes a dedicated desk.
The main house has three bathrooms, the casita has one, and a fifth bathroom with a shower sits in the pool area.
-Surrounding Area-
Joshua Tree National Park is a short drive away for hiking, climbing, scenic drives and sunsets among the boulders. Downtown Joshua Tree is even closer, with shops, restaurants, galleries and a golf course nearby. The wider area offers live music in Pioneertown, sound baths at the Integratron and wide-open desert under dark, starry skies.
