A secondary lounge space off the living room offers a large smart TV, a collection of board games, a record player and large record collection to help set the vibe, and a queen Murphy bed for extra sleeping accommodations.

-Outdoor Amenities-
Step outside and experience the magic of Stargate’s expansive outdoor setting. The stunning glass container pool (heating available in cooler months for additional fee) is built directly into the 2,500 square foot wraparound wooden deck, creating a seamless blend of form and function—perfect for a refreshing dip by day or a heated soak under the stars. The deck itself doubles as a yoga platform, offering plenty of room for group movement, meditation, or simply lounging with a view. Nearby, a propane fire pit invites cozy gatherings as the sun dips behind the mountains. For outdoor meals, a large dining table comfortably seats up to 12 guests, positioned near the propane BBQ grill for effortless alfresco feasting. Every angle of the outdoor space reveals sweeping views of Joshua trees and the majestic snowcapped mountains to the north. Every inch of the outdoor space is designed to cultivate calm, connection, and unforgettable desert moments.

-Surrounding Area-
Perched on a gentle slope in northern Yucca Valley, Stargate offers some of the best panoramic views in the region—especially to the north, where the distant San Bernardino Mountains rise dramatically and often wear a cap of snow in winter months. The landscape surrounding the home is dotted with mature Joshua trees, desert flora, and wide-open sky. While incredibly private, you’re only a short drive from the gates of Joshua Tree National Park, and the local shops, restaurants, and art galleries of both Old Town Yucca Valley, Pioneertown and Joshua Tree.
