Situated in one of Yucca Valley's most scenic areas, this Moroccan-inspired home is one of the gems of the desert. Enter through a large gate providing absolute privacy, walk through dense desert landscaping & past our tiled fountain and through a blue antique door that leads you to the home’s dramatic entryway. Inside, the open floor plan is accented by stunning handmade tiles and is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows bringing in bright natural light throughout the day. The living room, beautifully enhanced with handmade merino wool pillows from north Argentina, is the best place to enjoy the breathtaking sunsets or your favorite book.
Indoor flows seamlessly with the outdoor. The central courtyard serves as the home’s desert lounge with endless stargazing and entertaining opportunities.

-ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS-
Visitors come to the High Desert for its unique landscape, culture, and recreational opportunities, as well as for the weather - hot and dry summers and mild winters at our high altitude. Joshua Tree and the communities surrounding the Joshua Tree National Park include Flamingo Heights, Pioneertown, Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Landers. You’ll be close to all the action at Moroccan Swim House. Some of our favorite options available to you:
–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. Sweeping, grand in scale 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.
–Pioneertown: Step back in time to thus rustic Old West-style village. Wander through the historic buildings, visit unique shops, catch a live music performance at Pappy & Harriets, and experience the Wild West charm.
