The space
Mars Landing is made for easy group trips where everyone gets their own space. With four ensuite bedrooms, you’ll have comfort and privacy built in, plus a layout that still feels connected.

The main living area is open, bright, and designed for hanging out, cooking, and slow mornings. A 30-foot glass door slides completely open, so the whole house flows right out to the pool deck and desert beyond. Views are everywhere.

Outdoor Living

This is the good stuff: swim in the sun, soak in the spa at sunset, then move to the fire pit when the temperature drops. The boulders, Joshua trees, and mountain backdrop make it feel cinematic, but still calm and private.

Entertainment + Amenities

A separate recreation area keeps the group entertained with ping pong and foosball, and Starlink makes it easy to work, stream, or stay connected without drama.

Quick Note on Road Noise

Please note the home is located just off a busier road, so you may hear some road noise when outside. It can be more noticeable on weekdays and just before and after holidays. For most guests it hasn’t been an issue.

The upside is the convenience. You’re close to shops, restaurants, and everything you’ll want to explore, which makes getting around easy.
