Zendo House · Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room

Summary:

A rare saltwater pool, a hot tub under star-filled skies and expansive desert views surround Zendo House, a Wabi Sabi-inspired home among iconic Joshua Trees. Natural beauty meets modern comfort throughout, with three king bedrooms and a game room lounge with air hockey. Spend the days beside the pool, the evenings around the fire pit, and the mornings slow and quiet in the desert.

Zendo House follows the principles of Wabi Sabi design, celebrating natural textures, organic materials and understated elegance. Warm wood tones, stone surfaces and clean architectural lines create a calm atmosphere, and large windows frame the desert while filling the home with natural light.

-Outdoor Amenities-

The backyard has one of the area's few saltwater pools, along with an oversized in-ground hot tub for soaking after a day in Joshua Tree National Park. Native desert landscaping and iconic Joshua Trees surround the property, which feels private and expansive while staying close to town. Lounge poolside, share a meal at the outdoor table for eight or gather around the large fire pit. The dedicated yoga space, with six mats provided, is set up for morning movement or meditation, and clear desert skies make sunsets and stargazing a nightly event. The yard is not fully fenced, so the desert landscape stays part of the view.



-Living Area-

The living room is open and inviting, with comfortable seating, desert views and large windows that fill it with natural light. After a day of hiking or browsing local shops, stream a show on the smart TV or play music throughout the home on the Sonos system. Minimalist Wabi Sabi furnishings keep the space calm while leaving plenty of room for a group.

The game room lounge is a second place to gather, with an oversized sectional in front of a large smart TV, its own mini split AC and an air hockey table for friendly competition or a movie night.



-Kitchen and Dining-

The fully equipped kitchen is the heart of the home, with stone countertops, modern appliances and a large serving window that opens directly to the patio. Nonstick cookware, bakeware, serving dishes and glassware are all provided, and coffee lovers can choose between a drip coffee maker, French press, grinder and electric kettle. An extra wine and beverage fridge keeps drinks cold. The dining area seats eight and flows into both the living room and the outdoor dining space, which suits shared meals and celebrations.



-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-

All three bedrooms have a king gel memory foam mattress and a smart TV. The primary suite has direct access to the pool area and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and a large soaking tub with desert views. The second bedroom has a large closet, and the third is a quiet, restful room.

There are two full bathrooms: the primary ensuite and a hall bathroom that serves the other two bedrooms.
