The property is located at the end of a private drive tucked into the lush desert landscape. As you approach the space you will be greeted by a giant weeping Joshua Tree that directs visitors toward the on site Tesla Charger. Upon entering you'll find a fully stocked kitchen and ample living space.
A retractable 8x20 foot wall of glass offers sweeping views of the valley below and surrounding desert flora. To the northwest you have 45+ acres of undeveloped desert which gives you a sense of being "out there" while still only being 5 minutes from town.
Inside you will find a space that was meticulously designed with comfort in mind from the king size Tuft and Needle bed to the vintage chesterfield couch in the living room. Unwind after a long day of hiking in the 6 person hot tub and marvel at the elusive sight of the Milky Way. When it finally comes time to retire, premium down pillows and parachute bedding will have you sleeping in and late for any excursions you may have the next day.
*Please inquire about our Edge Theory Cold Plunge system if you would like to add a cold plunge tank to your stay.
The Location: Close to town for essentials and exploration but secluded enough to experience complete serenity.
