Set high on nearly six acres, this newly completed four-bedroom residence occupies one of Joshua Tree's great desert settings. Its elevation opens the property to views in every direction, from sunrise over Joshua Tree National Park to sunsets across the valley, with extraordinary light by day and truly dark skies at night. Designed by award-winning architect and desert modernist Mark W. Daniels, AIA, the house is precise, substantial and deeply considered. Long horizontal forms follow the land, while smooth stucco, polished concrete floors and broad walls of glass keep the horizon present throughout the interior.The central great room brings living, dining and a custom kitchen into one generous space, opening directly to an exceptional in-ground pool and spa. The water, architecture and landscape were conceived together, making the pool terrace integral to the house rather than an addition to it. Four ensuite bedrooms provide unusual privacy and flexibility, each with its own relationship to the light and views.Outside, the experience unfolds across a series of beautifully resolved spaces. A linear architectural fire feature, outdoor cinema, outdoor shower and areas for dining and gathering sit within thoughtful desert landscaping framed by large, mature olive trees. The rooftop terrace is a destination of its own, with a 360-degree panorama across the national park, mountains and open desert. A substantial carport, finished to the same architectural standard as the residence, provides generous covered parking and storage. Municipal water and underground power deliver modern infrastructure without utility lines crossing the views.Private, newly built and remarkably complete, the home is equally convincing as an exceptional second residence and a distinctive hospitality property. It has never been operated as a rental, giving a new owner the opportunity to introduce it to Joshua Tree's design-led vacation market for the first time. Nearly six acres, four private suites, a remarkable pool and in-ground spa, panoramic views and architecture of this caliber make it a singular Joshua Tree offering.
