Perched in the desert hills of Joshua Tree, this elegant home has been designed with luxurious and effortless outdoor living in mind. A rustic path leads to a secluded cowboy tub with a view of the distant mountains. Choose to relax on sun loungers set up for the view, or cool off on the shaded outdoor sofa. The fire-pit and the Jacuzzi banish any hint of a post-sunset chill so you can stay out under the stars. An outdoor shower from the master suite means you can wake up in the morning in the most invigorating way. The floor-to-ceiling windows let natural light flood the living room, and if you're lucky you might spot curious bobcats investigating the grounds as you kick back on the corner sofa. Both chic bedrooms have lofty glass panes that lead directly to patios so you will awake to those breathtaking desert views.
