Get off-grid at this boho chic home in the middle of the desert, built with eco friendly principles in mind and powered by the sun. The interior has been designed to let the natural breeze keep things cool, and thick stone walls give it a Spanish feel. Potted cacti are dotted around the living room, where a rustic wood-burning stove keeps the desert chill away at night. A stunning, white stone breakfast bar creates plenty of prep space in the kitchen, where you can rustle up meals after days exploring the desert. After dining from the beautiful earthenware crockery, head outside to do some stargazing from the sofas. There's also a hammock strung up on the shaded porch, where you can look out over endless sky and rugged landscapes from morning until night. You'll feel perfectly at peace here, but if you'd like to add a little excitement into the mix, then the live music bars and shops of historic Pioneertown are only a ten minute drive away.
