Escape to this mid-century modern oasis in the heart of the California desert, less than a mile from Joshua Tree National Park's west entrance and just five minutes from downtown Joshua Tree. Ideally positioned to enjoy both the serenity of this impressive landscape, as well as the luxuries of urban living, this idyllic home if ideal for those who want to spend a few days winding down, enjoying all that nature has to offer and taking in breathtaking desert views. Your host can provide all sorts of special services, from farm-fresh eggs delivered to your door to hiking guides, a professional chef, and even a sound bath. Yogis will likely spend a lot of time in the private studio, where a personal teacher can guide you through your practice. At night, we highly recommend sitting around the fire pit or soaking in the hot tub and gazing out at the dazzling night sky. Needless to say, this home is one for the ages.
