Sometimes pressures of modern living can get overwhelming – there’s nothing like a luxurious desert retreat to feel restored and serene once again. This gem nestled rather majestically on top of a hilltop, overlooking glorious vistas of the Joshua Tree mountains and valley is the perfect place for just such an occasion. Up here you’ll feel awed by the awesome beauty of nature, with starry nights, peace and quiet – and you’ll have all the comforts of a truly exceptional home to make your stay a restful and unforgettable one. Arrive to be welcomed by the strikingly designed exterior which hints at all the wonders to be found indoors. Enter to find a large open-plan space with spectacular views to be admired from every corner of the house. This is achieved by the huge windows and sliding glass doors which allow you to manipulate the space in accordance with your mood – whether you fancy an outdoor feast under the stars or a gathering with your friends and family at the indoor dining table. The outdoor space offers a gorgeous sanctuary, with a luxurious hot tub, plenty of comfy furnishings for those evening get-togethers, a fire pit, and, of course,... those views to be marvelled at. Fire up the grill and savour a delicious alfresco supper, as the moon begins to come up over the mountains. Back inside you can keep the entire party entertained with cosy movie nights in the snuggly lounge area or enjoy a round of pool in the game room – there’s even a bar area for mixing delicious cocktails. For a night of blissful sleep head to the plush bedrooms, each offering a soft king-size bed. Wake up refreshed and enjoy your breakfast while gazing at the ever-changing landscape and spectacular light.
