Property Description

In South Joshua Tree, close to downtown and minutes from the National Park entrance, this three-bedroom, two-bath home has been rebuilt from the studs with a level of material focus that is rarely seen in the desert. The living room is grounded by a brick-arched hearth, setting the tone for soft curves and natural textures throughout. The kitchen continues that language with entirely custom cabinetry, concealed hardware, an integrated refrigerator, professional-grade appliances, and a curved vent wall finished in mosaic tile. Every surface and junction feels intentionally made.Each bedroom offers its own atmosphere. The primary is quiet and minimal, with built-in storage and windows placed to capture morning light and views of native trees. The second bedroom is simple and grounded, shaped by warm textures and clean storage with a huge picture window to the backyard. The third is fully wrapped in cork and moody, forming an acoustically soft lounge or guest room with a rich, intimate tone.Baths extend the home's material clarity. The primary features a carved red-marble vanity and a sunken concrete soaking tub set beneath a circular window framing the landscape. The secondary bath offers a calm, textural composition with the same restraint and precision, but it's own point of view.Outside, gabion walls, mature trees, layered paths, and shaded seating create a protected garden designed for light, sky, and quiet. Ideal as a design-focused primary residence, second home, or elevated short-term rental defined by its craftsmanship, its material integrity, and its connection to place.
