Shelter \ Joshua Tree \ California

Nestled among the scenic rocky boulders located just one mile from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, sits 2 nearly identical new homes. Both modern homes each have 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open concept living/dining area and a stunning deck and hot tub perfectly situated to take in the spectacular surrounding views of the desert. Blending into the natural surroundings, the homes offer a nod to the mid-century style, and are artfully finished, each with slightly different takes on dessert decor. Having thought of every convenience both inside and outside the home, it is the perfect retreat for couples or families to take in the desert at any time of year.
