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.

The Graham Residence \ Joshua Tree \ USA

,

This modern, 2 bedroom home is located in Rock Reach, a private community of 320 acres near Joshua Tree characterized by expanses of heavily weathered boulders, along with ancient junipers, stunted desert oaks and resilient piñon pines. The extensive use of glass in the beautiful home is ideal for taking in the panoramic views of the untouched surrounding high desert. The main area is open concept, allowing guests to share the living space, dining area and kitchen that opens via a wall of sliding glass doors onto the large deck. Beautifully furnished in Mid-Century decor, it is the ultimate space to relax and take in the expansive views. The unique design of the Blue Sky Building Systems Prefab home allows the steel and glass home to be "placed" within the boulder valley, creating a unique hideaway that absolutely must be experienced.
