Tuscan Landscaping meets Nordic Design in the Mojave Desert: Exquisite custom designed home sited on 10-Acres. Carefully utilized topography hides this exclusive home and pool, delivering ultimate privacy. The house is sunken into the side of a hill to achieve a rare combination of unmatched privacy and limitless views – including the ridgelines of the National Park to the south and the shimmering lights at dusk of the village of Joshua Tree in the distance below. The entire exterior is clad in white standing seam metal siding, for near perpetual preservation without the need for regular upkeep against the desert heat and cold. Small otherwise hidden features, such as beautifully integrated gutters, for example, blend seamlessly into the exterior, protecting the home by directing water away from the residence during heavy rain, to name only one of countless carefully thought-out touches on this modest understated masterpiece. The massive 8’ x 6’ glass pivot entry door is another element that disappears into the hidden tapestry of the architectural design features. Glass in every room illuminates the interior, while the bamboo patio cover in a rusted metal frames provide shade from the sun, a motif repeated down by the custom plunge pool that juts out of a hillside like a white modern cube. Atop the property, one enters via a winding stone paved driveway lined with cypress trees. An olive grove (in its infancy) inspired by the Tuscan countryside, blends seamlessly with the natural desert. The wraparound patio, featuring an outdoor wood burning fireplace, a 20’ length fountain and built-in gas grill, is surrounded on 3-sides by 8’ retaining walls, drawing your focus away from the house to the sublime views in the distance. Two additional large platforms, one with a fire pit for lounging with friends, and another surrounded by rustic stone walls and tall grasses for relaxing outdoors. Interior features include ceilings ranging from 9’ at the rooms’ edges to a soaring 20’ beam running the length of the house. While the guest bedroom has a modest footprint, it feels roomy with the 20’ ceiling at the center. The en suite primary includes a soaking bathtub and rain shower, complete with a pocket door that opens to an additional outdoor shower for those days when you just feel like stepping out. The open plan living room and kitchen is divided by a 9’ waterfall edge marble topped island. Quintessential indoor/outdoor living of the highest standard. Schedule a Private Showing
