Just off the beaten path in beautiful and serene Joshua Tree awaits this stunning, one-of-a-kind desert dream home! Completed in late 2019 by Brian and Kathrin Smirke of the renowned design team 'We Are In Our Element' (of Dome in the Desert and Cabin Cabin Cabin fame), this gorgeous desert daydream doubles as a tremendously successful short-term rental with a transferable short-term rental permit. Take in some added income by renting it out, or plant seeds for your forever home in this eclectic, culturally rich, and happily booming desert community. Enjoy views for days and the most stars you've ever seen at night at this gorgeously appointed modern luxury home. Situated on almost an acre of pristine desert landscape, this is where wild bunnies, desert tortoises, roadrunners (meep! meep!) and other critters roam free. Fully tricked out with all of the modern conveniences you'd expect in a luxury desert property, including smart home amenities such as keypad entry, entry camera/doorbell, Nest thermostat, wifi-enabled 'hybrid' water heater, double-pane windows, and densely insulated walls & ceilings for added peace and quiet. Designer upgrades include custom concrete countertops, an entertainer's kitchen with large island, upgraded appliance package and outdoor gas grill, stained concrete floors, walk-in closets, and designer finishes throughout, all topped off with a premium metal roof for a sleek, modern look. Take a moonlit dip in the cedar hot tub, roast marshmallows over the gas firepit, stargaze from the oversized hammock behind rustic privacy fencing, or bliss out at the views that stretch to the mountain ranges in the distance. With the option to purchase this home furnished, all you need to bring is your toothbrush. It's gonna be so good!

Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
No earlier records were returned by our current sources. This does not mean the home has never sold.
