Property Description

Honeymoon House: 1940's rock house & guest house nestled amongst mature olive, mesquite, eucalyptus, palo verde and desert willow trees. Located close to the Joshua Tree National Park. Local historians recount the origin of this loved-up desert retreat.
 
 A remodel, modernizing while retaining the dwelling's character. The kitchen is punctuated by desert purple. The custom bathroom is a work of art, a desert rock waterfall above a bath, a sunken rainfall shower with a rock and curved glass block surround, a daybed, double sinks and bidet. The bronze door entry sets are from Rocky Mountain Hardware; the cabinets feature cast bronze torc pulls from a Dublin foundry. The witty artisan sconces are made of coke bottles and rusted tin cans: the floor and sink tops are cast concrete in bitter chocolate. A rock slab seat anchors the sage green timber for privacy. A glue chip glass door leads to the guest house. Sliding timber pocket screens allow selected views of the yard's plantings and vistas. Leaded glass sash window panels, using candy-colored found glass artifacts.
 
 Private courtyard with fireplace. Adobe bench seating and a lush feature tree offset by a huge rose quartz boulder. Ideal place to enjoy desert evenings or to sleep under the stars.
