This 1,666-sqft modern new construction, built to honor that stillness, is positioned perfectly to capture forever-vistas that sweep from the rugged local ridgelines all the way to the snow-capped peaks of the San Bernardino Mountains. It is the rare sort of place that works equally well as a sophisticated full-time residence, a turnkey vacation getaway, or a high-end STR for those looking to offer a truly elevated Mojave experience.

The kitchen shines with sleek Bosch appliances, Moroccan Zellige tile, quartz counters, and plenty of storage – a chef’s dream. A dramatic, long gallery hallway provides a sense of transition as you move toward the primary bedroom. That retreat is a standout, featuring an en suite bath with accent wall and vanity finished in hand-applied Roman clay and massive walk-in shower that feels more like a private spa. Each bedroom is intentionally sized for a king bed, accented by designer wall sconces and thoughtful closet space.

Spend mornings in the built-in sauna, rinsing off under the outdoor shower, before sunbathing in a lounge on the expansive patio. Evenings are for stargazing in the hammocks and gathering around the fire pit (featuring custom-poured concrete seating) cradled between two of the property’s most majestic Joshua Trees. There’s even a large organ perched in the landscape – A nod toward the surreal art-house spirit that makes this area so iconic. With Starlink connectivity and a Tesla charger already installed, the home is fully modern and ready for immediate use. And with 8-acres to play with, there is more than enough room to drop in a pool, spa, and ADU to complete the ultimate desert compound.
