Purposefully designed and thoughtfully engineered, this private retreat sits on more than an acre in Joshua Tree's coveted Upper Friendly Hills, where uninterrupted 360-degree mountain and desert views become part of everyday living. Currently operating as a professionally managed luxury short-term rental, the property has generated approximately $75,000 in gross rental income year-to-date, offering buyers the rare opportunity to acquire a design-forward residence with an established operating history. (Buyer to independently verify income and operating expenses.)The architecture embraces simplicity, proportion, and light. A soaring great room with a dramatic skylight and vaulted ceilings anchors the home, while expansive glass blurs the line between indoors and out. Two private ensuite bedroom wings provide separation for owners and guests, creating a floor plan that feels equally suited for quiet weekends, extended stays, or entertaining. Unlike virtually every competing home in the area, the residence is constructed using Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIP), an advanced building system engineered for longevity rather than convention.

Venetian plaster walls, handmade custom oak cabinetry, Italian terrazzo flooring, imported tile, premium Dekton surfaces, and a sculptural custom kitchen island create an understated yet sophisticated aesthetic. Fisher & Paykel integrated appliances, a Bosch convection range, designer lighting, Baldwin hardware, and custom mirrors complete interiors that prioritize quality over trends. Outside, the property functions as a private boutique resort. A heated pool, seven-person Cal Spa, multiple outdoor entertaining spaces, and expansive desert skies create an atmosphere that feels worlds away while remaining just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, restaurants, galleries, and local attractions. Whether enjoying sunrise coffee, afternoon swims, or evenings beneath a canopy of stars, every space has been designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape.Modern infrastructure supports the architecture with owned solar, dual-zone high-efficiency heat pumps, EV charging, city water, fire sprinklers, and premium energy-efficient systems throughout.
