Large windows frame the surrounding desert and mountains, filling the home with natural light and bringing the outdoors into view. Additional features include evaporative cooling, connected electricity and public water, propane, and a conventional septic system.

The Joshua Tree homestead cabin that started it all.

Buffered by BLM land on its western edge—preserving the spectacular sunset view. The cabin has a full kitchen and bath, plus a uniquely designed outdoor shower/outhouse A-frame cabana. A greenhouse structure on the property allows an opportunity to garden. A privacy screen constructed from weathered wood matches the cabin’s original green paint, instantly recognizable from hundreds of instagram images.
