Property Description

A design-forward desert retreat where architecture, privacy and proven rental performance converge. Set on approximately one acre in Joshua Tree, this newly built 3-bedroom residence pairs a refined, minimalist aesthetic with construction designed for the realities of the desert. Based on 2026 YTD performance through August, the property is tracking toward approximately $208,000 in projected gross rental revenue for 2026, offering a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking both a personal desert escape and an established income-producing property. Built using Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIP), the shell contains no traditional wood framing and was engineered for exceptional durability, energy efficiency, fire resistance and reduced exterior noise. The structure was further reinforced with extensive rebar, while a standing-seam metal roof over a two-inch aggregate cement base adds another layer of long-term resilience.Inside, the material palette feels closer to a boutique desert hotel than a conventional vacation rental. Venetian plaster, artisanal Portola Paint accents, Italian terrazzo flooring, Italian tile and custom oak cabinetry create a warm, restrained interior. The sculptural three-dimensional kitchen island is finished in premium Dekton and complemented by Fisher & Paykel panel-ready refrigeration and dishwasher, a Bosch electric convection range, Blanco sink, Baldwin hardware and Delta Trinsic fixtures. Custom-built beds and headboards complete both suites. Outside, fabricated metal fencing frames the property while the pool and expansive desert setting create the indoor-outdoor experience Joshua Tree buyers come for. Architecturally distinctive, highly finished and already demonstrating substantial rental demand, this is a turnkey Joshua Tree property designed to function equally well as a private desert residence, creative retreat or income-producing escape.
