Ocotillo House — An Iconic Turnkey Desert Retreat in Joshua Tree.
Set on over two acres in a sought-after pocket of northern Joshua Tree, Ocotillo House is a striking architectural escape that captures the raw beauty of the hi-desert through thoughtful design, panoramic views, and seamless indoor-outdoor living—this private estate offers rare tranquility just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park and the town’s vibrant shops, cafes, and cultural scene.
A striking custom-designed front door sets the tone for what lies within—clean, modern lines balanced by organic materials and panoramic desert views. Inside, every room is oriented to frame the horizon, with expansive picture windows and an 18-foot sliding glass wall inviting in 180-degree vistas and blurring the boundaries between indoors and out. The open-concept interior is grounded in natural textures and refined desert minimalism, creating a warm, inviting environment that feels effortlessly luxurious.
From the living area, the space flows into the chef’s kitchen, which pairs elegant form with everyday function. Premium stainless steel appliances, open shelving, and a generous island make the kitchen equally suited for preparing intimate dinners or hosting large gatherings. One of the home’s most unique features is a dramatic 30-foot climbing wall that runs the length of the main hallway—an architectural and recreational centerpiece that speaks to the spirit of adventure embedded in the property’s design.
The primary suite is a serene sanctuary with a king bed, spa-like bath, and private outdoor shower. Two additional guest bedrooms—one king, one queen—open directly to the pool and share an outdoor shower. A flexible fourth room offers space for guests or a dedicated home office, perfect for remote work.
Outside, the grounds invite you to relax or explore: a heated saltwater pool and spa, sunken fire pit, bocce court, four-hole disc golf course, pergola with propane grill and dining area, and a hammock circle positioned for stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California. Drought tolerant landscaping blends effortlessly with the natural terrain.
Additional features include a two-car covered carport with EV charging, Starlink internet, and zoned ductless climate control throughout. Whether as a luxury rental, weekend retreat, or full-time residence, Ocotillo House offers an inspired, turnkey vision of desert living—modern, soulful, and entirely its own.
