If you have ever been to Joshua Tree National Park, you know just how unique and wondrous this desert is, from the looming mountains to the giant boulders to the strangely beautiful trees that give this place its name. A trip to the Southern California desert - whether on a scenic drive, hiking, camping, or staying in a nearby hotel or rental - is a remarkable experience. But the place I am about to show you, the Invisible House in Joshua Tree, CA, is the most exceptional desert getaway I can imagine.

The Invisible House is a literal work of art in the Southern California desert, and is appropriately described as “the most unique desert home on the planet.”

The entire outside of the house is reflective causing it to absorb and reflect its surroundings so that it virtually disappears into the natural landscape.

This 5,000-square-foot retreat sits on a 90-acre private land parcel on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. The property has its very own 4,000-foot mountain peak, hiking trails through the area’s iconic boulders, and is just a 5-minute drive to the National Park entrance.

This one-of-a-kind home has been featured in music videos, publications, and TV shows. It boasts stylish, minimalist design and decor that combines comfort with a focus on connecting with nature.

The open-plan living space features a gourmet kitchen high-end appliances, a 13-foot dining table with boulder views, designer sitting areas and main living room space, and a 100-foot heated indoor pool. Amenities include heating and air conditioning, fast WiFi, a washer and dryer, and everything you need to cook a great meal.

From almost every spot in the house, guests have an unobstructed view of the breathtaking desert environment, including every sunset on one side and every sunrise on the other.

The Invisible House sleeps up to eight guests. There are three bedrooms in the main house as well as one bedroom in a detached casita. Bedrooms feature king-size Tempur-Pedic beds, premium linens and bedding, and remote-controlled blackout shades.

Each bedroom in the home enjoys a modern, spa-like en suite bathroom with a waterfall shower. There is also a full bath in the common area and one in the casita.

Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors throughout the house encourage guests to bring the outdoors in and fully immerse themselves in the Joshua Tree environs.

Fully controllable multi-colored LED lighting throughout allows guests to customize the lighting and mood of the house and pool.

Joshua Tree is one of the most spectacular places in the state for stargazing, and the Invisible House makes the most of it. The barbecue grill even transforms into a fire pit to stay warm outdoors while enjoying the night sky.
