Set against the hills of Yucca Valley and oriented toward the rugged landscape of Joshua Tree National Park, this recently built contemporary modern residence was designed by acclaimed Los Angeles architecture and interiors firm Chu—Gooding. Known for thoughtful, highly crafted spaces and a sophisticated approach to materiality and interior architecture, the firm brings a distinctly architectural sensibility to this intimate desert retreat. Set on 5 acres, the 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is filled with natural light and framed by oversized windows and a dramatic three-panel sliding glass door that opens the living space to expansive desert views. The sleek European-inspired kitchen features a generous island with breakfast bar and flows seamlessly into the spacious living room. An architectural block wall separates the kitchen from the primary bath, where a walk-in shower and luxury fixtures create a refined, minimalist feel. The generous primary suite features jumbo sliders on two sides, opening directly to the covered porch and the desert beyond. Designed for indoor/outdoor living, the porch is an ideal setting for morning yoga, coffee, a cold plunge, an outdoor hot shower, or a sunset glass of wine. A second half bath, separate laundry room, and additional storage complete the thoughtful layout. Outside, the expansive 5-acre parcel offers exceptional privacy and ample room for future development, subject to buyer verification. The property is currently an ACTIVE SHORT-TERM RENTAL with a City of Yucca Valley STR permit, TRANSFERABLE TO THE NEW OWNER (buyer to verify). Small, design-forward luxury cabins in the Joshua Tree area can offer strong appeal as short-term rental investments, making this an especially compelling opportunity for an investor seeking an architecturally distinctive property with additional land and future potential. A rare combination of architecture, expansive desert views, and five acres of space, just minutes from the natural beauty and creative energy of Joshua Tree.
