The property has no immediate neighbors, enhancing the profound sense of solitude. Flat-top mesas abound — including those in the nearby Sand to Snow National Monument. Hiking and stargazing are truly world-class in this desirable Pipes Canyon locale.

As seen in Travel + Leisure and Wallpaper Magazine, it offers stunning views in a serene location. Designer Jeremy Levine wanted to maximize the view from every room, creating a seamless flow from the house into nature. This iconic eco-friendly Pipes Canyon home is the perfect place for couples, friends, or families, with a spacious layout, impressive desert surroundings, and a pool and hot tub.

"Inspired by this beautiful natural landscape, the architect composed a home that acts as a flagship for sustainable living, both in terms of its building methods and its connection with its surroundings" - Wallpaper Magazine

" In order to minimize disturbance to the desert’s delicate ecosystem, the structure was designed with a zero-waste system with assembly akin to that of a giant erector set. This dramatically reduced the overall amount of construction waste and build time." - DesignBoom Magazine

✦✦ ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS ✦✦
Visitors come to the High Desert for its unique landscape, culture, and recreational opportunities, as well as for the weather - hot and dry summers and mild winters at our high altitude. Joshua Tree and the communities surrounding the Joshua Tree National Park include Flamingo Heights, Pioneertown, Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Landers. You’ll be close to all the action. Some of our favorite options available to you:

–Joshua Tree National Park: 800,000 acres of mystical beauty - Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures. Sweeping, grand in scale and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations. This quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.

–Pioneertown: Step back in time to thus rustic Old West-style village. Wander through the historic buildings, visit unique shops, catch a live music performance at Pappy & Harriets, and experience the Wild West charm.

• The Integratron: New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.
