Set on a half-acre at the quiet end of a road in Friendly Hills, Desert Star offers a rare sense of peace at the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. At 3,500 feet in elevation, this Joshua Tree home enjoys cooler desert air, expansive night skies, and direct access to… Read More neighborhood hiking trails - an ideal setting for those seeking privacy, wildlife, and uninterrupted views. A collaboration between designer/builder Todd Patterson and Argentinian architect/artist Sol Sanchez, the property blends sculptural architecture with grounded, desert-informed materials. The main residence spans approximately 2,700 square feet complemented by a 160 square foot art studio. Six exterior patio spaces totaling 900 square feet extend the living experience outdoors including a shaded loggia garden, a sunken social patio, three reclaimed-beam pergolas, and a wood deck with two modern soaking tubs positioned for star-filled evenings. Inside, the layout features a pivot-door foyer entry, a generous great room anchored by a modern wood-burning stove, a formal living area, and a dedicated dining room. Three bedrooms each boast en-suite baths, alongside a well-placed powder room. The Japanese inspired kitchen is designed for both beauty and function, supported by a server and wine closet. Large format porcelain tile floors run through the main living areas, while new carpet softens the bedrooms. Systems are thoughtfully upgraded, including a 22-panel PV solar array, fiber optic internet, Nest thermostat, forced-air climate control, tankless LP water heater, water filtration system, new septic, and a SmartLock entry. A two-space carport, storage shed, dedicated future pool space, and an outdoor fire pit complete this Joshua Tree retreat. Read Less
