Desert RANE

Desert RANE was built in 2024 and sits on 2.5 private acres in Joshua Tree. You get wide open desert and mountain views and no close neighbors. It’s quiet out here, and that’s kind of the point.

Outside: The backyard is fully fenced and made for hanging out. There’s a private hot tub with a sunbathing deck, a bocce court, a gas BBQ grill, and a fire pit for after sunset. Stretch out on the oversized hammock bed, rinse off in the outdoor shower (hot and cold), and stay up for the stars. There’s very little light pollution here, so stargazing from the yard is excellent.

Inside: Modern designer finishes throughout. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there’s a coffee and tea pantry for your mornings. The living room has comfy seating, a smart TV with streaming, and a Sonos sound system. Each room has its own split system for heating and cooling, so everyone can set their own temperature.

Sleeping arrangements:

Primary bedroom: Queen bed with a private ensuite bathroom
Bunk room: Full-over-full bunk bed (sleeps 4)
Third bedroom: Two twin beds

There are two bathrooms in total.
