The Art House

Views / privacy / pet-friendly / big screen movies

The Art House is a thoughtfully restored 1950s desert home surrounded by hundreds of miles of uninterrupted Mojave views. Set on 2.5 fenced acres, this two-bedroom retreat features freestanding soaking tubs, a hot tub, cowboy pool, outdoor cinema, and inspiring design details.

Good to Know

Originally built as a homesteader cabin, The Art House has been lovingly expanded into a 1,900-square-foot creative refuge. Every space blends comfort and personality—from its reclaimed wood dining tables to its panoramic windows framing miles of desert and mountain views.

Inside:

Two king bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and deep freestanding tub

Queen sofa bed in the wood-paneled living room

Fully equipped kitchen with electric stove, dishwasher, and essentials

Large dining area and daybed facing a 20-foot wall of glass

Reliable Wi-Fi, desks, and workspace

Mini splits and ceiling fans throughout

Outside:

Hot tub overlooking desert sunsets

8-ft cowboy pool (open year-round for cooling off in the summer and cold plunges in the colder months)

Outdoor cinema with projector and lounge seating

Firepit + propane BBQ

Multiple patios with custom reclaimed dining tables

Fenced yard with native desert landscaping

A home filled with character, light, and warmth, created to inspire and restore.
