Blending into the boulders, this custom off-grid home is nothing short of rustic paradise on 10 acres. Newly constructed with utmost sensitivity for land and views, it borders the preserved Sand to Snow National Monument in coveted Pipes Canyon and rewards from every stunning angle. Restrained minimal architecture and honest craftsmanship show reverence for a timeless region the Serrano people called "Rocky Place." Through the wood gates, past the undisturbed Joshua Trees, the welcoming sight of a hand-stained cedar exterior and steep rooflines covered in Corten steel conjure late 1800s homesteads of the mining town of Bodie. Airy interiors reflect the rugged-chic spirit of Sundance Lodge, revealing authentic details from salvaged beams to cedar-plank walls. Through steel-framed windows, sunrises and sunsets paint the sky. Evenings beckon with a book by the wood stove. Open dining adjoins top-of-the-line kitchen with prep pantry, Italian cabinetry and wood-look leathered Quartzite island. Dual ensuite bedroom suites open to private patios and a 2-car garage with HVAC is flex space for a studio or home gym. Rest in the deep shade of the porch or hike and bike into pristine terrain piled with high nature's displays. Bird and animal life share these classic western landscapes in a peace-laden pocket where a global arts scene soaks up the sacred energy. New private solar, septic and high-volume well serve this independent property in a perfect balance of land-honoring and luxury.
