About This Home
As of April 2025This exceptional house epitomizes the unique intersection of art, architecture, and the natural environment: essences that define Joshua Tree today. Designed by renowned artist Alma Allen as his home and studio, the residence is anchored to the desert landscape by two massive hand-built stone walls. Entry is through a compressed passage, which dramatically opens up to reveal a private inner sanctuary. The home unfolds around the large courtyard, with each room flowing out into the quiet outdoor space. From the courtyard, a generous living, dining, and kitchen area bathed in natural light unfolds, offering sweeping views of the surrounding boulders. The main bedroom suite is adjacent to the living space for comfort and convenience. At the opposite end of the courtyard, two additional bedrooms, each with ensuite baths, are privately tucked away, ensuring the main suite remains an intimate retreat. Additionally, a versatile den or office space features a wall of glass, providing beautiful views of the desert valley beyond. Alma Allen's artistic influence is evident throughout, with custom-designed cabinet pulls and metalwork. Located adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park, the home sits on over 14 acres spread across three parcels of land, ensuring privacy and proximity to the park. The property also includes a large Quonset structure. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial parcel of land adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park, offering a unique combination of artistic legacy, architectural distinction, and exceptional privacy
