Completed in 2021 with meticulous attention to detail, the property blends minimalist design with natural warmth. The main house centers around an open living space anchored by a sculptural fireplace and a custom Heath-tiled kitchen and baths, while a dramatic natural rock wall and expansive glass capture the ever-shifting desert light. A detached guest house and additional studio offer flexible space for guests, creative work, or quiet retreat. Set on over two acres, the grounds feature a private pool and spa with some of the most captivating views in the desert, an outdoor shower, multiple seating areas, a fire pit, and sculptural desert landscaping designed for connection and calm.
