8989 Tortuga Trl Joshua Tree, CA

Contemporary Desert Masterpiece: Classic butterfly roof design with a 15' tall soaring eve gracing the front of this meticulous new construction. The tall eves, providing shaded outdoor space, when combined with a 15' wide disappearing sliding-glass wall create an authentic indoor/outdoor living experience. Step into the redwood hot tub out front, with a majestic boulder mountain, perfectly framed through the massive glass wall when viewed from inside the spacious Great Room. Formal entry is through an 8' tall by 4' wide pivot glass door. The custom kitchen showcases a massive quartz double waterfall island and hand-built cabinetry, allowing for an ideal social space with the dining area and kitchen filling out the rest of the Great Room. One reaches the en suite primary bedroom down a long glass encased hallway. The primary bedroom also features an unobstructed frameless cantilevered corner window utilized by Frank Lloyd Wright in the Ennis House built in the Hollywood Hills exactly a century ago. The primary bathroom features a nearly 6' by 10' massive window looking out at the mountain range to the south, while the guest bathroom has a door opening to an exterior platform, for a total of 3 full baths and 3 bedrooms spread over 2,287 square feet of interior living space. Inspired by midcentury design throughout, each room features endless glass, illuminating the interior and looking out over vast wilderness in every direction. Tucked up near the Joshua Tree National Park on a large 2.5-acre parcel, one can hike from home into the Park or drive to the main entrance gate a short distance up the road. Located in the coveted Monument Manor/Joshua Highlands neighborhood, often referred to as the Bel Air of Joshua Tree, the location offers privacy, prestige and convenience for those seeking serene wilderness surroundings.
