Villa Bajada—A Timeless Architectural Retreat in South Joshua Tree. Perched high up in Panorama Heights, just moments from the Joshua Tree National Park boundary, lies a home unlike any other—a meticulously hand-crafted sanctuary designed to harmonize with the raw beauty of the Mojave desert. Set on two contiguous parcels totaling 4.23 acres, this showplace offers iconic vistas and a connection to nature that feels both grounding and expansive. Built in 2007 with thoughtful precision, the home was envisioned as a seamless extension of the land itself. Its warm colors, organic materials, and sculptural geometry create a dialogue between structure and setting. Vaulted ceilings and expansive clerestory windows and glass doors draw in an ever-changing canvas of light, while monumental stone walls—carried from the exterior inward—anchor the space with a sense of permanence and place. The lofty stone-and-glass living room forms a dramatic focal point, with astonishing desert views, fireplace and integrated art alcove. In the kitchen, custom-built cabinetry and a walk-in pantry provide ample storage, while striated granite countertops bring an organic elegance. A breakfast bar, dining area and built-in dry bar with a wine fridge lend to effortless entertainment. The primary bedroom features its own fireplace, private entrance, and a built-in bookcase. In the bathroom, the nature-inspired shower soars toward a skylight, and a private door leads directly to the outdoor spa, inviting moonlit dips and morning rituals under open skies. Surrounding the home, multiple patios and lush native landscaping create outdoor living spaces that are as intentional as the interiors, accented with sculptures by Simi Dabah. Adding even more potential, the property includes a nearly complete pool house pavilion with permitted in-ground pool, a 1,108 square foot flex space, bathroom, art studio, and additional garage—an opportunity to nearly double the living space with the original contractor still available and permit active. With features such as automatic roll-down shutters, central HVAC, paid solar panels with net metering, a garage, laundry, and attentive design throughout, this home is equally suited as a luxurious pied-à-terre getaway or a full-time residence. Rarely does a property of this vision, integrity, and location become available. This is more than a home—it’s a living piece of art. Come experience this rare desert refuge now.
