There are houses in the desert, and then there are homes that feel like works of art. West &#38' Wild is the latter – a retreat that embodies design, intention, and soul. Featured in Architectural Digest, Vogue, and Sight Unseen, this iconic property has captured global attention while remaining a deeply personal, creative escape. With a proven history as one of the desert’s most beloved short-term rentals, West &#38' Wild also offers an established legacy of strong revenue and glowing reviews – a home where investment and artistry coexist in perfect balance. Its design blends scale with intimacy – from a soaring, light-drenched living room crowned by a cathedral ceiling of warm wood, to walls finished in lime-wash and Roman clay that bring subtle depth and texture. The chef’s kitchen with dramatic stone counters and high-end appliances, along with carefully curated furnishings and artwork, speaks to a vision where every detail matters. The 2,400+ sqft main house holds three bedrooms plus a versatile loft – perfect for extra guests, a lounge, or a creative studio. Just steps away, a private casita with its own bath completes the four-bedroom retreat, offering privacy and connection in equal measure.
Outdoors, the energy shifts into pure desert magic: a hand-painted swimming pool by artist Ty Williams, a hot tub beneath endless stars, a communal fire pit for gatherings, and trails leading into the wide-open landscape near the scenic Sand-to-Snow National Monument. The backyard is expansive, offering a large stretch of flat, buildable space beyond the pool – the perfect canvas for future expansion, whether that’s an additional structure, outdoor wellness space, sport court, or any creative desert amenity. The home also features a fully owned solar system, aligning with the same intentional, forward-thinking design that defines every detail throughout. This home is more than beautiful design – it’s an experience – a place where silence feels restorative, where morning light inspires, and where evenings bring together friends, creativity, and conversation. Perfectly situated in Flamingo Heights, you’re walking distance to the locally beloved La Copine, and minutes from Joshua Tree National Park and all the cafes, restaurants, and shops in downtown Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, and Pioneertown. More than a home, it’s an expression of artistry and intention – ready for the next visionary to carry its story forward.
