About this property

Private Designer Desert Retreat • 5 Acres • Hot Tub• Plunge Pool • Stars

  • Private 5-acre designer retreat with hot tub, plunge pool and sweeping desert views—just 18 mins from Joshua Tree. Rancho Flamingo is a fully renovated midcentury escape designed for relaxing, stargazing and soaking in the quiet beauty of the high desert. With multiple outdoor living spaces and panoramic views from sunrise to sunset, it’s the perfect place to unwind in total privacy. Ideal for couples, small groups or a peaceful work-from-home reset—close to town, yet removed from the crowds.

    Enjoy four large outdoor lounge, dining, and sunning patios. Dip in the cowboy pool and hot tub, and then relax on the extra-large loungers built for two while gazing at the butte.

    Grill up a feast and enjoy dinner outside under the stars, or relax with a glass of wine at the fire pit listening to music. There is an adjacent casita with a desk ready for you to take a private call or write your next novel.

Or head over to the Joshua Tree National park and get lost amongst the boulders, and marvel at the magnificent mountains, caves, and rock climbing.

    ► The Copper Room: 11-minute drive - watch the sunset while sipping craft cocktails on the runway and listening to Jazz on Sundays
    ► Pappy & Harriet's: a world-renowned live music venue for tunes and BBQ under the stars, is a 15min drive down the scenic Pipes Canyon Road
    ► Shop locally at Moon Wind Trading Co. (2min drive), or in downtown Pioneertown after visiting Pappy's. You'll find local artisans, including clothing, soaps, vintage wears, and more
    ► Flea Market: Open on Saturdays and Sundays in downtown Yucca Valley. Pick up desert treasures for just a few dollars.
    ► Shopping on Highway 62: you can weave in and out of vintage shops, desert boutiques and thoughtfully curated interior design stores. In the middle of your shopping, take a break at Frontier Cafe and grab a matcha and an avocado tartine.
    ► Integratron: experience their signature sound bath which is described as "an unforgettable sound experience for those who seek deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and introspection."

We had a fantastic time. The house is great and had everything we needed. The multiple outdoor patios make enjoying the sunshine or shying away from it possible all day.
