About this home

Welcome to The Rosy Boa, a one-of-a-kind High Desert retreat set across five pristine acres on the Mesa in Flamingo Heights, where sweeping views stretch toward Pipes Canyon and the mesas of Pioneertown and the desert puts on a show from sunrise to sunset. Thoughtfully designed and professionally curated, this two bedroom, two bath home captures the eclectic spirit that made the Hi Desert special in the first place. Warm, relaxed interiors, vintage details and views through nearly every window offer a refreshing departure from the cookie-cutter new construction found throughout the desert today. A cinema setup transforms the living room after dark, while two kitchens and a flexible floor plan create the potential to separate the home into two distinct living spaces. Outside is where this sanctuary truly comes alive. Rows of mature olive trees frame a professionally landscaped backyard filled with intimate gathering spaces and multiple decks, including an unforgettable bathing deck with two clawfoot tubs positioned beneath the open desert sky. At the center of it all is one of the largest custom-welded cowboy pools in the desert, fully filtered and functioning like a traditional pool while retaining the character that makes the property so unique. A completely restored vintage Airstream adds another layer of charm and possibility. Joshua trees dot the surrounding acreage, while the expansive five-acre setting offers privacy, unobstructed views and room to dream even bigger including ample space for a future in-ground pool and additional outdoor amenities. Just minutes from La Copine and within easy reach of Giant Rock, the Integratron, Pioneertown and Joshua Tree National Park, the Rosy Boa offers something increasingly difficult to find in the High Desert: acreage, personality, flexibility and a genuine sense of place. This is the kind of property people come to Joshua Tree hoping to find.
