Welcome
A modern desert home on five quiet acres
Polished concrete, white trusses and walls of glass that open onto open sky. Days go to the pool and the game room; nights go to the fire pit and more stars than you knew were up there.
Watch the sunset from the backyard and the sunrise from the front yard. There’s room for up to seven, whether that’s a family, a few friends or just the two of you.

After dark
The best show
starts at sundown.
Out here the night sky is the main event. Far from city lights, clear moonless nights bring out the Milky Way, and the big meteor showers are worth staying up for. Pull a chair up to the fire pit, switch off the outdoor lights and give your eyes twenty minutes to adjust.
- Time it with the moonThe nights around a new moon are the darkest of the month.
- Bring a warm layerDesert nights cool off fast, even after a hot day.
- Keep it dimA red light protects your night vision; a bright phone screen resets it.
