SkyRanch was created by a well-known (and, yes, edgy...) film producer and a prominent screenwriter. This innovative couple used this dramatic setting for film maker retreats. American Psycho was not written here, but a number of their other films were. Renowned actors and directors have all enjoyed the creative vibes and monumental skylines of this comfortable and expansive 5-bed, 4500 square foot desert house. SkyRanch is an art lover’s paradise. Each room is a different experience of color and style. The giant one-way mirrored windows throughout ensure you are connected to the desert yet invisible from the outside. Not that you’d need to worry however, the expansive 5 acre property offers unobstructed sweeping views of the horizon and peace and quiet. The exterior boasts plenty of parking and a wrap around patio complete with massive covered area perfect for yoga, meditation or just getting reprive from the hot desert sun while still enjoying the outdoors. A stand alone outdoor vintage wood burning fire place is a sublime place for s’mores or keeping warm while you watch the stars. Amenities: - Multi-zone wireless Sonos audio throughout the home and outdoor patios -Nobilia / Leitch / German Kitchen -Miele Cooktop & Oven -Bosch Dishwasher & Refrigerator -3 King Sized Beds -2 Queen Sized Beds -3 full bathrooms with high end fixtures, rain shower and a stand alone massive bathtub Guests enjoy full access to the 4500 square foot house and 5 acre property. A mere 10 minutes away, SkyRanch is one of the closest Airbnbs to Joshua Tree Lake Campground, home of the famed Joshua Tree Music Festival and many other gatherings. Due to SkyRanch's private location however, you will still have an uninterrupted and peaceful stay. 20 minutes away is Downtown Joshua Tree. Full of restaurants, coffee shops, interesting boutiques, yoga studios and more. Please note that the road leading to the house is dirt and may have 'washboard' qualities at some points in the drive, depending on the season and road conditions. The road is traversable by any normal car or SUV. Exotics and very low sport cars are not recommended. Many people report that the drive is smoother at medium speeds compared to driving excessively slow. Do what feels best for you. The pool area features a modern in-ground pool with an integrated hot tub. Heating for the hot tub is included in your rental. Should you wish to have the pool heated during the cooler season, please notify us in advance of your arrival as there will be a supplemental charge of $180 per day for this service due to excessively high fuel costs in this area. (If you are arriving in the warmer months, there is obviously no need to heat the pool!) Please note that beds 3 & 4 in the images are in a unique Double Bedroom layout that is one large room divided by an enclosed full bathroom.
