On the Moonlight Mesa in north Joshua Tree, this open-concept home brings together all the desert details you could ask for: a cowboy pool, scenic fire pit, hot tub for stargazing, and a west-facing terrace for golden-hour dinners. If you’re working remotely, the spacious indoor dining table doubles as a desk (with pretty views of the landscape to soften the blow of back-to-back Zoom meetings).

An eye-catching facade you’ve probably already seen on Instagram, this “invisible” home (also by Fieldtrip) is truly one-of-a-kind. The mirrored 5,500-square-foot home cleverly reflects its desert surroundings, while the open floorplan almost creates the illusion you’re sleeping outside.

Rooms: 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms

Amenities: Indoor pool, washer/dryer, AC.
