Created in 2009 by the renowned landscape architect Garett Carlson, The Boulder House was conceived visually as a large boulder rising beneath a hillock– actually a turf roof– becoming one with the landscape and almost invisible from the road. Set in a magical, drought-resistant and sympathetically planted landscape with wide-ranging views of Joshua Tree National Park, the 2-bed, 2-bath residence has come on the market for the first time this week. Behind gates and down a long gravel drive, the property opens up to face the desert with a fully retractable wall of glass.

What We Love: The Joshua Tree area, centered around nearby Pioneertown, has long been a magnet for filmmakers, and here many of the home’s large boulder features– the pool waterfall, the firepit, the property gates– were artfully fabricated to Carlson’s design, as they would have been for film sets in the area, blurring the line between reality and artifice. Even the patinated steel cladding of the structure refers back to the area’s historic mining camps.
