Looking Glass · Villa luxe piscine & spa

Summary:

Perched among sculptural boulders and Joshua trees on 2.5 acres of Yucca Valley high desert, Looking Glass is a study in light and stillness. Floor-to-ceiling glass dissolves the line between inside and out across the main house and private casita, each with its own living room and kitchen. Linger poolside through golden afternoons, slip into the hot tub at dusk, then settle in by the fire as the sky goes dark and the stars arrive by the thousands. Few places make it this easy to slow down.



The Space:

Named for Alice’s journey through the looking-glass into a world just slightly beyond the ordinary, the home was designed by Rae Rockwell Studio and featured in Rue Magazine. Clean, modern lines and warm, considered design carry throughout. The three-bedroom, three-bath main house centers on a chef’s kitchen and stone fireplace, while the one-bedroom, one-bath casita has its own kitchen, dining and living space, so families or two couples can each have room to spread out. Put a record on, pour something good, and let the desert do the rest.

-Outdoor Amenities-

The in-ground pool and hot tub are the center of the backyard, ready for an afternoon swim or an evening soak. As the sun sets, gather around the gas fire pit under the stars, or fire up the gas BBQ for dinner outside. Cornhole is on hand for a game, and the 2.5-acre property, dotted with boulders and Joshua trees, gives the home a quiet, secluded feel.



-Living Area-

A stone and tile wood-burning fireplace is the focal point of the living area. The record player and record collection help set the mood, and the open layout connects the living space with the dining area and chef's kitchen, so everyone stays together. Please note that firewood is not provided.



-Kitchen and Dining-

The chef's kitchen has quality appliances, plenty of counter space and a well-stocked pantry of spices, olive oil and cookware. It opens to the dining area, where an oversized dining table has room for everyone. A drip coffee machine and French press, plus coffee, tea, sugar and creamer, are provided.



-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-

The main house has three bedrooms. The primary suite has a king bed, an ensuite bathroom with dual rain showers, a 55" Samsung smart TV and a sliding door straight to the backyard. The second bedroom has a queen bed, a private office space and an ensuite bathroom. The third bedroom has a queen bed, with the third bathroom just down the hall.



-The Casita-

The separate casita is a home of its own, made for extra privacy, a couple's getaway or a family suite. It has its own kitchen, dining area and living room, where a 75" Samsung smart TV is set up for movie nights. In the bedroom, two queen beds sit beneath floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the desert inside, and the bathroom has a soaking tub and shower combination.



-Surrounding Area-

Looking Glass is in a quiet part of Yucca Valley. The Copper Room at the historic airport, La Copine, Giant Rock Meeting Room and Old Town Yucca Valley are all within easy reach for dinner, and downtown Joshua Tree and Pappy and Harriet's in Pioneertown make good nights out. Spend the day hiking in Joshua Tree National Park, then come back to the pool and fire pit.
