The Landing House | NY Times By Homestead Modern

Summary:
Nestled among boulders and within walking distance of the national park, The Landing House is a sustainable architectural gem in Joshua Tree's Monument Manor area. Featured in T List, The New York Times, this home offers a heated plunge pool/spa, 5 private acres to explore, and a unique design that blends with the natural landscape.

The Space:
"The desert has long been a place of both retreat and revelation, where words like “oasis” and “mirage” blur reality and fantasy. In Joshua Tree, Calif., the high desert community some 130 miles east of Los Angeles, a new rental property called Landing House leans into this mythos." - T List, The New York Times

The Landing House is a warm and thoughtful mix of natural materials and modernity that supports a luxurious stay while fully respecting and reflecting the untouched native landscape. Designed by the team behind Industry of All Nations, the inspiration for the house came from observing and feeling the magical natural surroundings.

The Neighborhood:
Monument Manor is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the Joshua Tree area given its immediate proximity to the park and breathtaking vistas of the area’s signature Craggy Mountains and desert plants.

When you’re ready for some outdoor adventure, Joshua Tree National Park’s West Entrance is just 2 minutes away by car.

Searching for great eats, drinks, shops, and things to do? Here are a few recommendations in Joshua Tree Village, a 5-minute drive away:
• Start your day at The Dez, known for their espresso, baked goods, and delicious take-aways
• Marvel at the handiwork at the World Famous Crochet Museum
• Pick up lunch or a souvenir from the Joshua Tree Certified Farmers' Market, open Saturdays
• Perhaps close your day with the food, drinks and music offered at the rustic Joshua Tree Saloon

Up for a day trip? Don’t miss these area highlights - they’re worth the drive.
• Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum (15-minute drive) - As far from a stuffy gallery as you can imagine, this outdoor sculpture garden contains a unique collection of folk-art.
• Pioneertown (20-minute drive) - Put on your ten-gallon hat and stroll down Mane Street of this Wild West-inspired town, also known for Pappy & Harriet’s, a notable restaurant and venue.
• The Integratron (25-minute drive) - New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.
• Palm Springs (45-minute drive) - Artsy town known for vintage shopping, art galleries, and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.

Of course, let’s not forget about the essentials. Everything you need is within close driving distance:
• Closest supermarket: Vons (10-minute drive)
• Closest wine & liquor store: Mike's Liquor & Joshua Tree Bottle Shop
• Closest pharmacy: Star Pharmacy (7-minute drive)
• Closest bank: U.S. Bank (13-minute drive)
• Closest gas station: 76 (6-minute drive)

Getting Around:
While we are off a paved road, many roads in the high desert are dirt, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four wheel drive car is not, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain.

Other Things to Note:
• POOL AND HOT TUB HEATING:
- Your rental includes heating for the in-ground pool in May and September.
- The hot tub is always free to heat.
- However, during the cooler months, there are extra charges for pool heating.
- If you want the pool heated during these months, please let us know before you arrive.

Extra Charges for Pool Heating:
October and April: $200 per night
November through March: $300 per night
January and February: Pool heating is not available

No jumping, diving, running or rough play near the pool and hot tub area. No glass can be around the pool and hot tub, there are metal cups in the kitchen to be used outside. Please mind the quiet hours (no loud noises after 10pm). No intoxicated persons may use the pool or hot tub. NO LIFEGUARD WILL BE ON DUTY - YOU SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK.

• EVENTS & COMMERCIAL PHOTOSHOOTS: Are not permitted without prior approval, applicable permit and additional fees.

• DOGS: Due to the soft cedar wall paneling on the interior of this home we cannot allow dogs at this time. No other types of animals are authorized.

• SOCIAL MEDIA: If you plan on sharing your experience on social media, please mention us!

• CELL SERVICE: Cell phone service availability and quality in the high desert varies by service provider. This is particularly true in the more remote areas of Joshua Tree, Pipes Canyon, and Pioneertown. Please be prepared by enabling wifi calling or downloading a VOIP program.
