First time on the market: the prestigious Rotohouse, in the exclusive Monument Manor neighborhood of Joshua Tree, California. This organic architectural treasure is just a mile to the entrance of the popular Joshua Tree National Park, sitting between two large mounds of boulders enhanced by spectacular sunset vistas. House designed by world-class architect Michael Rotondi in 2007 and renovated over the course of 10 years. The main entrance is through a custom glass door entering a fun open-air atrium. The sophisticated floorplan incorporates 2 stories 1,845 sq feet, with 10ft. ceiling in the upstairs bedroom and 14ft. high opening on downstairs bedroom, three bathrooms, two in the master suite, his and hers. Characterized by simple forms and open volumes, the main addition is a cube 25 feet on each side. Adjacent to that is a long, narrow storage building with a roof deck pointing to a phenomenal spectacle of heaped rocks and sexy Pinto Mountains. Raw and handcrafted, the rugged exterior wrapped in corten steel set the trend for hi-desert buildings. Mondo central air eases extreme desert climate offering perfect comfort throughout. Every custom window frames extraordinary and enchanting wild desert scenery. The included adjoining 2.5 acre parcel is priceless on it's own. It offers the perfect location for a potential second epic dwelling; perhaps on piers, so as to offer infinite vistas east and west. With this purchase you are not just buying a house but the true character that inspires the Joshua Tree nature and lifestyle.
