Design-Forward | Cowboy Pool, Soaking Tub & Views

Masseria Sylvestre is a newly built modern home set on five private acres between Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. Informed by Passive-led architecture and design, Sylvestre was created with both sustainability and serenity in mind. The airtight, energy-efficient build creates an environment that’s quiet, thermally balanced, and deeply calming, a cocoon-like space that shaped every design choice. Natural materials like stone and untreated wood give the home a grounding, organic feel.

Please note: We do not have a TV. There are 3 bedrooms with 3 beds; a Queen air mattress is available for up to 8 guests (max). Inside the Home: An open-plan living space anchors the home, with clean lines, warm textures, and large sliding doors that open directly to the desert. The modern kitchen is fully equipped and flows into the dining area, making it easy to cook and gather. Each bedroom was designed as a private sanctuary with soft linens, calming tones, and thoughtful details. Bathrooms continue the spa-like feel, with elegant finishes and space to slow down. Outdoor Living: Sylvestre’s outdoor spaces immerse you in the desert landscape. Cool off in the cowboy pool, linger at the large outdoor dining table, or watch the colors change from dawn to dusk. For deeper restoration, an outdoor soaking tub and shower invite you to bathe beneath the open desert sky. The Setting: With panoramic views of mountains and open desert, the property feels private yet accessible—a short drive to Joshua Tree National Park, Palm Springs, and local desert gems. Whether you’re here to explore, gather, or simply recharge, Sylvestre offers a grounding and unforgettable desert escape. Local Experiences: Enhance your stay with thoughtfully curated local experiences. Sound baths at the Integratron or with a local practitioner. Massage, bodywork, or energy sessions at the house. Guided desert hikes and nature walks. Yoga, Pilates, or breathwork under open skies. Private chef dinners and in-home dining. Stargazing and astronomy tours. Horseback rides through desert trails. Cold plunges and wellness sessions with local experts. We’d love to connect you with our favorite local guides and practitioners. --- Need more room?
