Property Description
Set against the hills of Yucca Valley, The Monarch is a modern desert residence defined by strong geometry, generous scale, and a considered material palette. Tall volumes, wood-clad ceilings, concrete surfaces, and expansive walls of glass give the home a clear architectural identity. The four-bedroom, three-bath plan is organized around substantial common spaces, allowing groups to gather comfortably while preserving privacy. Retractable floor-to-ceiling glass opens the main living areas directly to the grounds, creating a continuous relationship between the interior, pool, and surrounding landscape. A custom butterfly-shaped pool and integrated spa anchor the private outdoor spaces. Covered patios, an outdoor shower, dining and lounge areas, and broad mountain views create a complete environment for indoor-outdoor living. The oversized finished garage provides valuable flex space and is currently arranged as an additional game room and gathering area. Joshua Tree National Park is within minutes of the property. Downtown Joshua Tree and Pioneertown are also easily reached, while downtown Yucca Valley offers convenient access to dining, shopping, and everyday essentials. Already established as an Airbnb Luxe property with an extensive rental history, The Monarch holds a strong position as a short-term rental investment. Its four-bedroom capacity, distinctive architecture, destination amenities, and proximity to Joshua Tree National Park give it lasting appeal. The same qualities make it an equally compelling second home.
