Description

Welcome to Sorrel House, a custom-built architectural estate, set atop a protected bluff bordering protected Wildlands Conservancy and Pioneertown Mountains Preserve acreage that could remain untouched for generations. The views from this property are some of the finest in the hi-desert. Designed with a contemporary modern, minimalist/brutalist aesthetic, the home draws inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s philosophy—“of the hill, not on the hill”—seamlessly integrating structure and landscape into Organic Modern design. The Santa Barbara smooth-finish stucco wrapping the home mirrors the tone of the surrounding buttes, creating a striking yet harmonious presence. Inside, custom earthen plaster walls, concrete floors, and hand-crafted white oak cabinetry deliver a refined, tactile desert-luxe experience. Oversized white oak doors and expansive sliders in every bedroom open effortlessly to the pool terrace, dissolving the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. The resort-caliber exterior features a large in-ground pool with waterfall spa, and a shaded dining pavilion just off the kitchen—perfectly oriented for sunrise coffees, golden hour dinners, and stargazing nights. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, with floor-to-ceiling tadelakt plaster, dual showers, and a dramatic wall-sunken overhead rain shower. Additional highlights include 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a dedicated laundry room, and a large garage currently laid out as a yoga / fitness studio. Thoughtfully landscaped with native desert flora for beauty and low maintenance. Offered fully turnkey furnished. Bonus parcel with flat graded space, ideal for a future barn, studio, ADU, pickleball court or whatever your vision may inspire (buyer to check). Hike into The Preserve or walk over to Pappy & Harriet's for dinner & a show. Whether as a private retreat or a high-performing luxury rental, Sorrel House stands as a singular offering in one of the hi-desert’s most coveted settings.
