Moasis • Modern Escape with Pool, Spa, Hammocks

Moasis is a modern desert retreat set on five private acres just outside Joshua Tree, where striking architecture meets refined comfort. Gather around the sunken conversation pit or outdoor bar, unwind by the pool, or settle into a hammock beneath wide-open skies. Secluded enough for complete privacy and unforgettable stargazing, yet only minutes from town, Moasis is designed for connection, restoration, and the freedom to experience the desert at your own pace.

Moasis carries a distinct modern, brutalist character: Raw materials and clean architectural lines are balanced by contemporary furnishings that keep the atmosphere warm. Large windows run throughout the home, so mornings arrive bathed in light and energy, while the interiors themselves lean into tall ceilings and open gathering spaces that make the home feel expansive. From the pool, guests catch the final rays of golden hour settling over the surrounding mountains, and once night falls, solar designer lighting traces the pathways as the desert sky opens up overhead. Touches like the waterfall island, an oversized snake sculpture and desert plant inspired decor give the home a distinct, gallery-like edge.

-Outdoor Amenities-
Five acres of open desert give Moasis a true sense of space, with distinct outdoor areas designed for every kind of desert day. The pool anchors the experience, featuring a shallow sun shelf and a front-row view of the sunset’s final glow. Nearby, the outdoor bar and dining area invite cocktails and lingering meals, while the adjacent bocce court brings a playful edge to the evening. As temperatures cool, gather around the fire pit or unwind in the above-ground hot tub. For quieter moments, slip into a hammock with a book from the home’s collection. Once night falls, the wide-open sky above Moasis offers an unforgettable setting for stargazing.

-Living Area-
At the heart of the home is a custom sunken conversation pit designed to bring everyone together. Its circular layout keeps the whole group connected, while generous pillows and cozy blankets make it easy to settle in after a day of exploring. Gather here for games, conversation or a favorite show, with a smart TV and speakers ready for movie nights and background music. For families traveling with young children, the conversation pit is also equipped with safety fencing.

-Kitchen & Dining-
The open kitchen is spacious and easy to navigate, whether you’re preparing a full-course dinner or cooking casually while friends gather around the waterfall island. Cookware, pantry essentials and oils are provided, along with a coffee setup for slow, relaxed mornings. The breakfast bar is perfect for casual meals, while the outdoor dining area invites lingering dinners and conversation beneath the open sky.

-Bedroom & Bathroom-
Primary Suite:
Located on the south side of the home, the primary suite overlooks the backyard and captures the changing desert light from sunrise to sunset. A rich palette of emerald green, black and warm beige creates a cozy, elevated atmosphere, while large windows bring in the view and blackout curtains make it easy to rest. The suite also includes a private ensuite bathroom.

King Room:
The second bedroom is located on the north side of the home, with far-reaching views across the open desert. Clay tones and earthy neutrals give the room a warm, grounded feel. With the softest natural light in the home, it is an especially comfortable choice for light-sensitive sleepers.

Queen Room:
Tucked into the center of the home, the third bedroom features a queen bed and a quieter, moodier atmosphere. Gentle lamplight replaces overhead lighting, creating a naturally restful space well suited to relaxed evenings or helping little ones settle down for the night. A large area rug and thoughtful designer details add softness and character.

Bathrooms:
The home’s two full bathrooms continue its bold, modern design, pairing clean architectural lines with warm decorative details. Both feature spacious walk-in showers, moody tile and refined finishes that create a calm, spa-like atmosphere.

Pool heating is not usually necessary during the warmer summer months. During winter, the high desert’s colder temperatures may prevent the pool from reaching or maintaining the temperature guests expect. Refunds cannot be issued because the water feels cooler than anticipated. The pool is professionally maintained throughout the year. Because this is a natural desert environment, wind, dust, insects, and small pieces of plant material may occasionally enter the water between services.

Please do not allow pets of any kind or size in the hot tub. After use, please leave the spa cover secured in place to help maintain the temperature and protect the tub. Do not stand or sit on the spa cover. Plastic cups have been provided for outdoor use, and no glass is permitted in or around the water features. Please note that if the hot tub is left in poor condition due to misuse, an additional cleaning or maintenance fee may be charged to restore the tub to its proper condition for future guests.
