Most impressive is a rolling door that connects the cabin’s sunroom to a patio with a firepit.

This project was submitted by Jennifer Huynh and has been selected as an Editor’s Pick.

“Welcome to The Alchemist Retreat, a 1,000 sft industrial modern cabin sitting on over 2.5 acres of mostly untouched desert landscape. Built by a local Joshua Tree developer in 2021, this property features unique steam punk and industrial detailing and accents, including hand-laid bricks, corrugated metal, wood paneling, black piping, exposed ducting, and so much more.

Sunroom features fully retractable glass door that bring the outdoors in and the entire property has incredible 360 views of the mountains and valleys. Five separate outdoor spaces provide plenty of space to play during the day and serene bedroom offers a cozy retreat at night.

Located on the border of Yucca Valley and Pioneertown with minimal noise and light pollution, this location has front row seats to the Milky Way.”
