We are thrilled to be listing the latest creative manifestation of designer duo We Are In Our Element (Brian Smirke & Kathrin Smirke) who have lit up the desert since their arrival. It’s one thing to decorate a room and yet another to actually design and then build the house in which that room is located. Taking their singular aesthetic touch to the next level from pouring the concrete foundation to placing that final piece of framed art on the wall, the Smirkes continue their evolution with this latest live-in design. From dirt parcel to final decor, simply hang your coat in the closet and relax, it’s that easy. Reach out for a showing today!

This architectural gem has been operating as a very successful Bed and Breakfast Inn for over a decade. Just outside the west entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, the 3 bedroom 3 bath estate was designed with straw bale construction by renowned local architect Janet Armstrong-Johnston. Known as Sacred Sands, it is a work of art, and a welcoming retreat. The 360-degree views of the mountains, park and city lights will have you weeping.
