Some desert homes are built for a quiet weekend. Sky Ranch Noir is built for the whole group to disappear into five private acres and make the trip feel like an occasion. Set in North Joshua Tree with space to sleep 12, this design-forward estate brings together wide-open Mojave views, resort-style outdoor amenities, and enough room for celebrations, creative retreats, and long desert days that turn into even better nights.

This single-level home offers five bedrooms (three with ensuite baths) and an expansive open-concept layout perfect for groups to unwind in style. Whether you’re gathered in the airy living room or cooking in the modern kitchen, every space flows seamlessly into the next, surrounded by breathtaking desert views.

Step outside and you’ll discover the true soul of the property: a private resort-like backyard designed for peak relaxation and play. The custom pool and hot tub overlook uninterrupted Mojave vistas, while a wraparound patio sets the scene for sunrise yoga or sunset cocktails. When it’s time to slow down, unwind and recharge in the traditional Finnish-style 3-person cedar barrel sauna, where you can enjoy a classic dry sauna or add water to the hot stones for a steamy session. A pickleball and basketball court and small putting green keep the fun going between soaks, while the fire pit, hammock, and famously dark desert skies make it easy to stretch the evening long after sunset.

Please note: Off-roading is not permitted on the property or neighboring streets. For an epic off-roading experience, head to the Sunfair Dry Lake Bed nearby.
