Welcome to Palo Estate, a soulfully restored desert retreat where timeless craftsmanship meets modern elegance. Set on 5 sweeping acres that overlook protected government land, this one-of-a-kind home offers unmatched privacy, panoramic views, and artful design at every turn. Originally built in 1955, the home retains its rustic character while showcasing thoughtful updates that elevate the experience. Hand-troweled plaster walls, limewashed Bauwerk finishes, and salvaged 18th-century French terra cotta tiles speak to a deep appreciation for beauty and history. In both bathrooms, reclaimed stone sinks rest on custom wood supports, creating tactile moments of quiet luxury. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath with sunroom this layout includes a flexible loft space and an integrated sunroom now part of the home’s living area framed by built-in shelving and walls of glass that draw in the desert light. The kitchen has been reimagined with floating custom shelves and a Café stove/microwave suite, while widened doorways, upgraded lighting, and a tankless water heater bring ease to everyday living. Step outside and be transported. A custom-designed, heated pool and spa by Italian artisan firm Euwork overlooks the wide-open valley, with a propane-fed fire feature nearby for evenings under the stars. A newly poured retaining wall supports the pool terrace, while the lower portion of the property features a concrete pad perfect for an RV or future creative use. Every detail has been considered, from the sculptural stair railings to the steel fencing around utility areas. With its elevated vantage point, intentional design, and just 12 miles to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, Palo Estate is more than a home it’s an invitation to experience the desert in its purest, most inspiring form.
