Boulders Gate • Luxury Pool Villa on National Park

Summary:

Welcome to Boulders Gate by The Cohost Company. Boulders Gate is a fully reimagined luxury desert retreat set on private acreage directly bordering Joshua Tree National Park. Named for the surrounding mountains of boulders, it feels like a gateway into another world - quiet, expansive, and deeply restorative. Here, mornings unfold in stillness, light pours through vast windows, and every moment invites reflection, connection, and a sense of something greater.



The Space:

Designed by Wolfgang Pichler Design, this home blends clean, modern architecture with warm, grounding materials - natural wood, stone, and handcrafted zellige tile. The aesthetic is fresh yet soulful, where minimal lines meet organic texture. Floor-to-ceiling windows soar throughout, filling the home with ever-changing desert light and framing uninterrupted views of boulders, sky, and valley below.



The property is thoughtfully laid out as a Main House and a separate Casita. The Main House features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with expansive living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and dining areas designed for gathering. Just a short walk away, the Casita offers two additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, its own kitchen, as well as dedicated laundry, gym, and indoor sauna space through separate outdoor entrances.



Throughout, the home and property feel expansive yet intimate, offering both open areas for connection and quiet corners for reflection - ideal for slowing down, reconnecting, and being fully present.



-Outdoor Amenities-

The outdoor experience is nothing short of extraordinary, designed to immerse you fully in the landscape. A pool and spa sit nestled among native flora, overlooking sweeping boulder formations that glow at sunrise and sunset. Lounge chairs invite long, sun-soaked afternoons, while a fire pit with plush outdoor seating creates a natural gathering place as the desert cools.



A rooftop deck on the Main House elevates the experience even further, offering 360-degree views that stretch endlessly across the desert and mountains. With its own fire pit and seating, it becomes a front-row seat to golden hour and a stargazing sanctuary once night falls.



Multiple outdoor living spaces flow effortlessly from the home, including a front patio seating area, an outdoor dining space just off the Main House kitchen, and a built-in outdoor kitchen complete with BBQ, sink, and mini fridge near the pool area. The acreage itself feels wild and untouched - step beyond the property and you can walk directly into Joshua Tree National Park, weaving your own paths through boulders and open desert. Evenings bring cool breezes, painted skies, and some of the clearest star-filled nights imaginable.



-Living Areas-

The living areas in the Main House are grand yet inviting, with soaring ceilings and walls of glass that open to views of the pool, boulders, and valley beyond. Natural light flood the spaces throughout the day, creating a bright, uplifting atmosphere that shifts beautifully with the desert light.



Two distinct seating areas offer flexibility and comfort - one oriented toward the outdoors, perfect for conversation and connection, and another centered around a TV with surround sound for immersive movie nights. The layout flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining areas, making it ideal for gathering while still allowing space to unwind. Whether it’s a slow morning with coffee or a cozy evening after a day of exploring, the spaces feel effortlessly welcoming.



-Kitchens & Dining Spaces-

The Main House kitchen is a true centerpiece - fully equipped, thoughtfully designed, and equally suited for casual mornings or elevated dinners. White oak cabinetry, natural stone countertops, and handcrafted zellige tile create a warm, refined aesthetic. High-end appliances include double ovens, a gas stovetop, and an oversized fridge, while a separate bar area provides the perfect setup for cocktails.



A breakfast bar center island captures soft morning light, while the main dining area sits nearby, connected yet distinct. Just outside the Main House kitchen, an outdoor dining table extends the experience into the open air and bouldered surroundings, complemented by a fully built outdoor kitchen by the pool with a BBQ, sink, and mini fridge.



The Casita also features its own fully stocked kitchen, offering added flexibility for larger groups or those seeking a bit more independence. Please note that there is a fridge in the Casita, but no. freezer. Whether preparing meals together in the Main House or enjoying a quieter moment in the Casita, every space is designed to bring people together with ease.



-Bedrooms & Bathrooms-

Each bedroom is designed as a private retreat, offering a sense of calm, luxury, and connection to the surrounding landscape. Expansive windows frame incredible views from every room, while spa-inspired bathrooms feature natural tile, clean lines, and a serene atmosphere.



The Main House includes three bedrooms, all with king beds, ensuite bathrooms, and desk spaces - perfect for working from home in peace. The downstairs primary suite offers an ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, creating a true sanctuary. A second downstairs bedroom has a beautifully designed ensuite bathroom that also opens up to the living area, while the upstairs bedroom features its own ensuite with a walk-in shower.



The Casita adds two additional bedrooms and two bathrooms. Upstairs, a king bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom with a shower. Downstairs, a playful yet refined bunk room features two queen bunk beds and access to a nearby bathroom off the Casita kitchen.



-Casita, Gym & Sauna-

Just a short walk from the Main House, the Casita offers its own sense of privacy and independence while remaining closely connected. Inside, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms - perfect for guests who appreciate a bit of separation.



Attached to the Casita are additional amenities designed for wellness and convenience, including a dedicated gym space (coming soon), a sauna, and laundry facilities with two washers and two dryers. Each of these areas has its own separate outdoor entrance, allowing for seamless use without disrupting the Casita living spaces. It’s an ideal setup for balancing togetherness with personal space.



-Surrounding Areas-

Located at the edge of Joshua Tree National Park, the home offers a rare opportunity to step directly into one of California’s most iconic landscapes. The park itself is a place of striking contrasts - massive boulder formations, endless desert vistas, and winding trails that invite exploration at every level. While direct access to the park is available just outside your doorstep, please note that the official West Entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is about an 18 minute drive, for those who want to drive through the park.



Nearby Joshua Tree town is known for its creative, laid-back energy, with eclectic shops, local cafes, and a strong sense of artistic community. The surrounding desert offers a range of experiences, from guided hikes and rock climbing to sound baths, meditation sessions, and wellness retreats. The landscape feels vast and otherworldly - an expansive desert dotted with sculptural rock formations and endless skies that shift in color throughout the day.
