Sanktuary Haus sits on 2.5 acres, newly renovated by locals Nathan Beck and Karla Ruzicki, and surrounded by miles of protected government land for the ultimate peace and privacy. Thoughtfully landscaped with mature palo verde trees and creosote bushes, the property immerses you in the desert’s quiet beauty and blurs the line between indoors and out. It`s a place to retreat, restore, and reconnect to your center.

Please make yourself at home with access to the entire property and its 2.5 acres of private land, including a gated driveway with parking.

Have questions about the property or the area? We’re local and happy to help make your desert stay an experience to remember.

Welcome to 29 Palms, a peaceful desert community just outside Joshua Tree National Park. Known for its stunning open landscapes, vibrant night skies, and iconic desert scenery, 29 Palms offers a true escape into nature. With access to world-class hiking, unique wildlife, and endless views, this hidden gem is where the desert’s quiet beauty really comes alive.

You don’t need a four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle to reach The Sanktuary Haus or explore the high desert—Teslas and other luxury cars manage just fine. Some roads can be a little bumpy, so turn on your favorite tunes, take it slow, and enjoy the ride.
