About the property

Black Desert House by Homestead Modern is a globally recognized architectural retreat set among boulders in the private enclave of Rock Reach. Designed by Oller & Pejic Architecture, the home pairs bold modern geometry with raw desert surroundings, creating a rare stay defined by stillness, design, and horizon-wide views. From its infinity pool to its immersive glass walls, this is a stay for guests seeking beauty, privacy, and quiet awe.

Perched above hundreds of protected desert acres, the home feels both remote and intentional, as if placed gently among the rocks. Clean architectural lines, curated interiors, and seamless indoor–outdoor flow make the property feel less like a house and more like a private design sanctuary.

We had a fantastic stay at the Black Desert Home. The home is as described; modern, tidy, super clean and well appointed. The outdoor living spaces are spectacular. From reading in the peaceful, quiet and private patios to enjoying the hot tub and pool(we spent most of our time outside).The setting of this home is indescribably beautiful and a surreal experience. If you’re coming to this area for nature’s inspiration and peace, this home is breathtaking and a small, private piece of the Joshua Tree experience. Can’t recommend enough.

Wow what an incredible home! This was the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! Spotless clean and the views were absolutely incredible!! Everything worked perfectly and all the amenities were easy to turn on and actually worked which is not always the case in other Airbnbs. The pool and hot tub were incredible. The fireplace and fire pit were an incredible feature! It was very close and an easy drive to the west entrance to Joshua tree which is an out of this world experience to see! We stopped for breakfast each morning at Yucca Tree eatery which was amazing! I also have to recommend getting a drink at the copper room right down the road. They had the best Mai Tai I’ve ever had! It was an absolute peaceful,zen getaway and can’t recommend this house enough!

This place practically feels like you're staying in the national park. The views and surroundings were amazing. The pictures don't do this place justice. The location was private. The property was clean. The hosts were responsive. All around an amazing experience!
