▪︎ Sleek modern pool with heated spa and tanning shelf
▪︎ Dedicated wellness area with barrel sauna, cold plunge, shower, and Joshua Trees
▪︎ Stunning sunset and sunrise views with extensive outdoor seating areas featuring a fire sculpture
All of our amenities are thoughtfully integrated into five private acres in the Joshua Tree area, offering uninterrupted desert views, exceptional night skies, and a rare sense of space and privacy, with a short drive to town and Joshua Tree National Park.
The space
Jewel Crest has recently been enhanced with comprehensive wellness centered amenities. A sleek, heated in-ground pool with integrated hot tub serves as the centerpiece, featuring a pebble-tech basin and handmade waterline tile by Clay Imports. An outdoor solar-heated shower, a barrel sauna by Almost Heaven, and standalone cold plunge by Fire Cold Plunge, positioned between old growth Joshua trees, complete the outdoor spa experience, offering a full contrast therapy routine beneath open desert sky. Sink into plush lounge chairs from Denver Modern around a stunning fire sculpture by The Outdoor Plus.
Interior furnishings, by Interior Define, Article, and West Elm, create an organic modern, minimalist aesthetic with Scandinavian and bohemian influences. Live plants are placed throughout, and the bathroom features 8 feet of custom Fireclay tile in pink, red, and white, with brass fixtures. An updated pull-out sleeper sofa in the living room can accommodate additional guests. The front door patio features additional seating and is strikingly accented with terra cotta tile by Zia Tile.
Both bedrooms are outfitted with Allswell Luxe Hybrid mattresses and 100% cotton sheets by Parachute. The kitchen is fully equipped with quality knives, cookware, a four-burner range and oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, coffee grinder, and stocked pantry essentials including local Joshua Tree Coffee Company beans, olive oil, and spices.
Featured twice in Architectural Digest, the home balances architectural distinction with functional comfort - a private wellness retreat designed for restoration, connection, and experiencing the high desert with intention.
