Shadow · Pool, Whirlpool, Pickleball, Boulder-Blick

Summary:

Serve the first point on the pickleball court at Shadow as the boulders catch the morning light, a black modern house in Joshua Tree. Shoot around at the basketball hoop, cool off in the courtyard pool beneath its steel pergola, then settle into the hot tub at the pool's end. When the sun drops, the fire pit looks out to the boulder views. Three bedrooms, three full baths and an EV charger for arrival day. Dark lines, bright days.



The Space:

Shadow is a bold, black modern home in Joshua Tree with an indoor-outdoor open concept built around a private courtyard. Black cabinetry, a black tile fireplace wall, slatted wood accent walls and pale floors give the interiors a crisp, graphic look, while big sliders keep the courtyard pool in view. Three bedrooms, two with king beds and one with an ensuite, share three full bathrooms, and a chef's kitchen anchors the house. With a pool, hot tub and a pickleball court with a basketball hoop, it is made for active groups and families who want to spend the day outside, with paved-road access and an EV charger for easy arrivals.

-Outdoor Amenities-

Take your coffee to the courtyard while it is still quiet, then grab a paddle. The pickleball court sits out in the open desert with the boulder hills behind it, and its basketball hoop turns it into a half-court when someone wants a different game. Between rounds, cool off in the private pool, framed by the black facade and a steel pergola, and finish in the hot tub at the pool's end.



Spread out on the courtyard loungers under the umbrellas or the outdoor sectional, and set the courtyard dining table for lunch in the sun. As evening comes on, fire up the BBQ grill and gather at the fire pit, which faces the boulders as the sun goes down.



-Living Area-

Sink into the curved sofa or a leather lounge chair in the living room, where a black tile fireplace wall frames the smart TV and the windows look out to the desert. The open plan runs straight through to the kitchen and the courtyard, so movie night and the last swim of the day are never far apart.



-Kitchen and Dining-

Line up at the black island on its row of stools while someone takes the stove in the chef's kitchen, with black cabinetry, a stone backsplash, a range hood and glass pendants overhead. There is room to cook for the whole group, and the kitchen opens to the living space and the courtyard. Carry plates outside and fire up the BBQ grill for dinner under the desert sky.



-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-

Shadow has three bedrooms, including two with king beds, and one bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Slatted wood accent walls, framed prints and a window seat keep the rooms calm and simple. There are three full bathrooms, each with a smart toilet, from a black tile shower to double vanities and a glass shower with a rain head.

-Wildlife & Safety-

The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.
