At first glance, no one would blame you for thinking the property at 2015 Sunfair Road in Joshua Tree was a mirage. Upon finishing your double-take, however, you’d quickly realize that the one-of-a-kind landscape and residential design you’re looking at is quite real. 

It’s called Mojave Rock Ranch and it could be yours for $4.5 million.

The 225-acre property greets you with a collection of stunning flora and cacti. Once through, you arrive at a quirky two-bedroom home that has used “recycled design” to incorporate rocks, glass, and trinkets from around the world. Besides incorporating items from around the world, the home’s design borrows aesthetics from Mayan temples to South African lodges to the American Wild West.

If you want the stories behind each piece and presentation, you’ll probably have to ask Gino Dreese and Troy Williams, the sellers who have traveled the world to create this place tucked away in the California desert. With each trip abroad, they returned with new pieces to help expand what started as a 1950s cabin into what it’s become today.

They didn’t stop with the home, however. Take a tour around the grounds and you’ll also find lily ponds, pools, a museum, and even a Wild West jail cell. Not to mention the panoramic views of undisturbed deserts and mountains that surround everything. 

The property is listed by Marc Lange with HOM — Sotheby's International Realty.
