Avira · Pool, Whirlpool, Pickleball, Open-Air-Kino

Summary:

Lie back in the stargazing net at Avira while a movie plays across the wall of the house, five fenced acres out in North Joshua Tree's Sunfair Heights. By day, rally on the private pickleball court, then pull up to the built-in barstools in the pool or lounge in the clear dome beside the in-ground hot tub. Inside, wood ceilings, bold wallpaper and a sculptural branch shelf give the house its personality. Two bedrooms and a record collection to work through.



The Space:

Avira pairs clean architectural lines with an expressive, handcrafted style: faux stone textures in the kitchen and hearth, sculptural branch-like shelving, warm wood ceilings, playful patterned wallpaper and plenty of natural light. It sits on five private acres in North Joshua Tree's Sunfair Heights, with a fully fenced backyard built around a pool, hot tub, pickleball court, stargazing net and outdoor movie setup. A king primary with a chaise lounge and a second bedroom with two queens share a plaster-and-brass bathroom, a good fit for a couple or a small group who want lots to do without leaving home. Drop the needle on a record before movie night.

-Outdoor Amenities-

Morning starts on the front porch, where patio chairs face the desert and the mountains for coffee or a little journaling. Then grab the paddles for a few games on the private pickleball court inside the fenced yard.



The afternoon belongs to the pool deck. Swim up to the built-in barstools, stretch out on a lounger, or duck into the clear dome lounge, piled with cushions, right beside the pool and in-ground hot tub. As the sun sets, gather on the cushioned benches around the propane fire pit and fire up the propane BBQ. Once it is dark, the outdoor projector throws a movie onto the wall of the house, and the stargazing net in front of it is the best seat in the yard. Stay out after the credits and look up.



-Living Area-

Warm wood ceilings and a bold patterned wallpaper wall frame the living room, where a plush sofa faces the smart TV. A vintage-style stove sits on the textured stone hearth as a decorative focal point, and the custom branch-like shelving is a sculptural piece in its own right. Pull a record from the collection, set it spinning and let a board game or a book fill the afternoon.



-Kitchen and Dining-

The kitchen centers on a large island with woven bar stools, a stone backsplash, open shelving, glass pendants and warm wood tones. It is fully equipped with modern appliances and cookware and stocked with spices, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Grind the Joshua Tree Coffee Co. whole beans and choose the drip coffee maker or French press, with sugars and tea on hand. A spacious dining table with statement lighting sits beneath the branch shelf, just off the kitchen.



-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-

The primary bedroom has a king bed with a carved headboard, an open layout, large windows, a rattan pendant, a wallpapered closet and a chaise lounge for reading or starting the day slowly. The second bedroom has two queen beds, a patterned accent wall, a smart TV and a desk area. The bathroom has smooth plaster finishes, a plaster trough sink, warm brass fixtures and a walk-in shower.
