Summary:
Ten private acres of boulders surround Whistling Rock, and the patio doors open straight onto them. This new-construction house keeps its finishes fine and its attention outside, down to an authentic Eames lounge chair facing the view. Stretch on the yoga deck among the rocks in the morning, drift between the pool and its hot tub by afternoon, then cook at the custom BBQ station under the heated pergola before the fire pit. Two primary suites, a bunk room, and a great deal of horizon.

-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.
