Buy or Stay at The Invisible House in Joshua Tree, California

This property is available for rent on Airbnb and is on the market for $18,000,000, listed with the Aaron Kirman Group.

With a futuristic facade of mirrored glass, the Invisible House perfectly reflects the iconic Joshua Tree landscape, nestled in 67.5 acres of California desert.

Constructed in 2019 and designed by architect Tomas Osinski and its current owners, by film producers Chris and Roberta Hanley, the one-of-a-kind property has been featured on Netflix’s ‘The Most Amazing Vacation Rentals’ and has hosted celebrities like Lizzo, Alicia Keys, The Weeknd, and Demi Lovato—who claimed to see aliens there.

Frequently used in film, photo shoots, and music videos, the property earns as much as $1.4M in rental and production fees per year.

The surreal box-like structure appears to disappear into its surroundings with its exterior walls made of highly-reflective “Solarcool glass” with a closed cel foam “Cool Roof”.

The eco-friendly building is equipped with a solar water heating system, although the 100-foot long indoor swimming pool has also been designed to keep internal temperatures consistent during hot days and cool nights.

The 5400 square foot residence has a massive 224 square foot white wall at the end of the pool, designed for screening films and projecting photographs.

The 3-bedroom, 4-bath residence comes with a minimalist Chef’s kitchen and a spacious living area with sliding doors that open out the surrounding landscape.

Bordered by iconic Joshua Tree National Park and a gated nature/tortoise reserve, Starlink high broadband internet connects the Mojave desert retreat with the rest of the world.
