Terra Nova is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom custom-built home situated on 5 acres of lush desert. Constructed in 1986, and completely redesigned in 2021, every inch of this modern retreat has been thoughtfully renovated to bring the outdoors in. Cool off in the plunge pool, practice sun salutations on our yoga deck, and watch movies under the stars in the outdoor movie theater. Terra Nova is where you come to recharge, heal, and dream.

The space
Terra Nova was designed to be both grounding and inspiring. Both bedrooms offer luxury Casper mattresses and luxury sheets to promote restoration and sleep.

Our en-suite bathrooms boast unique experiences - one with a walk in shower and double vanity, another with a deep soaking tub and window to the stars.

Enjoy a fresh cup of Joshua Tree Coffee from the coffee nook, and cook yourself a fresh meal from ingredients picked up at the Joshua Tree Farmer's Market using our top of the line Cafe appliances.

At the end of the day, relax in our 8-person jacuzzi and watch a quiet night settle over the hills.

For those looking beyond the well equipped house and its local activities, consider booking a healing session on-site with one of our trusted vendors. We work with skilled healers that specialize in Reiki, breathwork, soundbaths, and a range of massage services.
