Lost Moon Ranch: A Dreamy Desert Getaway and Bohemian Retreat
Lost Moon Ranch is a new addition to the high desert landscape, designed with the bohemian soul in mind. Spanning 40 acres in Pioneertown (near Joshua Tree), the property includes a villa, a retro 70s hangar, an outdoor rock spa, two vintage Airstreams, and multiple camping sites.
The designers drew inspiration from their travels, curating a truly global space that showcases artisanal details from around the world. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the property is ideal for a serene getaway or a unique event venue.
The main villa serves as the heart of the compound, brimming with artifacts and treasures from exotic destinations. Each of the four bedrooms and three bathrooms exudes character, with the master suite offers a particularly indulgent experience marked by desert-inspired luxury. The suite’s spa-like bathroom features a vaulted Moroccan ceiling. Throughout the villa, a warm color palette echoes the surrounding desert’s natural tones, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the beauty outside.
The interior design of the villa has been influenced by the architectural styles and aesthetics of Morocco, the Middle East, and India, creating a space that transports guests to faraway lands. The design is an international blend of avant-garde and traditional elements, achieving a balance that feels deeply rooted in the desert setting.
The villa showcases terracotta tile floors, vibrant natural textiles, and handpicked wall art. The solid wood furniture has been adorned with intricate carvings inspired by traditional woodworking techniques, enhancing the authenticity of the space.
Hand-painted details, textured walls with delicate etchings, and spiritual components appear throughout, contributing to the villa’s layered aesthetic. Guests will find mosaic tiles tucked away in unexpected places, while stone walls and exposed beams add to the rustic refinement.
Perched at 4,500 feet, the villa offers sweeping views of the surrounding otherworldly landscape. Joshua Tree is known for its one-of-a-kind scenery, where wild animals roam freely and massive granite boulders stand tall. The distinct tranquility and ethereal energy invite visitors to pause and absorb the natural surroundings.
Although the villa feels isolated, it’s just five minutes away from Pioneertown, a quintessential Wild West-style village. The property is extremely private and accessed via a dirt path flanked by giant boulders. The outdoor space is as thoughtfully designed as the interior, featuring a spacious rose and lavender patio, two flourishing fruit orchards, a small vineyard, and a natural marsh.
Hiking trails lead to “The Portal,” a secluded meditation hut perched atop a mountain, offering panoramic views of Big Bear and San Jacinto. The Lost Moon compound is a place for dreamers, artists, and creatives to escape and experience something truly unique, providing a spiritual space that feels like its own planet.
