Summary:
Contemporary Compound by Homestead Modern is a rare downtown Joshua Tree retreat designed for groups who want both privacy and connection. Set just steps from the village, this modern compound pairs two stylish homes with a shared pool courtyard, making it ideal for families or friends traveling together while staying in the heart of the High Desert.
