Sofa seating for the whole group including a large flat screen TV and an electric fireplace. Games and books for the hours that don`t need a screen. The living room faces the mountains and the pool. Sunrise comes in one side, sunset stays longer than you expect. The kind of room everyone ends up in eventually.
K I T C H E N & D I N I N G
A large open kitchen with generous counter space, bar stool seating, and two sinks that make cooking for a full house feel less like a production. Fully stocked with dish ware and everything you need for a real meal. Five-burner electric stovetop, Ninja coffee maker, blender, microwave, and a refrigerator with a built-in ice maker. The dining table seats eight with wide open views of the desert mountains. The kind of kitchen that actually gets used.
O U T D O O R S
Karmel is surrounded by desert park mountain views in all directions. An in-ground pool and heated spa sit right outside the master suite, spa heat included, no extra charge. The pool is not heated.
A shaded patio with seating for the full group for conversation, games, or a book you keep meaning to finish. Enough open space for a yoga session or sound bath under the sky. A half bath off the patio keeps pool traffic out of the house. Natural landscaping, Joshua Trees in view, and a seclusion that makes the whole property feel like it belongs only to you. Carport parking for three with an EV charger on site.
Please make yourself at home with access to the entire property, including driveway parking and an EV charging station.

This home is clean, gorgeous, and very well equipped. We felt like we had privacy without being too far from other humans. The pool and grounds are perfect. Communication with the property management was great - they anticipated all questions and provided clear, concise information.
