An $18M Joshua Tree’s Invisible House

As a result, celebrities like Lizzo, Diplo, Demi Lovato, and other leaders of the entertainment industry have visited the cuboid home.

Even though it has a tongue-in-cheek name, the iconic Invisible House in Joshua Tree is one of the most photographed landmarks in California. At this point, the beloved home in the Mojave Desert that was featured on Netflix’s The Most Amazing Vacation Rentals and visited by celebrities such as Lizzo, Diplo, and Demi Lovato, as well as countless influencers, has become an Instagram celebrity of its own right (it even has its own Instagram page with 33,000 followers). This one-of-a-kind property can now be yours for only $18 million, which is an incredible price for such a property.

This rectangular home was designed by Tomas Osinski and is currently owned by Chris Hanley, a film producer with credits such as The Virgin Suicides, American Psycho, and Spring Breakers. It is without a doubt this home’s most notable feature, the mirror-clad exterior, which makes the rectangular home stand out from the crowd. It is from this unique attribute of the house that its name derives; reflecting the panorama of nature around it, the house itself seems to have vanished in the landscape as it appears to dissolve into it.

There is no distinction between the indoors and outside of the building once you are inside, thanks to the massive floor-to-ceiling windows that cover the entire space. It is a unique property due to the fact that it is cantilevered about 100 feet in the air and faces west, so people inside are able to experience the spectacular desert sunsets.

Located in Joshua Tree, California, the Invisible House boasts a 100-foot pool which flows across the length of the living room. It offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding desert and an undeniably extraordinary way to become immersed in its surroundings. In addition to the pool, the 5,500-square-foot home is also equipped with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a 222-square-foot projection wall, which is an impressive addition to the interior. “Bringing the Invisible House to market for the first time ever is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Aaron Kirman and Matt Adamo, the listing agents at AKG | Christie’s International Real Estate who will be assisting in the auction process.

The mirror house has a striking presence as it is located within the midst of largely untouched surroundings (it sits on 90 acres of land), making its presence even more striking because of its setting. The Rich Report describes this parcel of land as the largest privately owned parcel of land bordering Joshua Tree National Park that has ever been identified.

Due to its design centered on the environment, it’s no wonder that many eco-friendly elements are also seen throughout the house, such as foam roofs and solar panels, which help make it a more eco-friendly place to live. Furthermore, the listing agents said, “This architectural triumph located in the middle of the desert provides unique intangibles that can only be experienced at the property itself.”
