Featured in Desert Magazine, Architectural Digest, and Lonely Planet.
Outpost Projects is a new and forward-thinking way of combining the beauty of the desert and life among museum-quality art for art lovers and desert adventurers. Set on 5 acres of pristine desert filled with Joshua Trees and 360 degree spectacular views, Outpost is conveniently located 10-20 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, the Integratron, Pappy and Harriet's/ Pioneertown, Pipes Canyon and downtown Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree.
Outpost Projects was created by artists with pure inspiration in mind and is truly a unique experience. Combining modern creature comforts with a fantastic selection of contemporary art, visitors can enjoy the completely renovated mid-century modern home (two new queen memory foam beds, couch, central air and heat, polished concrete floors, artisanal details, all new appliances) and on-site artwork, including rotating exhibitions that include both indoor artwork, and an outdoor sculpture garden on the property. There is a detailed map so that you can take the tour of the art on the property.
Outpost Projects has been a labor of love, set in one of the most extraordinary settings in the United States. When staying with us, you are supporting the vibrant art community of the high desert while enjoying a completely unique art immersion experience. As the stars brighten the desert sky, you can enjoy the beauty of the desert and stay in a home that has been consciously created to be a serene place of beauty, creativity, and inspiration.
We hope you enjoy this beautiful property as much as we have and hope your stay at Outpost Projects is an unforgettable one. Please tell us a little about yourselves and your plans in Joshua Tree. We look forward to hearing from you.
