The Space:
Rancho Panoramo stands quietly in the desert, its form shaped by the land around it. Designed to embrace the shifting light and vast horizons, the house draws you in—and everywhere you stand is part of the experience.
Step inside to an open, airy space filled with natural light. The 50-foot sliding glass doors invite you to explore the raw beauty of the outdoors, effortlessly blending your indoor and outdoor living experience. As you gaze out, you’ll have an unobstructed view of the iconic Joshua trees and rugged mountains – a view you’ll never tire of.
Gather in the courtyard, where our massive wood-burning pizza oven stands ready for Neapolitan pies, wood-fired steaks, or flash-charred vegetables. Loads of counter space make it easy to prep and plate. Serve up outside at the solid slab table, or bring it on in to the dining room for a more intimate setting. We designed these kitchens to flow together, letting you move seamlessly between open flame and precision cooking.
Take a dip in the cowboy tub or unwind in the wood-burning hot tub for moments of pure relaxation. As the sun sets, transition to the thoughtfully designed listening room—a place for curated sound that’s perfect for music lovers, or a movie theater experience that rivals the cinema. Lose yourself in the rich acoustics or immerse in a theater-quality film!
This desert retreat isn't just a getaway; it’s a place to connect, slow down, and experience the profound beauty of the desert. Rancho Panoramo is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and create unforgettable memories.

Rancho Panoramo is a study of craftsmanship and simplicity, employing a 'hand-crafted' approach to home construction. The space resonates with a profound affection for wood, evident in the western red cedar siding on the exterior, while the interiors are clad in vertical grain hemlock. Throughout, bespoke furniture crafted from a variety of wood species adorns the space, featuring ambrosia maple headboards, vintage white oak tables and doors, and kitchen cabinetry meticulously fashioned from old-growth European oak. The home stands as a testament to the innate power and captivating personality of this natural material.
The heart of the home lies within the open living area, awash with natural light streaming through panoramic glass doors. Here, the kitchen stands as a central hub, boasting a spacious centerpiece island that beckons guests to gather while others prepare and cook. Fully equipped with everything a chef requires to craft high-quality dishes—top-tier appliances, cookware, knives, and an array of kitchen tools—the space is a haven for culinary creativity.
Venturing beyond the indoor cooking space, an adjoining outdoor kitchen revolves around a generous wood-fired pizza oven. Its versatility extends far beyond pizzas, lending itself perfectly to grilling steaks, roasting vegetables, baking bread, or even slow-cooking pork. This space becomes a memorable hub for cooking, naturally drawing people together, fostering engaging conversations, laughter, and the sharing of experiences.
In the art of presentation, we've curated an enchanting collection of plates, bowls, and silverware, elevating every meal to a special occasion. Outdoors, a magnificent 12-foot table crafted from a single slab of Brazilian Afromosia beckons, comfortably seating 10 with a stunning nighttime view of the moon hovering over the national park. Indoors, a spacious 9-foot table offers an intimate setting for eight, beautifully illuminated by pendant lights, creating an inviting ambiance.
The bathroom is a serene retreat within itself, featuring a large soaking tub offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape, inviting you to relax in tranquility while immersing yourself in the desert's beauty. The bathroom is fully clad in aromatic cedar, creating a serene and calming ambiance for your relaxation. Additionally, the shower boasts tadelakt, a traditional Moroccan plaster finish that adds both style and functionality to your daily routines.
Adjacent to the main house, Rancho Panoramo offers an audiophile's dream—a dedicated room with state-of-the-art acoustic design. Immerse yourself in pristine audio quality while enveloped by panoramic mountain views through an expansive 11' wide window. With a seamless transformation, the room morphs into a screening theater, complete with Dolby Atmos surround sound, a 4k projector, and a curated library of high-resolution movies and live concert films.
