Kosen - Architectural Retreat - Pool, Spa & Sauna

Summary:

Welcome to Kosen, a sleek modern desert retreat perched on a peaceful hillside with panoramic desert and mountain views. Spend your days lounging by the private pool, soaking in the hot tub, unwinding in the sauna or enjoying friendly competition on the putting greens before gathering around the fire pit beneath star-filled skies. Every detail invites you to slow down, connect and experience the beauty of the High Desert.



The Space:

Thoughtfully designed with clean architectural lines and a warm contemporary aesthetic, Kosen seamlessly blends modern luxury with curated artistic expression. Throughout the home, original artwork created by the homeowner transforms the space into a private gallery, giving the home a distinctive personality that is both refined and welcoming.



Expansive windows and oversized sliding glass doors flood the interiors with natural light while framing sweeping desert and mountain views from nearly every room. Polished concrete floors, rich walnut cabinetry, minimalist finishes and carefully selected furnishings create an atmosphere that feels sophisticated, yet comfortable.



Designed to blur the line between indoors and outdoor living, the home invites guests to move easily from quiet mornings with coffee overlooking the desert to afternoons by the pool and evenings gathered beneath some of the clearest night skies in Southern California. Whether you're reconnecting with loved ones, celebrating a special occasion or simply escaping the pace of everyday life, every space encourages you to slow down and settle into the beauty of the High Desert.
