Shores of Saturn · Tiki Boat Bar, Hot Tub, Quonset

Summary:

A full-sized 1969 Chris Craft motor yacht sits inside a massive Quonset hut at Shores of Saturn, out in North Joshua Tree's Hidden River neighborhood 12 minutes from downtown and the Integratron, and it is now a working tiki bar. Mix a drink at the boat bar, spin a record on the vintage McIntosh sound system, then settle into the six-person hot tub under the stars across 15 private acres. Floor-to-ceiling windows open on both sides to the desert in this two-bedroom home.



The Space:

Shores of Saturn is a massive Quonset hut on 15 private acres in North Joshua Tree, combining industrial design with refined interiors, very tall ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that open on both sides to desert and mountain views. At its center is a full-sized 1969 Chris Craft motor yacht reimagined as a working tiki boat bar. Century-old Persian, Turkish and Kazakh rugs, tiki artifacts, cosmic decor and a vintage McIntosh sound system fill the open layout. With two bedrooms, it suits couples and small groups of up to five.
