About This Home

A quiet, design-forward refuge on five pristine acres in the high desert, Heiwa Cottage balances simplicity with a rare sense of intention. Thoughtfully reimagined and updated throughout in 2021 with meticulous attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, the home was shaped with a focus on form, function, and timeless comfort. Its inspiration, part Scandinavian fisherman's cottage, part Japanese country home, comes through in the warmth, restraint, and quiet beauty that define the space. Inside, two bedrooms and two bathrooms are unified by flagstone floors and an original brick fireplace that anchors the living room. The primary suite opens directly to a sun-washed patio with a pool, spa, and outdoor shower, creating an effortless indoor outdoor flow that feels natural to desert living. Set within an incredible native garden, the property blends seamlessly into its surroundings, offering privacy and an unmistakable sense of place. Brought to life by Todd Nickey, co-founder of the acclaimed design studio Nickey Kehoe, Heiwa Cottage stands as a refined and rare retreat in Yucca Mesa, equally suited as a full-time residence, an incredible vacation home, or a high-performing short-term rental. Just 15 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park.
