As I was reading all Real Estate this week, I came across The Invisible House. It's in Joshua Tree California. It's not really invisible, it's more like mirrors. Maybe even 'smoke & mirrors', particularly if you dig a little deeper.
I found it in an ad type situation, listed for sale, for 18M dollars. Two Realtors with a white Porsche were skipping around the property and showing off the ginormous rock views from inside looking out.
And, the pool? The pool is inside, in the living room!
This is the AirBnb link if you want to see all the pictures or maybe to book a night or two!
Why'd I put this on my blog? Well, it was Real Estate related, wild, and thought some might find it interesting. I read some early reviews, indicated that the owner had canceled the wedding booking for a gal, she had to supposedly work out refund payment arrangements with the owner to get her deposit back. Wow, if that's true.
Others say it is incredible. "The Invisible House is an architectural marvel. It's an amazing place to visit and is surrounded by the beautiful Joshua Tree scenery. It's like being on another planet. We had a fantastic stay! Easy access to Joshua Tree National Park and the property is so large it's having a piece of Joshua Tree all to yourself."
The Airbnb site says the home was 're-launched' in November of 2022 with Fieldtrip Hospitality.
To me, it looks like a semi-truck container mirror house, but, if you don't want to click the link, this is what they say about the Invisible House:

We invite guests to experience the most unique desert home on the planet, and one of the best-known homes in the world: the Invisible House.
This one-of-a-kind masterpiece was designed by veteran film producer Chris Hanley.
Featured in countless music videos, television shows and dozens of publications worldwide (including Netflix, Robb Report, Architectural Digest, Washington Post, People, Daily Mail, Dezeen, and Maxim), this sleek 5,500 sq. ft. minimalist retreat is set on 90 breathtaking acres comprising the largest privately-owned parcel of land abutting Joshua Tree National Park.
An exploration in contrasts, the mirrored 22-story horizontal skyscraper features an entirely reflective facade that absorbs its surroundings and vanishes into the desert landscape. The juxtaposition of sleek minimalism and ancient desert terrain makes Invisible House a singularly definitive structure in blending modern architecture with the natural world.
You and your guests will have complete access to the 3 bedrooms in the main house and the 1 bedroom in the detached casita. All are outfitted with top-of-the-line linens, bedding, and spa like ensuite bathrooms. Congregate in the open floorplan and feel connected to nature, no matter where you are in the home. Bring the outside in by opening the floor to ceiling sliding glass doors and fully embrace the Joshua Tree experience.
