AMAR | Pioneertown | Homestead Modern, LLC

AMAR by Homestead Modern is a dramatic and intimate, Hammer & Spear designed desert retreat crafted with dark wood interiors and natural materials to seamlessly connect High-Desert landscape with indoor sanctuary. Tucked into a private Rimrock lot with direct access to hundreds of acres of protected land, this brand-new custom build pairs intentional studio-style living with panoramic sunset views, a saltwater pool and a detached hot tub set among ancient boulders.
