This renowned Airbnb, which seemingly disappears into its natural surroundings, could be the ideal holiday retreat for those seeking a private escape.
The concealed home blends so well into its rocky environs that a potential renter may have to squint to see it.
'Imagine a piece of modern art … one of the most spectacular homes in the world on all of Airbnb,' said Brian Chesky, CEO of Airbnb.
At $3500 per night, the experience it offers almost justifies the price.
Known as the 'invisible house,' the mirrored residence was designed by film producer Chris Hanley and Frank Gehry collaborator Tomas Osinski.
Their vision was to build a mansion that directly connects inhabitants with the environment.
The home features a mirrored-glass exterior that seamlessly bridges the gap between indoor and outdoor space.
Celebrities such as Lizzo, Diplo, and Demi Lovato have stayed at the property, which also featured on Netflix's The Most Amazing Vacation Rentals and Selling Sunset.
Although countless influencers have captured content at home, the beloved residence in the Mojave Desert is essentially an Instagram celebrity in its own right.
Set on 36 hectares with a 30m pool in the living room, the home has three bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The elongate minimalist house spans 510 sqm and also has a separate prefabricated house on wheels.
Resembling a large, mirrored, rectangular container, the house features 3.5-metre ceilings and ample space for private enjoyment or entertaining.
The home also offers a holistic human experience with a unique interior design concept.
A notable feature is the indoor 30-metre, solar-heated swimming pool which runs along the home's west wall.
Movie nights under the stars are a uniquely dramatic affair here, thanks to the 20 sqm white wall designed for screening films at the end of the pool.
Inside, there's a world-class chef's kitchen featuring dual ovens, a separate refrigerator and freezer, marble surfaces, and Miele, Sub-Zero, and Wolf appliances, all anchored on concrete flooring.
You'll also find an entire wall of sliding glass doors that open to the breathtaking landscape, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living spaces. And for the truly daring, there's also an all-glass, exposed shower.
In the primary suite, highlights include a resort-style bath with a soaking tub, floating vanities, and a rain shower. The home is even equipped with special filters for the eradication of dust, bacteria, and viruses.
It might be a tough place to stay during summer months when temperatures regularly crest 37 degrees. But for hardy souls and nature lovers, it's adjacent to a gated nature and tortoise reserve.
And if you enjoy your stay, you can always place an offer to buy the place outright. It's still available for $27.6 million (USD$17,950,000), an asking price that has remained unchanged since the home was initially listed in 2023.
