THE MOTHERHOUSE & THE DOLLHOUSE - Two detached, single-story residences, one cinematic desert retreat, offered together.

Both residences are offered together as one property. Designed by Hollywood colorist and filmmaker Edo Brizio, the property reflects a cinematic approach to desert living.

Custom cabinetry, microcement kitchen and bathroom countertops, textured interior plaster and integrated architectural lighting bring warmth and depth to the contemporary design. Two symmetrical primary suites anchor the Motherhouse, each designed with a custom walk-in closet, two-person whirlpool tub and dedicated projection system - individual retreats combining spa-inspired relaxation with a private film-screening experience. In the completed design, every primary bedroom across both residences opens onto its respective pool area. The completed vision includes two private heated swimming pools, one for each home; an in-ground spa at the Motherhouse and an above-ground spa at the Dollhouse; three indoor whirlpool tubs; a sauna; a pickleball court; two fire pits with built-in concrete seating; and a two-car garage.
