Off-grid estate for sale combines sleekness with solitude. Check out the CA home
Living off-grid doesn’t mean you have to grow a beard, learn to speak to bears and wolves, and live off berries you find deep in the forest. At least, it doesn’t have to be.
Welcome to The Saturn Haus, a sophisticated desert masterpiece that serves as a modernist sanctuary in Joshua Tree, California. It’s listed for $14.99 million.
The home was “built by writer and creative Wendy Wacker, the great-granddaughter of Charles H. Wacker—chair of the Chicago Plan Commission in the early 1900s who helped bring famed architect Daniel Burnham’s urban planning vision to life,” a news release on the house says.
And the end result is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom work of art.

“Framed by the vast, untamed expanse of Joshua Tree, The Saturn Haus is a fully self-sustaining micro-grid compound that redefines the very notion of luxury off-grid living,” the listing on the Charlie Price Group says.
“Bold in vision and flawless in execution, this architectural triumph harmonizes art, nature, and modern design with effortless precision.”
So much for living in a 300-square-foot shack in the woods.

- Private guest suites
- Wellness retreat
- Rooftop viewing deck

But the sustainability is really the heart of the property, especially for anyone who just wants to escape the world.
“Forged from concrete, steel, and glass, the structure balances elemental strength with understated elegance,” the listing says.
“Sustainability lies at its core: an advanced photovoltaic solar array and wind turbine power daily life, while innovative thermal technology sustains the sleek lap pool, ensuring comfort with minimal impact.”
So the home is not just a beautiful face — but it does come with remarkable views of the surroundings and the epic desert night sky.
The listing is held by Charlie Price.
Joshua Tree is about a 125-mile drive east of Los Angeles.
