Invisible rock house for sale in California has a meadow on the roof

A unique international home on the market offers the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Named The Boulder House, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom property in Joshua Tree in southern California resembles a large rock and has a surprise on the roof.

“Designed to be almost invisible from the road”, as stated on the listing, the roof is “disguised as a lush meadow”.

The one-of-a-kind home has a price guide of $US1.5 million ($2,295,000) and agent Shen Schulz of Sotheby’s International Realty Malibu Brokerage is handling the campaign.

Built in 2009 and designed by landscape architect Garett Carlson, the property is smack bang in the heart of the Californian desert.

Incredible listing photos reveal a home that’s “enveloped by a special collection of specimen shrubs, trees and cacti”.

The buyer and their guests will also be able to gaze out at cottonwood trees and the rugged landscape of Joshua Tree National Park.

Interiors take on an industrial aesthetic with polished concrete floors, corrugated iron detail, steel beams and glass stacker doors.

There’s ample space to entertain or kick back and relax with a garden patio, hot tub, fire pit, sauna and watering hole.

The pool also makes for a great Instagram moment with its surrounding rock formation and waterfall feature.

Joshua Tree in southern California is known for its nature trails, camping and rock climbing.
