Sylvestre at Masseria Morongo is a modern 3-bedroom desert home between Joshua Tree and Palm Springs, designed with Passive House principles and framed by open mountain views. Clean lines, quiet interiors, and soft natural light make it an ideal backdrop for photo and video shoots. Sliding doors open the living spaces to the desert, with a heated cowboy tub, outdoor soaking tub and shower, and multiple outdoor vignettes that shoot beautifully from sunrise to stars. About the Space Set on five private acres, Sylvestre was created with sustainability and serenity in mind. The airtight, energy-efficient build keeps the space quiet and thermally balanced, which works well for sound-sensitive shoots. Natural stone, plaster, and untreated wood create an organic, minimal setting that lets product, talent, and wardrobe stand out. The main living area is open plan, with a modern kitchen, large island, and dining area that all photograph well from different angles. Three bedrooms can be styled as scenes or used as wardrobe, glam, or client holding. Bathrooms have a spa-like feel with simple, elevated finishes that read very well on camera.
