The Wheelhouse is a rare mid-century-meets-funky high-desert estate in Twentynine Palms, set on 12 private acres just minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park 29 Palms entrance. Formerly owned by television personality Huell Howser, this architecturally distinct ranch offers wide-open desert landscapes, sculptural design elements, and iconic indoor-outdoor living—ideal for film, TV, editorial, and commercial productions. The property features unobstructed desert and mountain views, a full-length pool with round spa, fire pit, expansive patios, and an industrial steel perimeter fence designed by Belzberg Architects. Interiors blend authentic 1950s details with curated art, mid-century furnishings, and flexible shooting spaces filled with natural light. Quiet, private, and visually rich, The Wheelhouse offers cinematic scale with easy access from Palm Springs (under one hour). A unique, story-driven location well suited for creative productions seeking character, texture, and true desert atmosphere.
