Pioneertown, sitting on the outskirts of California’s San Bernardino County, is an 1880s-themed town featured in a plethora of scenes. In fact, it was founded for filming purposes by Hollywood investors in the 1940s. And, a house there has its own claim to fame with a solid Instagram following, tons of recognition for its beautiful, minimalist design, and allure as an operating Airbnb. Asking $674,999, the desert home dubbed ‘Casa Mami’ could become the unexpected star of your real estate portfolio.
Modest in its interior space but boasting 2.65 acres of land, the adobe-style dwelling is a breath of fresh air. L in white stucco, the abode is compact yet encased in large black windows to maximize the space. Featured in Domino, Goop, Dwell, and Trendland, the home was also longlisted in the Hotel and Short Stay interior project category by the Dezeen Awards. Working Holiday Studio is to thank for all this praise. They curated all that you see, outfitting the two-bedroom spread with a mid-century fireplace from Malm and French doors from La Cantina to tie the whole space together.
“Branded as Casa Mami, this special property was curated with designer and architect influence as a minimalist desert retreat featuring an array of modern brands,” said listing agent Rachel Weitzbuch of Compass Realty. “The curated designer touches make it a stunning eco-friendly home. Pioneertown is a hot vacation rental market, and Casa Mami has been operating as an Airbnb since 2018.”
The price may seem relatively inexpensive for something of this size, but to sweeten the deal are all the furnishings, current Airbnb account, its personal website, and the Instagram account with over 12,000 followers. Plus, the eco-friendly home functions completely off-the-grid and is run entirely by solar power.
