Outdoor Area
The outdoor area of Amber’s home is already an attraction in itself. It doesn’t need a lot of formal landscaping as the Mojave Desert does a great job of beautifying it on its own. The estate’s spectacular views are as gorgeous during the day as it is during the night. Aside from the breathtaking natural views, these are the features that make the home’s exterior area truly unique:
- Backyard bridge – A 110-foot wooden bridge connects the main house to the part of the property that sits on the nearby hill. Thanks to the previous owner who built the bridge. The bridge hangs over a rugged patch of land and leads to a hill-top gazebo.
- Hillside gazebo – A wooden gazebo stands just across the bridge and on the side of a hill. On nights with clear blue skies, the area is the perfect spot for hangout sessions and stargazing. During the day, the area can give you a stunning view of the entirety of the Yucca Valley. From the gazebo, one can see the rugged hills, stony pathways, and hills with sparse shrubbery.
