A one-of-a-kind home near a remote Australian town looks like it was pulled from the Mexican desert with a colorful facade and exterior inspired by the Central American country.
The desert oasis lies 10km south of Alice Springs, in the suburb of Ross, at the foot of the MacDonnell Ranges, on a vast 5.7-acre cactus-covered block.
Outside, the original home features a hacienda-style exterior with earthy stucco rendering, an ornate wooden front door, a flat roof and wood detailing.
The theme continues inside as each room is a colorful display filled with original Mexican trinkets, from sombreros on the wall to macrame wall hangings.
Upon entering the home, guests are greeted with high ceilings and terracotta tiled floors in the entryway which opens into a formal dining room overlooking the desert gardens outside.
In the middle of the Australian desert, near a regional town, sits a unique house that looks like it came straight from Mexico, with colorful decor and an epic garden.

Double-paned glass doors open to the artist’s garden with a sparkling pool and a vibrant cobalt blue and sunny yellow outdoor kitchen with built-in seating, all with nods to Mexico like chiminea and la wooden pergola by the swimming pool.

Back inside, wet areas feature hand-painted ceramic sinks imported from Mexico and one bathroom has a luxurious spa set beneath a glass-block window.
There’s also a home theater with vibrant red walls, movie posters and movie-style seating as well as a games room and music room.

The five-bedroom property has been put on the market with an asking price of $1,775,000.
Ross hasn’t made enough sales in the past year, so the median house price for the area can’t be determined, but in Alice Springs it sits at $515,000.
