Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This desert home is all about wide horizons and effortless living. From the saltwater pool you can watch the sun dip behind the mountains, or linger by the firepit as the cool desert night settles in. Inside, sunlight streams through big windows onto generous spaces made for gathering – cocktails at the bar, a game of billiards, or a quiet dinner together. Bedrooms feel like private retreats, each one designed for rest after a day on the course, hiking through the desert, or visiting the restaurants and eateries of nearby Palm Springs.
