Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A single-level Mediterranean-style desert house built for groups who want space without compromise – six bedrooms each with its own bathroom, a kitchen and dining area that open out to the terrace, and a resort-style pool and hot tub framed by sweeping mountain views. Evenings are easy here, between the outdoor fireplace, the barbecue, and skies that seem to stretch forever. There's also a private tennis court when you feel like it. Palm Springs' downtown art and dining scene is close by, and Joshua Tree National Park is around fifty-nine minutes away by car.
