The sandstone terrain of Palm Desert welcomes you to this spectacular home – a one-acre gem of resort-style grounds and country club interiors. The slab granite countertops mixed with pastel green cupboards give the kitchen, the home's hub of activity, a sense of personality and character (homemade delights should certainly be served up here). Gather your ensemble after a day of golfing on one of the many nearby courses (Golf Course Lane is an eleven-minute drive away). The backyard is surrounded by tall palms and citrus with the waterfall swimming pool at its heart. Whether you want to take a dip, read a novel on your lounger or practice your pitch on the putting green, it's easy to lose yourself in this beautiful landscape. Further afield, playful Palm Springs is a half-hour drive from your door – a hive of eclectic restaurants and nightlife. Those keen to get back to nature will be delighted with the home's desert location. Drive to the sublime Indian Canyons in less than thirty minutes or hike the trails of the surrounding Santa Rosa Mountains – cameras at the ready, these views are otherworldly.
