About This Property

There are desert properties, and then there are those rare places that feel as though they were meant to be discovered.

Set on just under five acres with sweeping views toward Mt. San Jacinto, this thoughtfully curated desert estate is unlike anything else in the valley. Unpretentious yet undeniably luxurious, the property welcomes you without pretense. From the moment you arrive, there is a sense of ease-a feeling that everything is exactly where it should be.

The main residence and separate casita are connected by a design that feels deeply rooted in the landscape. Concrete floors run throughout, while a custom handmade staircase rises toward the primary suite, its sculptural form echoing the mountains beyond. The kitchen was created to gather, with the space and amenities to accommodate a crowd, yet the home never loses its relaxed, effortless character.

And then there is the outdoor experience: a pool, jacuzzi, expansive desert views, and nearly five acres of High Desert landscape to call your own. A metal roof, solar, EV charging station, casita, and other thoughtful amenities quietly elevate the property without ever making it feel overdone.

Short-term rental permit in place, operations continue uninterrupted at sale with the buyer submitting for their own permit within 30 days per San Bernardino county. Local property management can assist with the transaction. The opportunity is there for those who see it.

The solar and well are priceless.

Just minutes from Palm Springs International Airport, Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneertown, local restaurants, and the farmers market, this is a property that offers both seclusion and connection.

A desert estate with soul.

A place to gather, retreat, create, and simply be.

Paradise found.
