Set within the gates of Rancho La Quinta Country Club, this distinguished estate located on a cul-de-sac street defines elevated desert luxury. This is one of those rare homes where the photos do not do the home justice. This is a Must See Home. Poised on a tremendous, well positioned and over sized 16,553 sq. ft. lot, the residence commands expansive south and west views of the Santa Rosa Mountains and foothills, capturing dramatic light, vivid sunsets, and an exceptional sense of privacy. Elevated above the emerald expanse of the 9th fairway of the Jerry Pate Championship Golf Course, the setting is both serene and visually captivating. The outdoor environment rivals a private resort. A showstopping pool and spa are artfully designed with cascading waterfalls, surrounded by mature citrus trees, an expansive BBQ island, a dimensional outdoor Kiva fireplace, and a private putting green, each element thoughtfully placed to frame the mountain and fairway backdrop. Hand-laid paver pathways lead to multiple patios ideal for intimate gatherings or grand-scale entertaining, while a detached guest casita offers refined, secluded accommodation for visitors. Inside, a dramatic entry foyer with a custom stone waterfall announces a home of exceptional craftsmanship and detail. Natural stone flooring, bespoke lighting, and refined finishes create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a statement of form and function, featuring slab granite countertops, custom millwork, premium stainless-steel appliances, dual ovens including a steam oven, a walk-in pantry, and an oversized center island designed for both culinary excellence and effortless entertaining. Living spaces are warm and polished, anchored by a custom entertainment wall and a fireplace with limestone mantle and surrounds. A dedicated home theater with Murphy bed provides remarkable flexibility, easily transitioning from cinematic retreat to executive office or guest suite. Offered furnished per Inventory List and complemented by a two-car plus golf cart garage, this exceptional residence presents a rare opportunity to experience iconic desert living at its most luxurious where architecture, setting, and lifestyle converge in perfect harmony.
