A true European-inspired retreat in the heart of the desert, this exceptional 4,337 sq ft residence in the exclusive Palms Country Club combines refined Old-World elegance with contemporary comfort and commanding views. Set on an interior fairway with no homes across the 7th hole, the property captures sweeping vistas of the lush green course, sparkling lake, and dramatic Santa Rosa Mountains. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, the home is rich with architectural character–arched passageways, soaring beamed ceilings, extensive stonework, and stately columns create a sense of timeless charm. Inside, you’ll find travertine flooring, multiple fireplaces, beautiful wood built-ins, granite slab countertops, custom cabinetry, and detailed mosaic inlays throughout. The expansive Great Room floor plan is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, featuring a full sit-down bar and seamless flow to the outdoor living spaces. The chef’s kitchen includes a commercial stovetop, stainless steel appliances, a custom flume hood, and a generous center island. The luxurious primary suite offers two spacious walk-in closets, a romantic fireplace, and a spa-like bathroom with a sunken tub framed in marble, complete with its own fireplace for added ambiance. Step outside to a spectacular resort-style setting: a large pavered patio, pool and spa with cascading water features, built-in BBQ, firepit, and multiple seating areas–all designed to enjoy unforgettable desert sunsets. The detached casita with private entrance offers beautifully appointed guest accommodations. Additional highlights include a 600+ bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar, custom window shutters, a 3-car garage, and a beautifully landscaped lot over a quarter acre. A rare blend of privacy, sophistication, and stunning natural beauty–this is desert living at its most refined.
