Discover a rare architectural treasure in the serene Pinyon Crest Community. Designed by renowned architect Charles Martin, celebrated for his visionary work on the Rancho Mirage Observatory and St. Garabed Armenian Church. This distinctive residence was originally envisioned as Martin’s own personal retreat. Every line, angle, and space reflect his signature blend of innovative design and harmony with the surrounding landscape, creating a home that is as much a work of art as it is a place to live. With sustainability at its core, the home is thoughtfully designed with thermally broken walls for superior insulation, energy-efficient glazing for optimal comfort, and a state-of-the-art Tesla solar system to harness clean, renewable energy. The broader Pinyon Crest area carries a rich legacy as both a celebrity retreat and a canvas for remarkable architecture. From Frank Sinatra’s former desert hideaway to an array of distinctive homesteads, this community has long attracted those seeking privacy, inspiration, and timeless design. Set on approximately 2.5 acres of rugged, rocky terrain, the residence commands attention with its Brutalist silhouette and raw, exposed concrete surfaces. Perched within view of HWY 74, it has become a quiet point of intrigue for passersby and a conversation piece among locals. Now, the home awaits a discerning new owner to bring the project to completion, offering the rare opportunity to infuse a master architect’s vision with your own personal touch.
