Description
This private resort-like compound on over two and half verdant acres features five structures designed in modern Pueblo Revival-style and contains resonances of its equestrian past. A long gated drive lined with old growth carob trees transports one to the sprawling property, composed of a spacious main house, two guest houses, an ancillary building, and a three car garage as well as a long list of well-appointed amenities - an 80 foot pool, spa, tennis court, party pavilion, firepit, putting green, bocce ball court, horseshoes, hammock and basketball area. There is also a fruit orchard with guava, lemon, pear, pomelo, avocado, fig, and mango trees. The property was initially built as an equestrian ranch by one of the preeminent developer's of the Coachella Valley for his wife. The horse stables have since been transformed into a gym, office and guest house. The thoughtful renovation of the equine spaces retain their rustic atmosphere with vestiges including the sliding stable doors of the horse stalls. One stable, the tack room, and the polo field pasture remain for horse lovers. The capacious main house is accessed through a dramatic colonnade. Its social spaces, including a living room, den, media room, wet bar and dining area, flow into each other and outside onto shaded courtyards with decades-old cactuses. One such courtyard includes an outdoor dining room with a fireplace and barbeque. The home's sophisticated interiors include aspects of Pueblo Revival-style such as thick adobe-style walls and viga and latilla ceilings. Warm flagstone floors flow throughout the interior and exterior spaces, adding another natural texture to the home's thoughtful warm simplicity. The main home features two bedrooms. The primary bedroom with its kiva fireplace and built-in corner bench includes a spa-like bathroom with a walled cactus garden, custom stained glass in the shower room and large tub for soaking. The home's meandering plan and network of covered outdoor spaces offer numerous paths to explore this enchanting property with its other structures, pool, tennis court, and multiple surprises. Sold furnished per inventory.
