Total privacy. Unforgettable sunsets. 15 min to El Paseo.
STR 003615
The Space:
There are desert homes, and then there is VISTA. Perched in the Cahuilla Hills above South Palm Desert and etched into the mountain itself, this architect-designed estate feels less like a vacation rental and more like a cinematic set piece, the kind of property that stops you cold the moment you arrive. Floor-to-ceiling glass wraps the entire rear of the home, framing an uninterrupted panorama of the valley floor, the rolling desert hills, and the golf course below. At sunset, the sky turns extraordinary shades of amber and rose, reflected in the surface of the extra-long lap pool that stretches along the mountain's edge.
Inside, the architecture is bold and warm in equal measure: a floor-to-ceiling natural stone fireplace anchors the living room, walnut cabinetry lines the chef's kitchen, and polished concrete floors run throughout. The dining room seats 10 beneath a sculptural pendant chandelier, with the valley stretching to the horizon through walls of glass. Every room opens directly to the outdoors, this home was designed to dissolve the line between inside and out.
The outdoor terrace is a full outdoor living room: a covered fire pit lounge, outdoor kitchen and BBQ, al fresco dining, and the lap pool with spa, all facing the valley. Evenings out here, with the Sonos system running and the desert going quiet below, are genuinely hard to leave.
