Perched on a hillside with amazing Palm Desert views -- and just two miles from the El Paseo shopping district -- this private, five-acre, gated estate awaits for quiet, romantic getaways. With downtown Palm Desert and the El Paseo shopping district accessible in 3 miles, this hidden haven feels worlds away from your day-to-day. Palm Springs is a short drive away, and Joshua Tree National Park is an easy day trip. Hiking paths are accessible right out of the front gate. The final trip to your destination prepares you for the remote solitude, as the road is designed to maintain the remote character of the neighborhood and its natural environment. This is a paved, single-lane road without streetlights.
The sunlit living room features plush furnishings, artisanal decor, an electric fireplace, and a 60" TV. Enjoy unencumbered 180-degree, panoramic, cliffside views of the entire Coachella Valley and mountain ranges from every room inside, as well as the sparkling pool and spa. Floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors offer a seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining space to the 2,200-square-foot floor plan. Original architecture design offers a classic light and airy desert living experience. Highlights include two sumptuous suites plus a gourmet kitchen. Stainless steel appliances and granite countertops shine in the gourmet kitchen. Keep the cook company at the kitchen bar, while an elegant dining room table seats guests as well. Gather for meals on the covered veranda or take the path through an enchanted yard to a hidden dining patio.
Towering hedges and a lush lawn create the atmosphere of a secret garden. Take in the spectacular views while relaxing on the covered veranda or follow the stone path to a secluded patio with a gas grill and a dining table. Lovely landscaping and comfy loungers encircle the sprawling pool deck. Admire immaculate valley vistas while you unwind in the heated pool and spa.
*Privately Maintained Road* - The city does not maintain the road leading to this home. Please note that, although safe, the road is designed to maintain the remote character of the neighborhood. This is a paved, single-lane road without streetlights.

Review Score:   8
Summary: Overall wonderful property, house, pool, view, etc. Landscapers came from 12-2pm using blowers which made a huge dust mess. This was a few hours after the pool man just came to clean the pool. We were unable to use the pool/outside during the most ideal time of day. I would have appreciated landscaping coming after we had checked out the following day or in the morning when we would not be using the pool and yard.
