The turnkey residence includes premium furnishings, complete with vintage, bespoke and designer pieces. Walled and gated, private grounds extend approximately 32,670 square feet and cater to memorable entertaining with a zero-edge pool with Baja entry, spacious patios, a shade pavilion and sweeping mountain and valley views. Inspired landscaping reveals the talents of Marcello Villano, who has created stunning gardens including those at Jennifer Aniston's Bel Air home. Interiors framed in walls of glass measure nearly 4,900 square feet and host five bedrooms and five- and one-half baths. Renowned throughout the Coachella Valley, architect Howard Lapham created the single-level residence, which offers outstanding scale and impressive interiors from designer Sheldon Harte. Views to the backyard and beyond greet guests in the foyer, which introduces gallery-sized living areas with high ceilings, poured-in-place terrazzo flooring throughout, original stone walls, Venetian plaster and custom lighting. The living room displays a fireplace and beautiful vistas, an intimate den presents a walk-in wet bar and leather-paneled wall, and the kitchen blends period style with modern convenience. Details include cedar ceilings in select locations, furnishings from Knoll, Artemide light fixtures, glass tiles imported from Italy, and Kelly Wearstler wallpaper. Showcased on the pages of ELLE Decor, this era-defining home treats everyone to comfort and privacy. A detached two-room guest house is privately situated close to the outdoor amenities. The primary suite offers two bathrooms, a stainless-steel soaking tub, cork-lined dressing room, and an exterior patio with rain shower. The estate's exceptionally exclusive address within guard-gated Thunderbird Heights is moments from Thunderbird Country Club's famous 18-hole golf course, and only minutes from downtown Palm Springs, its international airport, and endless recreational opportunities across the valley.
