Property Description
Set within the architecturally significant Tierra Del Sol community in Rancho Mirage, this 1956 Mid-Century Modern residence embodies the timeless clarity of desert modernism. Designed by Richard Leitch, FAIA and developed by Robert McCulloch, Tierra Del Sol earned national recognition with an AIA award for its master planning -- a thoughtfully composed enclave of just 39 homes arranged around shared green space and a central clubhouse. Hidden just off Bob Hope Drive, it remains one of Rancho Mirage's quiet architectural treasures. This home has been carefully renovated to preserve its design integrity while elevating livability for today's lifestyle. Inside, terrazzo-style flooring flows throughout the open plan, anchoring the interiors with a classic mid-century palette. Clerestory windows bring in soft natural light, while warm wood cabinetry and clean white surfaces reinforce the architectural rhythm of line, light, and material. The flexible layout offers a primary suite, a secondary suite, and a third bedroom, providing privacy for guests or multi-generational living -- a rare advantage in historic modernist homes. Outside, the home embraces the desert landscape with citrus trees -- grapefruit, tangerine, and orange -- creating a private garden that reflects Rancho Mirage's heritage of resort living. Spectacular mountain views frame the property, while the community's pool and expansive grounds offer a relaxed social setting reminiscent of classic Palm Springs era living. Located just one mile from The River and moments from Eisenhower Health, the home combines architectural pedigree with everyday convenience.
