Property Description

A rare opportunity to complete and personalize an extraordinary desert estate in the prestigious guard-gated enclave of Thunderbird Heights. Set on more than one acre in one of Rancho Mirage's most coveted locations, this unfinished architectural residence has been envisioned as a super-luxury interpretation of classic mid-century post-and-beam design. Its exceptional setting captures sweeping mountain, valley, and city-light views while providing remarkable privacy and exclusivity. Spanning more than 5,000 square feet, the residence celebrates the defining elements of desert modernism--soaring ceilings, expansive walls of glass, dramatic architectural lines, and an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The thoughtfully conceived floor plan offers four bedrooms, including a private attached casita, and five-and-one-half baths. Outside, the property unfolds as a private desert resort. Expansive terraces provide exceptional spaces for entertaining, while a PebbleTec pool and spa, lighted tennis court, and mature desert landscape create an impressive backdrop for the panoramic views. Owned solar, installed in 2022, adds energy efficiency and long-term value. For the discerning buyer, the opportunity is especially compelling: much of the difficult work of creating a significant custom estate has already begun, yet the residence remains at a stage where its ultimate character can still be defined. Select the materials, finishes, fixtures, and design details that reflect your own vision and transform an exceptional architectural concept into a truly personal desert retreat. Properties offering this combination of location, acreage, architecture, privacy, views, and potential are exceedingly rare. In legendary Thunderbird Heights, this is an opportunity not simply to acquire a home, but to complete an estate--and create one of the Coachella Valley's most distinctive custom residences.
