Property Description

OPEN SATURDAY & SUNDAY - MUST TEXT FOR GATE ACCESS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL 760-933-3377. Perched above the valley floor in prestigious Thunderbird Heights, this exceptional contemporary estate embodies timeless desert glamour and modern luxury living in one of Rancho Mirage's most storied hillside enclaves. Developed in the early 1950s alongside the iconic Thunderbird Country Club, the neighborhood has long been a retreat for celebrities, presidents, and influential figures, and its legacy of discretion, prestige, and architectural distinction endures today. Spanning approximately 4,181 square feet on over half an acre, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded residence features three luxurious bedroom suites, four and one-half baths, and sweeping mountain and valley views. Built in 1997 and curated for today's lifestyle, the home seamlessly blends refined interiors with effortless indoor-outdoor living. The expansive great room, anchored by a fireplace and a full entertainer's bar with dishwasher, ice maker, and refrigerator, opens to a spectacular poolside terrace designed for entertaining and relaxation. Multiple conversation areas, two televisions, a saltwater pool and spa with gentle spillways, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with DCS grill, smoker, and Evo grill create a true resort-style experience. A stunning new custom kitchen showcases Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, dual dishwashers, induction cooktop, double ovens, a full-size wine cooler, breakfast room, and adjacent formal dining. The primary retreat offers dual bathrooms, a large walk-in closet, an attached lounge, gym or office, and patio access with Chocolate Mountain views. Oversized ensuite guest rooms are positioned on the opposite wing with Santa Rosa Mountain vistas.
