This home offers the rare opportunity to own an iconic residence where elegance, innovation, and nature exist in perfect harmony.Step inside and experience a breathtaking interplay of light, water, and structure. A 75-foot lap pool stretches like a shimmering ribbon through the heart of the home, visible from the living, dining, and kitchen areas through walls of glass. By day, its tranquil surface mirrors the desert sky; by night, it becomes a glowing centerpiece, an ever-present rhythm that defines the home's atmosphere.Inspired by the desert's raw beauty, the design seamlessly integrates sustainable materials and natural desert landscaping. Formaldehyde-free bamboo floors and cabinetry complement terrazzo, recycled-glass tile, exposed concrete block, and native plantings to create a sleek yet organic environment. Brought to life by Van Vleet Construction and interior designer Mark Nichols, every detail reflects authenticity, craftsmanship, and understated sophistication.The chef's kitchen is both functional and artful, featuring a Wolf range and oven, oversized Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers, and dedicated wine storage, ideal for entertaining or culinary exploration.Privacy and comfort are thoughtfully arranged throughout. Upstairs, two expansive primary suites each showcase sweeping valley views one with direct access to the panoramic deck overlooking the Coachella Valley, and the other positioned above the pool, offering a serene perspective of the desert beyond.
