This tranquil haven of a home sits within a private gated compound not far from Rancho Mirage. It’s a true hilltop retreat offering beautiful views across the desert peaks of Southern California. The expansive infinity pool reflects the perfect blue of the sky and is surrounded by neatly landscaped gardens. Tuscan-style arches connect the sleek interior spaces with the impressive outdoors, and there's even an outdoor lounge with a fireplace, so this home is perfect for outdoor living all year round. Cook up a storm on the barbecue then soak in the hot tub and watch the stars come out and the city lights twinkling in the distance. On cooler evenings, two guests can find privacy in the casita, while the rest of the group gathers around the indoor fireplace for a night of games and chatter.
