Welcome to this extraordinary custom estate, perfectly positioned along the 11th green of the Canyons course at the renowned Bighorn Golf Club. Recently reimagined with impeccable taste, no expense was spared and no detail overlooked in its transformation.A private gated courtyard leads to a dramatic great room crowned by a vaulted ceiling, where steel-framed French doors open to a limestone terrace and pool. From here, sweeping vistas of the Tom Fazio-designed fairways and the rugged San Jacinto Mountains create a breathtaking backdrop. The great room flows effortlessly into the dining room, anchored by an exquisite double-sided fireplace, and onward into a striking Bultaup-designed kitchen and family room. The gourmet kitchen, outfitted with top-tier appliances, features a warm banquette for casual gatherings.Offering five bedrooms, including a detached casita, the home is designed for comfort as well as grandeur. The Primary Suite is a serene retreat with its own fireplace, expansive dressing room, and spa-like bath featuring a limestone soaking tub and steam shower with both wall-mounted and rainfall fixtures. For entertainment, a custom-designed theater with an 11-foot screen, digital projector, and acoustically tuned interiors provides a cinematic experience.Spanning 6,617 square feet, the estate celebrates desert living with a vast outdoor sanctuary complete with a full kitchen, covered dining, fireplace, television, pool, spa, and outdoor shower.
