About This Home
As of February 2025Hovering three thousand feet above the Coachella Valley, Rancho Santa Rosa offers exceptional elevated vistas, exquisite design throughout, and a way of life comprised of serenity, inspiration, and beauty. Completely reimagined by two legendary Emmy Award-Winning Television Production Designers, the grounds spread out over three acres of natural desert and sit just below the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument. This unique dwelling has a plethora of attributes: walls of glass facing out to the valley floor capturing shimmering city light views; pebble-tec swimming pool and nearby jacuzzi and in-ground fire pit; sleek luxury Bulthaup German kitchen system equipped with Gaggenau appliance set; an entertainer's living room with clerestory windows; large master suite book-cased with sliders for outside access; stunning guest bedrooms and striking bathroom; separated guest home fully functional with kitchen, indoor/outdoor showers, dedicated driveway, fireplace, and laundry area; flagstone flooring and leopard print carpeting; spacious wraparound entry patio with additional patios around both structures to relax, newer roof, and immediate access to hiking and off-road trails. In every direction at this magnificent property is a sight to behold, and is located in the gated enclave Royal Carrizo, where owners built homes to find that perfect balance of being close enough to the pleasures of El Paseo, yet far enough away to exist fully immersed in Mother Nature.
