About This Home

As of December 2016

In 1964 Architectural Digest featured this desert home in their Spring Edition. They found the design, view and location to be worth bringing to the attention of the rest of the world. They did this because sitting just a short 20 minute drive from Palm Desert, this home on the highest point in Pinyon Crest, is a true work of art. With 2 bedrooms and 2 baths the home offers comfort and functionality but beyond that, the property commands the attention of all who experience it. The style of the house not only fits into the desert mountain environment...it defines it. The views of the desert 4200 feet below are incredible during the day but at night as the city lights below shine they are accentuated by the unbelievable stars above (way to high for light pollution). The home has been lovingly cared for and updated, never compromising the original grandeur. The lot (over 1 acre) has been turned into a native garden with paths and seating areas. Come see for yourself.
