About This Home
As of June 2025The perfect hillside, Mediterranean estate, coined ''The Crown Jewel'' of Mountain Center, awaits its' new steward. High-end finishes and craftsmanship are at the core of this home. Gourmet kitchen with Wolf and Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, walk-in pantry, and granite countertops. Open space and walls of glass, seamlessly lights the interior of the home to the exterior mountains, surrounding desert, and valley below. When night falls, an astronomical theater unfolds above, with stars scattered across the desert sky like diamonds on black velvet. Two primary bedroom suites include ensuite ''spa'' baths, walk-in closets, and fireplaces. Travertine tile, wood floors, beautiful ceiling details & molding throughout the home. The detached guest house boasts an ensuite bedroom and bath, living room, fireplace, kitchenette, laundry, and is attached to the home gym and large studio or additional storage. A truly grand entertainers' home! The Seller remarks: ''When we discovered Mountain Center four years ago, I found more than just a home--as a musician I found my true voice. While my husband and I cherish the solitude, being a 15-minute scenic drive from Palm Desert's vibrant cultural scene means I've never felt disconnected--it's the perfect harmony of peaceful isolation and artistic community. After four years of magical moments and musical breakthroughs, it's time for another creative soul to write their own story in this extraordinary home!''
