Exceptional Location and Provenance! First time on Market! This exquisite Indian Wells residence is home to its architect-builder and local celebrity, who selected a premium elevated parcel for building her personal sanctuary in 2003. Conveying elegant desert living, the home comprises 4,230 s.f. with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and overlooks a deep greenspace to the south with Eisenhower Mountain as its focal point. Thoughtfully designed for indoor-outdoor flow, the open great room showcases polished granite floors, walls of glass, wrapping patio and several dining spaces, yet still retains discrete separation for ensuite houseguests and privacy. As builder/designer of over 150 homes, the owner naturally selected the very best for her own life. Enter through tall double doors into a soaring hexagonal foyer of Venetian plaster with a 17- foot ceiling crowned by a massive Chihuly inspired glass cloud chandelier! Admire walls clad in quarried Jurastone, named for its Jurassic origin with embedded fossils. Note the reverse bevel stonework detailing carried throughout the estate. Experience tranquil acoustics of a vaulted fabric ceiling and comfort from 6 climate zones. Custom features abound with Danish exterior motorized blinds, slot diffusers for ultra quiet air, a Tulikivi stove, and gourmet kitchen with warming drawers, 2-way mirror, fabulous clerestory windows, Capiz shell lined pendants, and multilevel indirect lighting. There is a media room/bedroom with bookcases and a secret door, a Finlandia sauna, marble lined guest bath, 3 fireplaces, and a mosaic tiled swim spa! The inspired property takes full advantage of mature landscaping including a grape arbor, apple tree, oroblanco grapefruits, date palms from the owner's farm, and expansive game areas for outdoor lawn chess, croquet, and a bocce court, all surrounded by a garden path with cascading flowers. There is plenty of room to construct an exceptional south-facing pool and patio if desired. This dream home resides at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with true privacy and no HOA fees. Minutes from El Paseo and a short drive to Coachella and Stagecoach Festivals. Come hear the stories and envision your own legacy in Indian Wells history! A rare opportunity. Offered as-is. Furniture negotiable.
