Newly refreshed, this contemporary mediterranean residence is gracefully situated on over half an acre within the exclusive gated custom home enclave of Lions Gate Estates in La Quinta. A recent outdoor transformation introduces a soft white exterior palette, desert contemporary landscaping, and artful exterior lighting, elevating the home's architectural presence while framing panoramic mountain views and creating a resort caliber setting from sun-filled afternoons to evenings under the stars. Interiors reflect scale and refinement, with custom built-ins throughout, a formal living and dining room, and an inviting great room featuring a fireplace and wet bar, perfect for hosting with ease. A temperature controlled wine cellar and chef's kitchen with granite slab countertops, premium appliances, and generous gathering space further underscore the home's entertaining appeal. Designed to balance architectural elegance with everyday livability, the home unfolds across four-bedroom suites and four-and-a-half baths, including a private detached casita ideal for guests. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with its own fireplace, dual walk-in closets, a soaking tub, and an adjoining exercise room. At the heart of the property, a Pebble Tec saltwater pool and spa, enhanced by an outdoor misting system, anchor the grounds and sets the tone for relaxed desert living. Covered patios, an outdoor fireplace, built-in BBQ, automated awnings, and thoughtfully curated lighting complete the elevated outdoor atmosphere. Additional amenities include a sauna and an air-conditioned three-car garage. Offered furnished per inventory. This estate presents a rare opportunity to experience desert living at its finest.
