About this home

Welcome to your private desert oasis featuring a sparkling heated saltwater in-ground pool and spa. This turnkey, upgraded home is designed for true resort-style living and is located on an exceptional cul-de-sac in the desirable foothills above Mission Lakes Blvd. The elevated setting offers beautiful mountain views, with Mt. San Jacinto enjoyed from the backyard and Mt. San Gorgonio from the front—creating a true retreat feel from the moment you arrive. The backyard is the showstopper: a Caribbean blue Pebble-Tech heated saltwater in-ground sparkling pool and elevated jacuzzi/spa (built in 2019) with a tanning shelf, seven powerful spa jets, and dual heating options for extended seasonal enjoyment. In addition to a pool gas heater, a new solar pool heating system (installed in 2023) helps you save even more on utility costs while extending swim season. The outdoor space is designed to feel like a resort—outdoor living with a custom stone masonry gas fire pit and a serene koi pond with a calming water feature, surrounded by lush garden landscaping and efficient drip irrigation. Fish may remain with the property for a buyer who wishes to assume care, or will be removed prior to close. Inside, the spacious open floor plan offers two living areas—ideal for a media room, lounge, office, or guest space—plus a large main living room, bar area, dining area, and a well-appointed kitchen. New tile flooring adds a clean, modern finish, and the renovated primary bathroom features a spa-like body walk-in shower. Light-filled interiors and seamless indoor–outdoor flow make everyday living and entertaining effortless. Smart-home convenience is a standout: remote door lock/keyless entry, Nest thermostat, pool/spa automation controls, security cameras, and remote operation of both the central HVAC system and the second ductless split system (installed in 2022) for heating and cooling—giving you comfort and control from anywhere. Additional value features include solar electric panels to help reduce utility costs, a Tesla wall charger, oversized RV parking, an extended driveway, a new water heater (installed in 2020), and a fully insulated garage (completed in 2025). Furnishings available. Minutes to Palm Springs, natural hot springs, golf, hiking, dining, shopping, casinos, and Joshua Tree National Park —this home shows like a private resort and must be experienced in person.
