Description
Private resort backyard—heated, in-ground, sparkling saltwater pool + elevated spa. Welcome to your desert oasis, a turnkey upgraded home designed for true resort-style living, ideally located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable foothills above Mission Lakes Blvd. The elevated setting delivers beautiful mountain views from the backyard and from the front—creating a retreat feel from the moment you arrive.

The backyard is the showstopper. Enjoy a Caribbean-blue Pebble-Tech heated saltwater in-ground pool and elevated jacuzzi/spa (built in 2019) featuring a tanning shelf, seven powerful spa jets, and dual heating options for extended seasonal enjoyment. In addition to the pool gas heater, a solar pool heating system (installed in 2023) helps reduce operating costs while extending swim season. The resort ambiance continues with a custom stone masonry gas fire pit, a natural gas BBQ hookup for effortless outdoor dining, and a serene koi pond with a calming water feature, surrounded by lush garden landscaping and efficient drip irrigation. Fish may remain with a buyer who wishes to assume care, or will be removed prior to close.

Inside, the open floor plan offers two living areas—ideal for a media room, lounge, office, or guest space—plus a spacious 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.
