Description
Overlooking multiple fairways of iconic Thunderbird Country Club in South Rancho Mirage, this custom-designed estate captures the scale, privacy, and timeless elegance expected within one of the desert's most prestigious golf enclaves. Positioned behind the gates of a private residential community along the 5th fairway, the property delivers more than 6,250 square feet of refined desert living with panoramic Santa Rosa Mountain views stretching across additional fairways beyond. Outside, the estate unfolds like a private five-star resort with a magnificent pool and spa, mature palms, manicured lawns, fountains, outdoor fireplace, expansive terraces, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring Lynx BBQ, searer, refrigerator, and ice maker. The extraordinary 1,200-square-foot covered outdoor living space overlooks the terraced grounds, fairways, and surrounding mountains, evoking the relaxed sophistication of a European villa or luxury coastal resort. A circular estate driveway and dramatic loggia arrival introduce interiors defined by soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, walls of glass, and gracious room proportions throughout. Constructed with substantial 10-inch block walls, batt insulation, solid white oak doors and trim, and exquisite Beaumanire stone and white oak flooring, the home blends enduring craftsmanship with architectural warmth. The commanding living room serves as the centerpiece of the residence, anchored by a dramatic fireplace and vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings while seamlessly connecting to the expansive outdoor living areas. Adjacent formal dining, wet bar, and wine room further enhance the entertaining experience, while the gourmet kitchen offers vaulted ceilings, Beaumanire stone counters, Dacor refrigeration, double ovens, gas range, generous cabinetry, and a large detached island thoughtfully connected to both formal and casual gathering spaces. Bedroom separation is exceptional. The grand Primary Suite features dramatic tongue-and-groove ceilings, fireplace, panoramic views, dual walk-in closets, and a spacious spa-inspired bath. Junior Ensuites Two and Three each offer private baths, while Junior Ensuite Four, currently enjoyed as a media room, provides flexibility with its own fireplace and ensuite bath. The attached casita (Junior Ensuite Five), fully renovated in 2023 serves as a true private guest retreat with separate entrance, fireplace, wet bar, patio, and ensuite bath overlooking the grounds and fairways beyond. Four zoned HVAC systems with Nest controls, a replaced roof, and extensive long-term improvements further enhance comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. A rare legacy estate offering architectural scale, extraordinary entertaining spaces, premier golf course views, and exceptional privacy in one of Rancho Mirage's most prestigious communities.
