3 Desert Luxe Estates, from Midcentury to Equestrian Grandeur

From its elevated half-acre setting in South Palm Desert, this exquisitely reimagined 1965 Mid-Century Modern estate balances timeless lines with thoughtful modern upgrades, moments from El Paseo Shopping District and scenic desert hiking trails. Walls of glass, soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, and porcelain terrazzo flooring shape an easy indoor-outdoor rhythm, with panoramic mountain vistas as a constant backdrop. The main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a serene primary suite and guest accommodations with direct outdoor access. A chef’s kitchen pairs quartz countertops, custom wood cabinetry, and KitchenAid appliances, flowing into dining and living areas centered on a dramatic tiled fireplace. Outdoors, a detached 2-bedroom guest house with kitchenette adds flexibility, while resort-style grounds unfold with a saltwater pool and spa, cabana, fire pit, BBQ island, outdoor shower, and putting green—designed for long desert evenings under the sky.

From its hilltop setting in La Cresta Estates, this one-of-a-kind equestrian estate pairs sweeping views with a rare level of professional infrastructure. Beyond a security gate, a long private driveway leads to updated single-story living framed by resort-style ease and an uncompromising horse setup. Two arenas—one with premium GGT footing, the other sand—join a round pen, eight turnouts (six shaded by majestic oak trees), automatic waterers, grass patches, and crisp white vinyl fencing with electric wiring in select areas. The center-aisle barn is thoughtfully outfitted with six spacious stalls featuring rubber matting, auto waterers, a fly system, cameras, fans, and lookouts, plus three additional stalls, a full grooming and bathing station, tack room, and storage. Three apartment/studios add flexibility for trainers, staff, guests, or rentals, with on-site trails connecting to miles of scenic riding beyond.
