Luxury Redefined: A $9.999 Million Desert Masterpiece in Mission Ranch

Price: $9,999,000

Location: 40440 Morningstar Rd, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270

In the heart of Rancho Mirage’s prestigious Mission Ranch community, a recently reimagined estate offers a study in scale, privacy, and thoughtful design. Located at 40440 Morningstar Road, the 1.26-acre property features a Santa Barbara-style residence that spans more than 9,300 square feet and reflects a complete, detail-oriented renovation.

The layout is expansive, with eight ensuite bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, and three detached casitas positioned to accommodate both privacy and flexibility—whether for extended family, guests, or auxiliary use. Inside, a soaring entry hall introduces a sequence of formal and informal spaces defined by high ceilings, custom millwork, and curated finishes. A grand piano anchors the foyer beneath a double-height chandelier, establishing a tone of understated elegance that runs throughout the home.

The main living areas are designed to balance openness with intimacy. The great room features a 27-foot custom sofa and a linear marble fireplace, while large windows frame views of the surrounding desert landscape. Adjacent to this, a game room nods to classic Americana with a restored 1950s pool table, vintage pinball machines, and a bar area designed for entertaining on a larger scale.

In the kitchen, function meets form with professional-grade Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, four dishwashers, and a dual-island configuration that supports both everyday cooking and large-scale entertaining. A separate chef’s kitchen and dining area with seating for 12+ make the space suitable for formal hosting.

The primary suite is arranged to emphasize separation and serenity, with dual bathrooms, abundant natural light, and scenic views. Throughout the home, natural materials and neutral tones create a palette that feels both current and enduring.

Outdoor areas are oriented around leisure and landscape. A resort-style pool is complemented by fire and water features, a pavilion with a full outdoor kitchen, and a sunken tennis court designed for day-to-night use. Landscaping has been configured to highlight desert textures while preserving a sense of lushness and privacy.

Additional features include a 10-car garage—well-suited to collectors—and fully integrated smart-home systems.

Mission Ranch is a 24-hour guard-gated enclave of custom estates located off Clancy Lane, known for its equestrian history and quiet exclusivity. With just 60 homes, the community offers privacy and space while remaining close to Rancho Mirage’s golf clubs, restaurants, and cultural venues. Long favored by public figures and private individuals alike, the area continues to attract those seeking high-end living in the Coachella Valley.
