Property Description
A mountain retreat just 15 minutes from the world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment of El Paseo, this 'Sanctuary in the Sky' offers refined mountain living above the Coachella Valley.Located within the exclusive gated community of Pinyon Crest at 4,100 feet, this custom mountain estate blends natural beauty, privacy, and modern comfort. Enjoy temperatures typically 15-20 degrees cooler than the desert floor, crisp mountain air, a private water system, and meticulously maintained roads.Set on a pristine 2.5-acre lot bordering the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto National Monument, the 2,700+ sq. ft. residence captures breathtaking panoramic views of the Coachella Valley, the Little San Bernardino Mountains, and often snow-capped Mount Santa Rosa. Expansive decks and walls of windows frame spectacular sunrises, glowing sunsets, and brilliant starlit skies.The home features five bedrooms plus a dedicated office, including private guest quarters with a separate entrance and living area--ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or a private retreat. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with Cambria quartz countertops, premium appliances, and abundant custom cabinetry. The spacious primary suite offers a walk-in closet, tranquil mountain views, and direct access to the deck, a feature shared by most bedrooms.Outside, seven cascading ponds filled with Japanese koi, lotus blossoms, and water lilies create a serene garden sanctuary. An optional koi caretaker is available upon request, and the indoor koi pond utilizes a modern filtration system that keeps it clean and odor-free. Native pines, palms, and seasonal wildflowers enhance the natural landscape, while miles of nearby hiking and biking trails begin just steps from the property.A rare opportunity to experience luxury mountain living with exceptional privacy, spectacular scenery, and the best of the desert just minutes away.Some photos have been digitally staged.
