    What's special

    Sparkling mosaic-tiled poolExtensive guest parking capabilitiesTwo story kitchenMultiple fountains and fireplacesLa cornue rangeGenerous butcher-block islandEbony walnut floors
    Guard Gated. Immediate Golf Membership. Spectacular Spanish Revival architectural masterpiece on 2.85 acres with total privacy in Desert Highlands. Inspired by Wallace Neff, this estate reflects the grandeur, scale, and sophistication of California's most revered Golden Age compounds with the convenience of modern day automation. Built by Nance Construction with custom ironwork by Peter Sevin, every hand-plastered wall, beam, and arch was crafted with intention. Portegese limestone and ebony walnut floors warm every room. The library, wrapped in Georgia sugar pine millwork, doubles as a private screening room with its own wet bar. The two story kitchen is anchored by a La Cornue range, framed by soapstone countertops, a generous butcher-block island, indoor Thermador grill, and glass-door Traulsen refrigeration. Upstairs feels like its own private retreat with a separate entrance, 2 oversized guest rooms with ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets, a second laundry room, and an intimate covered terrace offering sweeping desert and city-light views. The primary bedroom is pure romance with French doors opening to a private patio and spa, his/her boutique closets, and a marble-wrapped bath. Two additional thoughtfully designed flex spaces offer the option for guest suites, a refined office, or a private wellness retreat. The guest quarters mirror the main home's craftsmanship, complete with its own kitchen featuring a Gaggenau cooktop, laundry, covered patio and parking spaces. Outside, Santa Barbara-designed landscaping by Trademark Landscape (as featured in Phoenix Home & Garden magazine), a sparkling mosaic-tiled pool, cabana and wet bar, multiple fountains and fireplaces, pristine lawn spaces and flower gardens-- all framing dramatic Pinnacle Peak views. Curated outdoor living spaces integrated throughout the grounds, a fully appointed butlers pantry supported by 2 walk-in pantries, a masterfully appointed outdoor kitchen, and extensive guest parking capabilities create effortlessly designed entertainment accommodations on a grand scale. Nearby hiking, fine dining, shopping, and world-class golf opportunities are available immediately! Desert Highlands amenities include a Jack Nicklaus Signature championship golf course, 18-hole putting course, award winning clubhouse, state of the art fitness center, Highlands Racquet Club featuring grass, clay, and pickleball courts, etc. If you understand the value of Legacy Architecture and are ready to indulge in Luxury Lifestyle Living, this one-of-a-kind estate must be experienced in person.
