39 Mirage Cove Dr, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270

Offered for the first time since serving as the original model home for Mirage Cove more than 40 years ago, this exceptional property occupies a commanding position at the top of the gated hillside community. Tucked against the mountains and canyons of south Rancho Mirage, just south of the Ritz Carlton, the setting feels remarkably private almost like a personal mountaintop retreat while expansive jetliner views extend across the Coachella Valley. Soaring ceilings, skylights and travertine tile enhance the bright, generously scaled interiors. The large kitchen features new stainless-steel appliances and a sunny breakfast nook, while expansive entertaining spaces open through sliders to private patios on three sides of the home, each capturing its own splendid view. A covered dining patio creates an inviting setting for outdoor meals and gatherings. The spacious bedrooms each have an en suite or adjacent bathroom, and the exceptional primary suite looks directly toward dramatic mountain peaks in both the foreground and the distance, an unforgettable view to wake up to each morning. The private outdoor retreat centers around an updated full-size PebbleTec pool and spa, with gorgeous fountains and a paving-stone pool deck set against sweeping mountain and valley vistas. Additional features include newer air-conditioning systems, updated electrical, a separate laundry room, abundant guest parking and a large garage with generous storage. Mirage Cove residents enjoy tennis and pickleball within the community, along with a coveted location just off Highway 111 between Frank Sinatra and Country Club drives minutes from acclaimed restaurants, shopping and the desert's premier country clubs. Carefully maintained by owners who have loved the property for more than four decades, this is a home and setting that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
