Welcome to this beautifully upgraded 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence, ideally positioned on a desirable secluded corner lot within the guard-gated community of Monterra in South Palm Desert. Capturing breathtaking west-facing mountain views, this home perfectly blends sophisticated design, modern comfort, and resort-style living. Step inside to soaring high ceilings, elegant travertine and wood flooring, and a spacious open layout designed for effortless entertaining. The chef's kitchen showcases granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, while multiple fireplaces in the living room and primary suite create warm, inviting spaces to unwind. Outdoors, enjoy your private resort oasis featuring three patios with misters and drop shades; also, including a custom side patio surrounded by pavers, complete with a pergola and seating wall for entertaining and year-round comfort. Bask by the saltwater pool and spa with a tranquil waterfall, or gather on the covered side patio for dining al fresco beneath the desert sky. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and efficiency, including owned solar panels, a commercial-grade misting system, custom screens on French doors, ceiling fans, a whole-home instant hot water and water softener, and a kitchen filtration system. The three-car garage provides ample space for vehicles and storage, while low HOA fees add exceptional value. This stunning home embodies the essence of desert elegance, privacy, and functionality--the perfect retreat for full-time residents or seasonal escapes.
