Situated in the desirable mountain community of Pinyon Crest, this custom estate offers the ultimate high-desert escape just 20 minutes from the Palm Desert floor. Enjoy a climate 15-20 degrees cooler than the valley, crisp mountain air, and sweeping views backing directly to the protected National Forest. While you feel a world away, you are never disconnected from what matters. You have incredible stargazing and scenic hiking and biking trails right in your own backyard. Yet, when you crave the energy of the city, conveniences like yoga and brunch on El Paseo are just a short, drive down the mountain. Plus, the community's well-maintained roads welcome any vehicle--no 4WD required--and reliable community wells make mountain living effortless.The home itself was designed and built, not assembled--crafted for exceptional privacy, longevity, and intentional living. This 3-bed, 2-bath retreat plus a flexible bonus room features an open floor plan with exposed steel trusses and artisan, hand-burnished limestone plaster walls that feature a rich, intentional depth and natural color variation. Engineered for supreme durability, it boasts 2-foot-thick insulated walls, passive solar design, radiant heated concrete floors, and a standing seam metal roof. The wrap-around lifestyle is completed by multi-tiered paver patios, an HOA-approved fenced dog area, a greenhouse, and a private labyrinth. Experience a rare, sustainable sanctuary built to last a lifetime.
