Set on the 9th Fairway of the legendary Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage, this extraordinary residence combines architectural pedigree with modern luxury. Originally designed by renowned architect William Cody, the home was fully reimagined in 2018 with a comprehensive remodel that preserved its timeless mid-century character while introducing contemporary elegance.Offering 4+ bedrooms, 4,344 square feet including an attached casita with exterior entrances, and a versatile floor plan, the home is ideal for both intimate living and grand-scale entertaining. Expansive walls of glass capture breathtaking mountain and fairway views, blurring the line between indoors and out. The open-concept living spaces are anchored by sleek finishes and abundant natural light, creating a sense of warmth and refinement throughout.The entry courtyard has a pool/spa and covered patio area that includes a built-in bar with BBQ, plenty of space for outdoor living and dining, and a putting green and sand bunker. Two luxurious primary bedroom suites provide comfort and privacy, while the updated bathrooms reflect modern design and sophistication.Outdoors, multiple terraces, the pool and lounge areas invite relaxation against the backdrop of Thunderbird's lush fairways and dramatic desert mountains. This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a Cody-designed home within one of the Coachella Valley's most prestigious and historic clubs, where architecture, lifestyle, and setting converge perfectly.
