This luxurious home is an architectural delight, with clean lines, vaulted ceilings and moveable walls of glass. There's a grand living space, with a cosy fire as the central feature. The big bedrooms are all en-suite, each with its own access to the garden – perfect for lazy Sunday mornings. Framed by towering palms, the garden has not one but two pools. Practice your lengths in the 25-meter lap pool, soak in the spa or simply sunbathe with a martini shaken (or stirred) for you at the bar. This little slice of eden sits below the Santa Rosa Mountains, and the dramatic landscape is best viewed from around the fire pit. In the heart of Rancho Mirage, there are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, and Palm Springs is just twenty five minutes away by car.
