70380 Desert Cove
Rancho Mirage, CA 92270

Welcome to 70380 Desert Cove Avenue in the heart of Rancho Mirage, where 1.5 walled and gated acres reveal a sumptuous private sanctuary without equal in the desert. Gates open to a long driveway that continues beyond the estate's lagoon-style pool with island to the main house, which is joined by a trio of additional living quarters that includes a two-story studio, a sprawling loft, and an intimate gate house. Verdant lawns, intimate courtyards, romantic balconies and a grand patio with fireplace and built-in BBQ encourage indoor/outdoor living and entertaining at the estate. A total of five bedrooms and seven- and one-half baths in approximately 9,500 square feet of combined living space ensures comfort for everyone, while enormous public rooms make it easy for all to come together for special occasions, gourmet meals and easy daily living. Many of the home's historic features are imported from Europe, including colorful stained-glass windows from Amsterdam, while skylights, winding castle-like staircases, and a selection of hand-painted, leather, tin-panel and vaulted open-beam ceilings lends character to every room. Designed by JMA Architects and built in 2003, the custom estate features 2'-thick rammed-earth walls, 2'' x 2'' rebar supporting walls and floors, floors artistically colored with natural red wine pigments, seven fireplaces with basalt stone mantles, doors and sinks from England's Cotswolds region, and stunning ironwork sourced from London's Barclays Bank.
