Peekaboo mountain views from the living room, a private pool and spa just beyond the glass, and the golf course rolling out past that. Your Mid Valley desert escape is waiting, fully furnished and ready to go, so the only thing left to unpack is your sunscreen.This single-family home in Desert Princess Country Club has two ensuite bedrooms with walk-in closets, a den, and two and a half baths, with plantation shutters throughout. The dining room, living room, and kitchen share one open layout, with a built-in desk in the dining room and seating at the kitchen island. The den has a pullout couch, so the whole family has room to settle into the desert at their own pace.The big-ticket items are handled. The HVAC system and refrigerator were both replaced in 2025, which takes the guesswork out of desert living, and with the furniture already in place there is no shopping list waiting for you. Arrive, settle in, and play.Outside, the Pebble Tec pool and spa were just resurfaced, so the water feels brand new from the first morning swim. The private courtyard catches its own peekaboo mountain view, and a barbecue is included for those evenings when the sky turns gold. The corner lot at the edge of the community adds extra breathing room. A golf cart comes with the home, and the expanded garage gives you room for the cart or extra storage.Then there is the lifestyle. Three 9-hole layouts make up the 27-hole championship golf course, with preferred tee times, discounted rates, and no initiation fee. Pickleball and tennis courts, a full fitness center, and more than 30 heated community pools and spas keep every day different. Dinner is close at the Mountain View Grille and Lagos Cafe, with a discount for homeowners. Swim in the morning, play a round at noon, and head to the grille at sunset. The HOA also includes Wi-Fi, cable with premium channels, trash and recycling, exterior maintenance, landscaping, and 24/7 guard-gated security.Whether this becomes your own desert retreat or part of your investment portfolio, the ownership picture is simple. No land lease means no extra payment on top of your HOA, which is unusual in Desert Princess. Short-term rental is possible with a Cathedral City STR permit and HOA approval, and the airport is an easy drive.This is the Desert Princess lifestyle with the flexibility to use it your way. Come see it for yourself.
