And then there's the parking: off-street space for up to seven vehicles, including a gated concrete RV pad, two-car garage, and generous driveway parking.

However you use it, this one delivers sun, style, space, and opportunity. (Buyer must apply for their own STR license; availability is based on City data as of the date of this listing input and may change.)

This amazing home, with its open-concept, spacious light-filled living spaces, 10'-6" ceilings and an expansive wall of Fleetwood glass sliders, truly showcases panoramic views of the Little San Bernadino Mountains and the verdant Escena golf course. These commanding views are nicely framed by a deluxe pool, spa, and garden, which are just steps away from the living and dining areas -- making indoor/outdoor living an effortless reality. Whether seen while you are relaxing in the clean modern lines of the interior spaces, or dining al fresco, the light on the mountains from morning sunrises and golden sunsets can be simply spectacular! Cooks, both gourmet and casual, will love the roomy open kitchen with its modern yet elegant European-style cabinetry by Europlak Cucine, quartz countertops, Bosch appliances, and ample storage space! The large island beckons gatherings and affords an open view through the great room to the pool, golf course and mountains beyond. Not only is the primary suite palatial in size, but it shares the same orientation and stunning views as the great room, and is ideally located with direct access to the pool, spa, outdoor shower, patio, and garden. The suite's spacious spa-like bath is both soothing and practical with double vanities, walk-in shower, large soaking tub, and double closets, cleverly outfitted with custom-designed-and-built closet essentials.The junior or guest suite (with attached bath), located near the entry, is far from the "activity center" of the home, thus providing a quiet and private retreat. A high horizontal "picture" window perfectly frames Mt Jacinto, and another large, operable window opens out to the private side garden, with soft light from the north.The open den/office with its adjacent full bath, functions wonderfully as configured. But for those who might want a more defined space, it could easily and economically be converted into either a fully enclosed room, or one with an operable glass or innovative architectural partition. The space is generously-sized and lends itself beautifully to various uses.Built in 2015 on an oversized lot and first occupied in 2017 by the current owners, 640 Equinox Way has been exceptionally well cared for and meticulously maintained, with numerous strategic improvements made over the years, including owned solar (for reduced energy costs), automatic blinds in the living and dining area, multi-zoned surround sound speakers throughout the property and on the back patio, ring doorbell, and programmable thermostats and security system. If you're looking for a move-in ready home that has been scrupulously maintained and lovingly cared for, you'll want to see this Escena Panorama model by award-winning builders, Alta Verde Group.

The Harold Matzner Estate occupies a private promontory above Old Las Palmas where the San Jacinto range rises directly behind the compound and the full sweep of the Coachella Valley opens below a position no other residential address in the desert shares, on nearly an acre and a half of assembled ground comprising three structures, nearly 16,000 square feet, eleven bedrooms, sixteen bathrooms, and multiple pools and spas across two fully realized estates and a guesthouse.The main residence at 555 North Patencio Road was originally designed in 1982 by renowned brutalist architect Laszlo Sandor, (A.I.A.). The interiors by Steve Chase result in a timeless combination of architecture and design regularly celebrated whose work defined the aesthetic and vernacular of desert luxury for a generation. The homes have a fortress-like experience with a focus on function, honesty in materials and sculptural quality. Its architecture is uncluttered and horizontal, built around a single organizing principle: Light. Hallmark Chase details like raked plaster walls and natural stone flooring move through the interior, their texture alive at every hour as the desert sun crosses the compound catching at dawn along the entrance hall, settling into warmth across the great room by afternoon, receding at dusk to something quieter and more considered. Architectural Digest devoted a full feature to the property in May 1983, the first owner having commissioned a second layer of interiors by Jack E. Lowrance for the occasion testament to a house already considered among the most significant residential works in the desert. For all its scale, the residence lives with a remarkable intimacy soaring volumes that draw inward rather than expand outward, each room organizing itself around a human moment rather than an architectural statement. The great room opens entirely to the terrace through a retractable wall of glass, dissolving the boundary between interior and desert. A sunken conversation space anchors the living room gathered below the principal floor, oriented toward the wide opening to the mountain beyond a room that manages to feel both intimate and boundless. Stone floors carry throughout, a Steinway anchoring the living room alongside Asian art and antiquities accumulated over four decades with a collector's deliberateness giving the residence the quality of a place continuously deepened rather than ever simply finished.The second residence at 575 North Patencio is a fully resolved estate in its own right, its architectural language distinct but its conviction equal. The entrance hall rises to a sweeping curved staircase, a grand piano centered on a raised circular platform below a rain chandelier. The great room reaches double height, the valley visible through glass on three sides. The master bath curved black stone, a suspended rain shower open to a skylight above, a slit window framing the palm canopy and valley beyond carries the same architectural seriousness as everything around it. One room is carved into the boulder face of the mountain itself, a stone fireplace set into the rock, the terrace visible through a full width of glass beyond.The guesthouse, finished to the standard of both residences, offers a world entirely its own private, self-contained, and quietly removed from the life of the compound. It was here that the film festival's most celebrated guests found their desert. Sale includes the following APNs 505-312-011 and 505-312-014 (555 N Patencio Rd and 575 N Patencio Rd)
