70380 Desert Cove

Welcome to The Adobe Hacienda, a private 1.5-acre gated estate in the heart of Rancho Mirage, offering unmatched character, artistry, tranquility, and the rare potential to be configured as an intimate equestrian-style retreat. This expansive property also offers an appealing opportunity for the noncommercial keeping of horses, goats, and smaller livestock, subject to city and county regulations. Designed by renowned architect Jim McIntosh, this 8,990 sq ft custom-built compound features 2 spacious bedrooms, a library, a grand kitchen, multiple living areas, 2 dining areas, and 3.5 bathrooms in the main home. Three detached casitas/studios--each with its own living quarters--create ideal spaces for guests, artists, staff, or a private retreat. A massive tandem-style garage accommodating over six cars makes this a car lover's dream. Crafted with 2-foot-thick rammed-earth walls and floors stained with red wine pigment, the estate blends strength and sustainability with beauty. Imported details include stained glass from Amsterdam, hand-forged ironwork from London's Barclays Bank, and sinks and doors from England's Cotswolds. A powder room ceiling of peacock feathers and hand-painted details throughout adds whimsy and soul. Lush courtyards, romantic balconies, a saltwater lagoon-style pool, a bird aviary, and custom storybook-inspired garden walls invite outdoor living, all framed by panoramic mountain views.
