About this home
Built in 1961, this extraordinary Mid-Century Modern A-frame was among the first homes constructed in this distinctive mid-century neighborhood. Designed by John P. Moyer, an iconic builder and developer of the Coachella Valley's mid-century era, the home is entirely unique in its design and setting, combining dramatic architecture, lush landscaping, and sophisticated outdoor living to create a private desert oasis.
Inside, soaring wood-beam ceilings and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass bring the outdoors in, filling the home with natural light and framing mountain views to the north and south. The residence features two bedrooms, an attached one-bedroom casita, a dedicated private office/workspace, and a chef's kitchen with premium appliances, including a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, two Fisher & Paykel dishwashers, and a second farmhouse sink.
The grounds are a secluded retreat, with lush, mature plantings creating an atmosphere of privacy and tranquility. A sparkling saltwater pool and inviting lounge area define the backyard, while one of the property's most captivating features awaits beyond the gated driveway: a spectacular sunken outdoor living room surrounded by verdant landscaping and distinctive mid-century flagstone paving. Complete with tiki torches, a sculptural Corten steel gas fireplace, a dedicated dining and barbecue area, and a cedar soaking hot tub, this exceptional space offers an intimate setting for entertaining or relaxing beneath the desert sky.
Beyond its architectural pedigree and remarkable outdoor spaces, the home incorporates advanced Net-Zero technology, including 43 owned solar panels, a solar energy storage system with dual battery cabinets, an EV charger, and energy-efficient heat pumps serving the saltwater pool. Additional features include whole-home water filtration, a platinum energy-efficient heat pump HVAC system, and, according to the seller, negative net electricity consumption.
With no HOA and an exceptional location within easy reach of El Paseo's celebrated dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences, as well as popular hiking destinations including Bump and Grind and the Cross trails, this singular property represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of the desert's architectural history, thoughtfully enhanced for contemporary living....
