Description

Designed by Donald Wexler protege Narendra Patel and elevated by a meticulous $2.5 million renovation, this 2.4-acre retreat is set within the gated and prestigious enclave of The Renaissance, in the heart of Rancho Mirage. Spanning 8,800 sqft, the estate features a main residence and two detached guest houses, offering a total of 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The across-the-board renovation spans from new travertine flooring throughout the main home and expansive casita, to all new HVAC systems, to an advanced security infrastructure with 24 cameras, and a complete redesign of irrigation and lighting over the entire property. The interiors feature floor-to-ceiling glass that flood the spaces with natural light and highlight the vaulted ceilings. The great room, where Sonny Bono was endorsed by Gerald Ford, includes a sleek wet bar, while the chef's kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances and an oversized island. The property has welcomed and hosted U.S. Presidents, celebrities and other dignitaries throughout its history. Outside, a completely reimagined pool area rebuilt from the ground up presents a zero-edge infinity pool framed by Turkish white limestone. Next to the 18-seat sunken Hibachi bar sits a 450 sq. ft. outdoor kitchen with a Forno Piombo wood-fired pizza oven, a smoker, a fryer and everything in between. Additional highlights include a professional tennis court, serene koi ponds, and a hidden 5,000-bottle wine cellar with a private dining room.
