Description

Fantastic and RARE opportunity to own one of the largest lots inside guard-gated Monterra, a high-end enclave of approx. 95 homes. This former model home for the community is sited on an extremely private, corner lot nearly 1/2 acre in size. Prime South Palm Desert real estate! The largest and most coveted floor plan in Monterra, this super spacious home is offered turn-key furnished and its layout is one of the most versatile you'll find anywhere. A private, quiet courtyard with burbling fountain leads directly into a charming entry foyer and then into the open living space that defines Monterra living. Cozy living room with raised hearth gas fireplace and adjacent wet bar provide intimate conversation areas. All three bedrooms are well-separated and are ensuite with their own private baths. The primary bedroom is oversized with its own gas fireplace and TWO full separate bathrooms as well as TWO separate walk-in closets. There is a separate family room off the kitchen and a nearby hall half-bath. Many oversized windows and double-doors surround the house and inside several large skylights and a solar tube bring all the light in for true desert ambiance. Outside is truly magical. Sparkling pool is large and refreshing with spa, waterfalls and surrounded with square marble tile decking. Plenty of room to entertain lavishly year round under the large covered patio - even has space heaters installed above for winter nights. Explore your own entire arborium of magnificent ficus trees, olive trees, swaying palms, shrubs - and many citrus specimens: orange, lemon, meyer lemon, grapefruit, more. Relax playing a round of petanque on your own private lighted court. The side yard features an enormous marble clad pavilion, with more trees, desertscape - and more than enough room for your own private sculpture garden or putting green. A truly remarkable find! Lavishly entertain 300 people with ease in this large home and surrounding property. Large 3-car garage & zoned HVAC. Monterra is a golf-cart ride away from some of the top golfing venues in the desert and is literally adjacent to famed Ironwood CC for those who want club access without high HOAs. Just minutes to world-class dining, shopping, galleries, and services on Palm Desert's famed El Paseo. Nearby are the McCallum Theater and College of the Desert. Walk to the Living Desert! 25 minutes to PS Int'l. Monterra's LOW HOAs cover the guard gate and all common areas.
