A rare opportunity to complete and personalize an extraordinary desert estate in the prestigious guard-gated enclave of Thunderbird Heights.Set on more than one acre in one of Rancho Mirage's most coveted locations, this unfinished architectural residence has been envisioned as a super-luxury interpretation of classic mid-century post-and-beam design. Its exceptional setting captures sweeping mountain, valley, and city-light views while providing remarkable privacy and exclusivity.Spanning more than 5,000 square feet, the residence celebrates the defining elements of desert modernism--soaring ceilings, expansive walls of glass, dramatic architectural lines, and an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The thoughtfully conceived floor plan offers four bedrooms, including a private attached casita, and five-and-one-half baths.Outside, the property unfolds as a private desert resort. Expansive terraces provide exceptional spaces for entertaining, while a PebbleTec pool and spa, lighted tennis court, and mature desert landscape create an impressive backdrop for the panoramic views. Owned solar, installed in 2022, adds energy efficiency and long-term value.For the discerning buyer, the opportunity is especially compelling: much of the difficult work of creating a significant custom estate has already begun, yet the residence remains at a stage where its ultimate character can still be defined. Select the materials, finishes, fixtures, and design details that reflect your own vision and transform an exceptional architectural concept into a truly personal desert retreat.Properties offering this combination of location, acreage, architecture, privacy, views, and potential are exceedingly rare. In legendary Thunderbird Heights, this is an opportunity not simply to acquire a home, but to complete an estate--and create one of the Coachella Valley's most distinctive custom residences.
