Those seeking a seclusive retreat that boasts a convenient location close to numerous attractions will love this Sante Fe home. Virtually invisible until you arrive via the quarter-mile private driveway, your own 7.5-acre estate and private canyon is a short drive from El Paseo's high-end restaurants and shops. The kitchen deck offers a view of the Palm Desert but other than that, you'll revel in luxurious isolation. Your vacation home features a picturesque canyon view with an oasis backyard, a sparkling pool, and more than enough space for all of your guests to make themselves at home. Though you'll undoubtedly be tempted to stay at your new abode, the Hopalong Cassidy trail is only a five-minute hike from your door and will connect you to a network of other trails throughout the West Coachella Valley, including the Pacific Coast Trail. Sports enthusiasts will love the fact both public tennis courts and a number of golf courses are all also within a few miles. In addition to its close proximity to El Paseo, this home is within a handful of miles of several other popular Palm Desert attractions including the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, Civic Center Park, and the Palm Desert Aquatic Center. Inside this very private home and casita, feast your eyes on the gorgeous, wood beam ceilings, rustic furnishings and decor, and colorful tilework found throughout. Visiting chefs will feel right at home in the well-equipped, island kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances and a cozy breakfast nook. Gather for more formal feasts in the dining room, or head out back, fire up the gas grill, and indulge in an alfresco experience with amazing canyon views and absolute quiet under the night sky. Back inside, this sprawling home offers a huge great room warmed by a fireplace, a furnished library with shelves of books for quiet afternoons, and a home office with a minifridge and a convenient desk for your laptops if you need to address some remote work while you’re away. Back outside, swim in your private pool, soak up the sunshine, take in the unique canyon view exclusive to this home, and pick out constellations in the totally black night sky as evening falls. Additional amenities include central air-conditioning and a private washer/dryer to help you keep your laundry under control during your visit.
