Open House: Saturday October 11th from 11am - 2pm
A Rare McDermott-Designed Home Offers Iconic Style and Unrivaled Privacy in a Prime Location
Tucked within the exclusive enclave just east of Eldorado in South Indian Wells — and notably outside of any HOA — this striking four-bedroom, three-bath residence offers a masterclass in refined desert living. Framed by panoramic mountain vistas and mature, manicured landscaping, the home is a rare example of modernist sophistication by renowned designer-builder Vicki McDermott, celebrated for her gracious 1970s architectural style that remains as timeless as it is livable.
From the moment you step inside, the home’s soaring ceilings and generous proportions create a sense of effortless grandeur. The chic, sunken living room feels both luxurious and inviting — the perfect space for après-tennis cocktails or a quiet evening by the fire.
The kitchen strikes a beautiful balance between vintage character and contemporary convenience, with original cabinetry faces complemented by sleek, modern drawer hardware and premium appliances throughout. It’s a space designed for the modern entertainer and the nostalgic aesthete alike.
The primary suite offers a true sanctuary, with direct access to the poolside patio, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom complete with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Wake up every morning to unobstructed views of the Santa Rosa Mountains — a daily reminder of the serenity and natural beauty that defines this coveted corner of the Coachella Valley.
Each of the three additional bedrooms offers generous space — large enough for king-sized beds, with room to spare for lounge seating, home offices, or stylish media setups. High-quality built-in closets and expansive windows complete the picture.
Outside, the home transforms into a private resort oasis. A shimmering pool and spa take center stage, bordered by high hedges for total seclusion. A sleek outdoor shower and a shaded patio provide all the essentials for al fresco living — from sun-drenched afternoons to starlit dinners.
Additional highlights include a three-car garage, ideal for storing a golf cart, vintage convertible, or weekend cruiser. Thoughtfully integrated storage solutions throughout the home underscore its functionality as well as its form.
Beyond the gates of this exceptional residence, Indian Wells offers a host of exclusive resident perks, including preferred rates for golf and spa services at its world-class resorts. The city also allows flexible rental terms — with 29-night minimums year-round and special one-week minimums timed around the prestigious BNP Paribas Open, hosted just minutes away.
Rarely does a McDermott-designed home come to market in such a prime location. With its blend of architectural integrity, private luxury, and enviable access to everything Indian Wells has to offer, this property is not just a home — it’s a lifestyle.
