ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

If you are someone in pursuit of the best views in the desert, look no further than the home for sale at 47595 Vintage Dr. E. in Indian Wells, which is ready to exchange hands for the first time in history.

Does it come as any surprise that the architect quickly picked this lot out of all available plots? Clocking in with just over 7,580 square feet of classic desert luxury, this custom estate is for the golf and mountain lovers, with its best-view-in-the-house spot overlooking the Signature Hole of the PGA West Pete Dye Mountain Course.

“The architecture is amazing,” Valery Neuman, founder and real estate broker with Valery Neuman Real Estate and listing agent of the 4-bed, 6.5-bath beauty, told Desert Magazine. “Lots of natural light, open space, great lines.”

This 1985 build has only seen one owner in its lifetime, but plenty of love; it was designed by esteemed architect Von White, a former mentee of Frank Lloyd White. The home’s interior is a product of the renowned Steven Chase and Associates, a prominent luxury, high-end designer “throughout the valley and throughout the country,” Neuman said. 

“It’s kind of like going back in time,” Neuman said of the home’s stunning interior. “I consider it a warm contemporary.”

The charming wooden features and built-ins may be cozy, but don’t let a timeless, classic feel get confused with out-of-date features. This home has recently been upgraded with numerous modernizations, including a revamped kitchen, refreshed stucco, new flooring and an added casita to further add to the entertainer’s dream created by the outdoor great room, where guests will be floored by a full-service kitchen and barbecue, fireplace, outdoor great room and private sundeck. After your cookout, cool off in those hot, hot desert summers with the custom pool, loaded with a resort-esque spa and waterfalls.

Every turn of a hallway, every closed door in this home hides a new paradise. The master suite offers a fireplace, his and her bathroom areas, dual closets, gym and courtyard patio, where you can be submerged in utmost serenity surrounded by water features and murals.

Last but far from the least are the picturesque mountain vista and lake views you will enjoy from this home’s many lookouts. The signature hole of one of the desert’s finest courses is the crown jewel of Vintage Drive’s view. If you’re a golfer yourself, the prestigious Mountain Course is less than a driver’s swing away.

Are you the second owner of the $7.5 million, fully-furnished dazzler on Vintage Drive? Neuman says you could be.

“The second owner could be anybody,” the agent said. “It could be a family, could be a couple. It’s someone who wants to be located in the Vintage Club. … I’m excited to be the listing agent for Vintage Dr. because it’s a prominent property located in the cove at the Vintage Club, a spectacular property.”
