The Reserve community in Indian Wells is poised to welcome its newest residents with the home for sale at 74-000 Desert Garden Trail.
After seeing a bustling real estate market the last two years, The Reserve, a secluded, private golf club and residential community, is continuing the buying spree with this four-bedroom desert retreat as the only home currently for sale of its 239 total properties.
“We’re private and intimate, yet vibrant,” says Tom Cullinan, Managing Broker for Reserve Realty. “Here, you’re a name, not a number.”
Cullinan explains that many similar private communities have 500+ properties and feel more like resorts to their residents. While some people seek out larger resorts, the sense of community in a smaller area like The Reserve, he says, is “a major difference.”
The community’s scale is not the only standout at The Reserve; it prides itself on its use of pristine native landscaping, rather than attempting to recreate “Hawaii in the desert,” Cullinan says.
“What we’ve done is keep it very natural and authentic,” he explains. “Our landscaping is very unique. It's mostly native landscaping, which people find very attractive. So it's not that contrived look.”
This native greenery is what the future new residents of the Desert Garden Trail home will see out of their floor-to-ceiling glass wall in the indoor-outdoor living and entertaining space. In fact, this property includes a thriving cactus garden with evening lighting. Against the nearly 20,000-square-foot lot’s background of robust desert foliage, enjoy the home’s generous covered patio, newly-converted saline pool and spa, complete with a phone- or iPad-controlled heater, waterfall and nearby lounging space. Entertain guests with the built-in barbeque area, or dazzle them indoors with the spacious guest suites, gourmet kitchen and expansive living areas.
At 5,567 square feet with a warm atmosphere enhanced by pocket doors, gorgeous stonework and custom cabinetry, this home’s future owners will feel they’re in a desert oasis all their own. Carpentry expertise is not necessary to appreciate Desert Garden Trail’s incredible built-ins; bookworms will fall head over heels for the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf feature, complete with rolling library ladder.
The great room boasts vaulted ceilings and is flanked by another lounging space that cozies up to a fireplace, which is a feature of the master suite as well to keep those chilly desert nights at bay. In the master bath, find his and hers sinks, a built-in vanity and ample storage.
Family and guests can enjoy their own version of Desert Garden Trail’s paradise through the private courtyard entry, which features a guest house with a living room, bedroom suite and kitchenette. Sonos is wired throughout the home. A bonus room is the homeowner’s space to customize — picture a media room, an office, art or yoga studio, den or additional guest bedroom. Each bedroom is ensuite, with an additional powder room in the home for convenience. And with the last — but certainly not least — perk of Desert Garden Trail, never miss a beat with the home’s added signal booster for strong Wi-Fi and cellular service.
Does a better desert paradise and entertainer’s dream exist than this 2007 home? Desert Garden Trail is ripe for the taking at $3.85 million. Living in The Reserve, this property’s future residents will have the opportunity to enjoy a private golf club, a recently completed $10 million renovation of the clubhouse and rich social calendar.
The Reserve opened in November of 1998. Its 239 properties sit on roughly 700 acres in the heart of Coachella Valley. The Reserve proudly features an 18-hole championship golf course, along with three trophy holes with views of breathtaking mountain sweeps and desert greenery. The club hosts a full calendar of social and golf events, including Twilight Golf and Cookouts on Sundays, as well as member tournaments, golf schools and guest days.
