Property Description
Located in the exclusive enclave of The Mesa, this rare flat 11,761 sq. ft. lot offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity for builders, developers, or end users looking to create a premier Palm Springs estate. Backdropped by stunning San Jacinto Mountain views, this property combines location, scale, and potential in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods. Currently on the property is a 1,007 sq. ft. pool house, featuring a full kitchen, living room, one bedroom, and 1.5 baths - a perfect setup for guest use, rental, or interim living during development. The oversized 20x40 pool is already in place, providing a head start on your future outdoor living vision. This is not a hillside property. The flat terrain allows for more flexible design, easier construction logistics, and greater creative freedom. A freestanding RV carport adds functionality and optionality. Whether you're looking to build new, expand, or reimagine, this property is a (mostly) blank slate in a neighborhood known for its privacy, architectural pedigree, and luxury appeal. The Mesa has long attracted high-end custom homes and discerning buyers. This is your chance to stake a claim. Don't miss this rare development opportunity in one of Palm Springs' most iconic and sought-after locations.
