Property Description
WHERE LEGACY MEETS LUXURY, AN ICONIC ESTATE ON THUNDERBIRD'S PREMIER GOLF FRONTAGE. Timeless Hollywood Regency estate on Thunderbird Country Club's 5th and 6th holes, 6,232 SF on 1.17 private acres, one of the largest golf course lots in prestigious Thunderbird Terrace. This architect-redesigned residence offers privacy, sophistication, and architectural pedigree in one of Rancho Mirage's most exclusive guard-gated communities. A circular motor court leads to grand vaulted interiors with exposed wood trusses, wide-plank oak floors, designer lighting, and a fireplace centerpiece. The formal living room opens to a breathtaking golf course and mountain views, with a full custom wet bar that includes a refrigerator, freezer, icemaker, dishwasher, and bespoke cabinetry, perfect for evening cocktails or upscale entertaining. The chef's kitchen is a culinary dream, equipped with top-tier appliances including a full-size freezer and refrigerator, convection oven, microwave, warming drawer, dual dishwashers, instant hot water, prep sink, and a generous walk-in pantry. French doors lead to a garden-view breakfast room and a generously sized formal dining room, ideal for intimate dinner parties or elegant fundraising receptions. The expansive primary suite includes two oversized walk-in closets plus 2 extra closets, a fireplace, and a spa-style bath with a soaking tub, steam shower with heated floors, and dual vanities. Three additional ensuite guest suites offer private outdoor access. A hidden office/study above the entrance/foyer, oversized powder room, and large laundry room add comfort and function. Outside you will find covered patios, a new pool heater, a separate pool bath with shower, and spectacular views of the Thunderbird golf course, San Jacinto, and San Gorgonio mountains. The estate's expansive grassy terrace offers the perfect backdrop for sunset cocktail gatherings, large-scale garden parties, or private events under the stars. Additional upgrades include 47 owned solar panels, two new HVAC systems, whole-house water filtration, and a 5-car garage. Potential to add a separate, luxurious casita, ideal for guests, extended family, or an executive office (subject to city/HOA approval and buyer's due diligence). Fee land, low HOA dues, and golf/social memberships are optional. Move-in ready luxury in a community favored by CEOs, world travelers, and legacy buyers. This is Thunderbird living at its finest.
