for $800,000 with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. This 1,299 square foot home was built in 1972 on a lot size of 0.22.
This Highland Palms home captures classic La Quinta living with effortless Rat Pack flair. Ideally located near Highway 111, with Trader Joe's just a short flop-shot away, the neighborhood evokes the desert's golden era—when Hollywood legends escaped to mid-century hideaways for sun-soaked weekends, martinis by the pool, and quiet mornings beneath the palms. Wide, peaceful palm-lined streets set the scene, while staggering views of the rugged Santa Rosa Mountains anchor the horizon. It's no surprise homes are rarely offered for sale in this highly coveted enclave. Featured on HGTV's Vacation House for Free, this Moroccan-inspired remodel is layered with mid-century modern influence. Clean lines, stained concrete floors, and an open floor plan create an effortless flow for entertaining or everyday living, anchored by a cozy natural gas fireplace. The kitchen features white quartz countertops with a waterfall island, gas range, stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated counter ice maker, while an attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. Recent upgrades include an HVAC heating and cooling system, an A/C split in the garage, and a comprehensive WYZE smart home system with security cameras, doorbell, exterior flood lighting, interior smart bulbs, and keyless entry on four entry doors. Additional improvements include a metal security screen on the front door and retractible screens on all French doors, Frontier high-speed internet, and fresh interior paint throughout, enhancing both comfort and peace of mind. Five sets of French doors—two in the great room and one in each of the three bedrooms—swing open to seamless indoor-outdoor living and sunlit desert days, just the way it was meant to be—connecting the interior to a private outdoor retreat with pool, natural gas fire pit, outdoor TV, putting green, and multiple pergolas enhanced by a misting system. Designed for effortless entertaining, this large 9,583 square foot lot also features a natural gas grill, propane grill, Weber charcoal grill, outdoor sink, raised herb garden, drip irrigation system, and mature fruit trees including lime, grapefruit, and kumquat. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, this home is ready to be enjoyed immediately — whether as a full-time residence, second home, or desert escape. Every element has been carefully considered to honor the spirit of mid-century modern desert living: relaxed, refined, and unmistakably cool. Simply put, this is the desert life distilled
