Indian Wells Luxury on .43 Acres | 84 Solar Panels | Lap Pool + Eisenhower Views. Desert modernism doesn't get more authentic than this. Conceived by a celebrated local designer, Vicki McDermott in 1978, this single-story Indian Wells estate carries the architectural DNA of the Palm Springs design tradition. Tasteful contemporary updates make it feel completely at home in 2026. Timeless character, gracious proportions, and a one-of-a-kind provenance that simply cannot be replicated. At 5,323 square feet on nearly a half acre, this is the largest home and lot on the street. A genuinely custom offering at a scale that is increasingly rare in Indian Wells. The soaring great room, with ceilings over 22 feet high, two statement fireplaces, travertine floors, exposed beams, and solid alder wood doors and trim throughout deliver architectural character that no newer construction can touch. Five bedrooms offer flexible configurations, a primary suite and junior suite each with private en-suite baths, two additional bedrooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath, a dedicated guest bath off the playroom, and a private walled entry courtyard with a tranquil water feature. Multiple sets of sliding glass doors create seamless indoor-outdoor flow out to your private desert oasis with panoramic mountain views. Outside, the lap pool and spa anchor a true entertainer's paradise. Built-in Alfresco professional grill, outdoor bar with sink, gas fire pit, full mister system, and smart exterior lighting throughout. The fully walled grounds are framed by mature privacy hedges, a towering Washingtonian palm, and a working citrus and fig orchard, tangelo, orange, and fig trees that produce generously in season. The 84-panel owned solar array means energy costs that are a fraction of comparable properties. A Tesla EV charger, epoxy-sealed garage floor, and full permitted natural gas system replacement round out an infrastructure story with zero deferred maintenance questions. No HOA. No gates. No monthly fees. Indian Wells prestige, walking distance to Eldorado Country Club, Indian Wells Country Club, and The Vintage Club, and minutes to the BNP Paribas Open and El Paseo. Whether you are here for tournament season or year-round desert living, this is complete California freedom on your own terms. Furnishings available separately. This home can be turn-key for the right buyer.
