Soaring Views, Private Sanctuaries: Because the Mesquite, located southeast of Palm Springs, Calif. in the Montelena at Indian Wells neighborhood, includes spectacular mountain views, the home is designed so that the main living areas — the family room, morning room and master suite — all are oriented toward the mountains.
The home’s master bedroom is thoughtfully placed at the rear of the home and opens onto the outdoor living area. Buffered from the public spaces by a spacious walk-in closet and comfortable retreat, the master suite is truly a private sanctuary.

Priced at $919,000-$949,000, the Mesquite, built by TransWest Housing, Inc. and designed by Bloodgood Sharp Buster Architects and Planners, Inc., features a “hidden” entry accessed through a gated portico and courtyard that opens into a rotunda. The rotunda not only creates a grand sense of arrival, it also helps to organize the circulation to the public and private spaces of the home.

Designed for Empty Nesters: Because the Mesquite is designed for empty nesters, the secondary bedrooms at the front of the home are nicely separated from the public spaces to offer privacy for grown children or visiting friends. These spaces are also the perfect location for an in-home office or hobby room.
A clever three-level step-back on the front elevation successfully minimizes the visual impact of the garage while opening views from the secondary bedrooms.

The great room includes a wood-burning stove — just right for those chilly desert nights. |
Convenience Accented by Elegance: At 3,035 square feet, the Mesquite, with all of the main living spaces oriented along the perimeter, boasts views and access to the courtyard or patio and pool area from every room. The dining room, though modestly sized, gains visual space with views outside and to the courtyard, as well as interior windows to the great room. The spacious kitchen flows easily into the comfortable morning room.
The Montelena at Indian Wells neighborhood is located in a historic community that offers residents all of the lifestyle amenities they expect, plus access to desert recreation.
