27 Grande View Ct, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270

$5,150,000

Perched gracefully above the Ritz-Carlton, this architecturally significant residence by visionary Ana Escalante, created in collaboration with mid-century modern legend Don Wexler, is defined by its pedigree, originality, and commanding desert views. Thoughtfully integrated into its desert setting, the home embraces its site, landscape, and light in a way that… Read More feels both intentional and timeless. At the heart of the home, a 75-foot lap pool flows through the structure like a ribbon of light and water, visible from the living, dining, and kitchen spaces through walls of glass. By day, it reflects the shifting desert sky; by night, it glows as a sculptural centerpiece. The pool has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, and the home has been used for commercial print and editorial photography, underscoring its visual and architectural impact. The design draws directly from the desert's raw beauty, integrating sustainable materials and native landscaping to create an environment that feels refined yet elemental. Formaldehyde-free bamboo floors and cabinetry are paired with terrazzo, recycled-glass tile, exposed concrete block, and materials chosen for integrity and longevity rather than trend. Executed by Van Vleet Construction with interiors by Mark Nichols, the home reflects disciplined craftsmanship and understated sophistication throughout. The residence was a featured property in 2007 and received the Palm Springs Modern Committee (ModCom) Award for Excellence in New Modern Design, affirming its place within the region's modern architectural canon. The chef's kitchen balances performance and design, featuring a Wolf range and oven, oversized Sub-Zero refrigeration, integrated refrigerator drawers, and dedicated wine storage, ideal for both intimate evenings and large-scale entertaining. Living spaces are arranged to maximize privacy, flow, and views. Two expansive upper-level primary suites both connect directly to the panoramic deck, offering sweeping vistas of the valley and the mountains beyond. One suite is positioned above the pool, providing a uniquely tranquil perspective as water, sky, and desert converge. A mid-level bedroom suite with private bath and direct access to the three-car garage offers excellent flexibility for guests or an office retreat. Additional spaces include a versatile poolside flex room and private sauna, an intimate sanctuary for restoration after a swim or a day in the desert. From the expansive upper deck, the valley unfolds in cinematic fashion, framing desert sunsets, starlit nights, and luminous morning light. While the refined amenities of the Ritz-Carlton are only a short walk away, the lasting impression is shaped by the home's architectural lineage, its seamless relationship to the desert landscape, and its extraordinary views. Mid-century lineage. Modern luxury. Natural desert elegance. A rare opportunity to own a published, award-recognized architectural work where design, landscape, and vision converge above Rancho Mirage.
