Property Description
Enjoy this spectacular mountain estate comprised of five parcels for a total of 8.57-acre equestrian-friendly land in the heart of Mountain Center, just 20 minutes from South Palm Desert. Why board your horses when you can wake up with them? With no HOA, your own private well, and 5 stall horse stables, this remarkable estate offers true independence, unmatched serenity, cooler desert air, and valley-wide views. The multi-level main residence captures the essence of mountain living, featuring expansive glass windows that frame endless vistas. A chef's kitchen appointed with granite countertops, double ovens, and dual sinks is ideal for gathering and entertaining. The home offers four bedrooms, including two ensuite retreats and a guest bedroom. The fourth bedroom/apartment is located on the lower level with its own private entrance and features to a fully equipped apartment, complete with a living room, kitchenette, one bedroom, one bathroom, a mini-split system, and washer and dryer. This flexible space is ideal for multigenerational living, caretaker's quarters, or potential rental income. An expansive outdoor deck off the dining area provides the perfect setting for stargazing evenings, peaceful mornings with coffee, or lively weekends hosting family and friends. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the five-stall stable with paddock, tack room, feed room, lighting, and running water, ready to welcome your horses. Additional highlights include a large detached three-car garage/workshop, a 420-foot privately owned well, and a daylight basement flex space currently used as a gym. The upper lot features a flat, graded area with electrical and water hookups supporting 4-RV parking spaces. The southern boundary is owned by Friends of the Desert Mountains, a nonprofit dedicated to conservation, education, and research, helping preserve the property's privacy and natural beauty. Adding to its uniqueness, the property was once the mountain retreat of Hollywood entertainer Red Skelton, who enlisted renowned architect Albert Frey to remodel the home. Original plans remain on file at the Palm Springs Art Museum, underscoring the home's architectural legacy. Whether you envision a self-sustaining homestead, an equestrian lifestyle, or a peaceful private escape, this is a rare opportunity with historic significance, and endless possibilities.
