Property Description
Modern Masterpiece in the Heart of the Desert
Wonder and innovation unite in the dramatic Marmol Radziner Desert House ? a
celebrated marvel of mid-century modern architecture that is the brainchild of renowned
architects Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner (creators of the Beaudry in DTLA, among
others). The Desert House, a prefab prototype constructed of recycled steel, concrete,
and wood, encompasses 2105 interior square feet, with a total square footage of 2400
including outdoor covered living spaces. Sited on a five-acre parcel with an adjacent
2.5 acreage available for expansion, the main house includes two bedrooms, a full bath,
kitchen, living room, and great room with an attached covered deck. An additional
protected corridor leads to the guest house, offering one bedroom, one bath and a
studio/yoga/pool room. Mounted on a recessed concrete block foundation, the house
gives the illusion of a sleek, modern abode floating above the desert floor. Open
walkways and floor-to-ceiling, triple-paned glass windows create a seamless
indoor/outdoor experience throughout the incredible floorplan. In addition, the L-shaped
home is strategically positioned to capitalize on premier views of the peak of Mount San
Jacinto and the panoramic San Gorgonio mountains. A concrete patio connects the
pool area, a true oasis amidst the breathtaking desert and mountain vistas. The
detached carport purposefully allows one to leave the world behind on arrival, another
of the thoughtful details attributed to this masterpiece. Crafted to be environmentally
responsible, the Desert House is cleverly positioned within the landscape and employs
solar technologies, concrete floors, and sunshades. The possibilities of ownership are
limitless ? create a compound on the surrounding acreage or savor the solitude that
comes from owning a quiet, spacious retreat. A trophy property featured in numerous
publications and celebrating the modern architecture of one of the world?s most
prominent firms, the home has also been used as a site for filming, carrying the
potential of $70k+ in annual filming rights income. A true oasis in the heart of Desert
Hot Springs, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly magnificent,
architecturally significant home.
