Set high along the natural mountainside, the hillside community of Desert Palisades is known for its contemporary architecture and close relationship to its natural surroundings. Unique among the homesites, here you have a sense of some seclusion, hovering above with broad views across the Valley. The elevation provides more than dramatic scenery. It creates perspective and a sense of openness, with long views across the desert, surrounding mountain ranges and valley beyond. At the same time, the relationship to the hillside gives the property an intimate private connection to the natural landscape. Desert Palisades was conceived around precisely this relationship between architecture and terrain. Its collection of custom residences reflects the city's modernist tradition while allowing individual architecture to respond to each site's topography, light and views. Lot 110 presents an opportunity to create a residence uniquely informed by its setting: framing the valley outward while engaging the mountainside immediately behind it. The lot is also well suited for a distinctive architectural home designed around the setting. Its position against the mountainside allows for a residence that follows the natural slope, opens to the valley views, and incorporates terraces, large glass walls and protected outdoor spaces. Fee-simple land within a limited collection of 110 homesites, offering a rare opportunity to build in one of Palm Springs' most architecturally compelling contemporary communities.
