Sonora Road

Rancho Mirage, Kalifornia, USA

Exceptional 1970's modern estate located high above the desert floor in the exclusive gated community of Thunderbird Heights, offering 360-degree panoramic views. This sleek, extremely private luxury home boasts steel beam construction with slump stone white walls. The house was designed by Ira Johnson, AIA, and George Ritter, AIA, both understudies of William Cody. The house is a 70s interpretation using the latest architectural materials (big sliders/steel beam trusses) of homes Cody built in the 50s and 60s with white mud brick walls. In addition, it is essential to note that a significant architectural goal was perfecting the site lines for ALL bedrooms, which were designed to offer extraordinary views of the Santa Rosa mountains. Attention to detail in design and function provides a Zen environment and evokes peaceful living in perfect harmony with the desert lifestyle. Unwind in a great open room with glass walls, bringing the outdoors in and providing a panoramic vista of mountains, lush outdoor landscape, and the city lights below. 4-bedroom suites, separate office, 4.5 baths with approximately 4,845 square feet of living space, a three-car garage, and three automatic steel and glass gates for ultimate privacy. The home is offered designer furnished with exquisite custom European Mid Century modern furniture. In addition, the house has a museum-quality art collection that is highlighted by custom Element light fixtures connected to a Control 4/Lutron system.
