The San Ardo Compound is a fully renovated desert retreat defined by privacy, craftsmanship, and layered indoor-outdoor living. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence spans approximately 1,124 sq. ft. and was thoughtfully remodeled by the owners for their own use, with an emphasis on design, quality, and livability. The property is fully enclosed within a secure setting, anchored by a custom iron entry gate and surrounded by mature ficus hedging forming continuous living walls along the entire perimeter creating exceptional privacy and a lush green buffer. Set in the foothills of Desert Hot Springs on the most desirable side of the street, within the coveted spa zone, the property captures unobstructed, panoramic views of the San Jacinto Mountains, offering a quiet elevated vantage point wit h a strong sense of seclusion and natural beauty.

The grounds are thoughtfully composed with a cactus garden, plumeria, lantana, lime tree, lemon tree, desert sage, and oleander, bringing texture, color, and year-round vibrancy to the landscape.
