Desert Knoll is a beautiful luxury home on 1/3 of an acre on a great location in the hills above Palm Springs. Desert Knoll isolates its guests from neighbors, street and wind with privacy hedges and trees on three sides, yet it provides sweeping 270* vistas of the desert, mountains and a great southern exposure. From the moment you enter the front gate you'll enjoy the impressive desert modern architecture, high end finishes, stylish modern furnishings, and gorgeous artwork in this steel, glass and concrete masterpiece.

Desert Knoll is conveniently located 5 minutes from downtown Palm Springs, on a quiet street overlooking the Coachella Valley with the San Jacinto Mountains right behind it. Maximum Occupancy is limited to 6 adults and 2 children under 12. Daytime guests are limited to 4 and this is Not A Party or Event House, prior approval required for one pet only. From June 1st to September 1, there is a $15/day electricity fee. (System will automatically add to other dates, we will take off when that happens. ) Pool heating is optional and charged separately. City of Palm Springs ID #2392

Desert Knoll is designed with an eye to the classic contemporary architecture that defines the Palm Springs lifestyle; open & exciting. The flat roof, 14' ceilings, clean lines and wide expanses of glass provide panoramic views, abundant natural light, and erase the line between indoors & out for seamless living & entertaining. At first look, the house blends in perfectly with the desert terrain; huge boulders accented with natural landscaping indigenous to the area. As you approach the tall glass entry, you'll immediately understand the scale & volume of the house. The oversized entry hall with towering ceilings is formal, yet inviting. Desert Knoll was built for entertaining in style. The giant sliding walls of glass in the living room disappear into the wall to make a large open-air pavilion facing the new black bottom rock pool and view, providing plenty of lounge seating for everyone, either in front of the indoor living room wood fireplace or around the outdoor fire pit.

The large modern chef's kitchen features high end appliances from A to Z and has a convenient pass-through breakfast bar to the living/dining room. It also provides added privacy for dinner party preparations with a butler's pantry directly behind the kitchen, where you'll find an extra ice machine, wine refrigerator and laundry facilities. For extra flexibility, there are additional large-capacity laundry facilities in the garage. In addition to the generously sized dining table for eight in the main living area, there is an additional outdoor dining table for eight and a gas barbecue grill just outside the kitchen.

Once inside, the walls and gates that secure the property and protect its privacy, the setting is a verdant green tropical landscape dotted with gorgeous outdoor furniture that has a luxurious cooling effect to the eye & the senses.

The Master suite offers a King size bed, walk-in closet and generous private bathroom with jetted soaking tub and walk-in rain shower, as well as a private sitting patio outside the bathroom and second patio facing the pool. The second Master bedroom features a King size bed that can be separated into Twin beds when needed, a private bathroom with walk-in shower, and a private patio off the bathroom. The third bedroom has a King size bed, a built-in desk space and direct access to the pool. In the hallway just outside this bedroom is a full guest bathroom with walk-in shower. All three bedrooms feature brand new comfortable beds and quality linens, so everyone gets a 'good bedroom' in this luxury home.

One of the best features of Desert Knoll is the private pool deck out back. The sparkling blue swimming pool, bubbling spa and shaded lounge area with water misters and a gas fire pit are great places to hang out with a cocktail and enjoy the view to such well-known neighborhoods as Little Tuscany, Chino Canyon, Old Las Palmas and Vista Las Palmas in the foreground, all the way to South Palm Springs in the distance. In New Years, sit back and enjoy the fireworks with a cocktail in your hand.

The house is protected by a 24 hour alarm system and it has high capacity WiFi for the house and grounds. Each room is equipped with a large flat screen HDTV, DVD players and Bluetooth docking radio clocks. There is Netflix, Amazon, HBO and more available in every room and living room. There is a 2 zone Bluetooth high end stereo system that covers the whole house, plus a Bluetooth sound bar in the living room next to the 55' HDTV with DVD. There is also a printer, scanner, fax for your basic office needs and a small 10 bottle wine refrigerator for your better vintages.

The house has a large book selection of diverse topics, various water toys and floats, multiple toys for 1 year olds to 5 or so, a golf rack for your clubs and shoes,

Desert Knoll strives to be as green as possible. It has a 60 panel solar system, LED lighting, desert landscaping were possible, smart appliances and smart home features. It also boasts a large back up gas powered generator for the more than occasional PS power outage.

The home is stocked with high quality linens and towels. The baths and the kitchen are stocked with soaps, shampoos and paper supplies to help start your stay.

Desert Knoll is a 100% smoke free property inside and out. Any smoking must be done outside the front gate. This is Not a Party or event house under any circumstances. We strictly enforce Palm Springs City ordinances on occupancy and outside noise restrictions. No drone flying, no fireworks, please, no parties or events, or pets without prior authorization.

    Robert was very helpful and always available. The house had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was well equipped, the house staples (soaps, paper products, spices) were well stocked. The pool can be heated to 86 and the spa hotter. Loved the seating for dinner. Both outside and inside tables could seat 8. We would rent again.

    We needed a warm quick get-away from the rain and cold of the Pacific Northwest. This house hit all of our MUST HAVES check list: King beds for everyone, a heated pool, hot tub, and several hangout areas. The kitchen was great and had everything we needed. The house Manager, Robert, was the best!

    We loved our stay at Desert Knoll. Robert is simply amazing as any little thing that need to fixed, was done immediately and efficiently. We spent most of our time outside in the pool and hot tub but the home has everything you need. For a wonderful stay. Thanks again, Robert for being such a great host and sharing your home with us

    This luxury home is everything it is described to be and Robert was a wonderful and gracious property owner. The views from the patio and pool are ahhhmazing and the pool itself is an oasis of calm and relaxation. The neighborhood is among the best in Palm Springs and the home was filled with confirta included thick towels, soft bedding and a fully sticked kitchen. This home is a wonderful gem and a step above your typical vacation rental.

    Throughout the years, we have vacationed at many rental homes and by far this property has been the best. We appreciated the privacy that this property offers and the quiet neighborhood. All of the amenities on the property are of high caliber. Almost all of our meals were enjoyed by the exceptional backyard pool area. You'll love the manicured backyard garden area and the inside of the house is very roomy. We would recommend this property to our family and friends without hesitation.. We love this place so much that we plan on vacationing here every summer.

    Could not have been more perfect! We stayed 11 nights at Desert Knoll and had such a wonderful time. The home is beautiful and perfectly located just a few miles from downtown. Desert Knoll is spacious, clean, and fully equipped. We spent most of our time on a raft in the pool surrounded by palm trees and silence! :) Check-in & out went smoothly and communication with Robert was easy and efficient. We would definitely return!!
