1870 S Crestview

About this home

Exceptional development opportunity in The Mesa, one of South Palm Springs’ most prestigious hillside neighborhoods. This 0.86-acre (37,000+ sq ft) buildable lot offers a rare chance to create a high-value custom residence in a market where finished luxury homes command a significant premium. Elevated above the valley, the site delivers commanding 360-degree views of the Coachella Valley, surrounding desert, and the San Jacinto Mountains. A well-executed architectural program can capitalize on these vistas from nearly every living space—maximizing view corridors, privacy, and long-term value. The Mesa’s limited inventory, established prestige, and creative legacy continue to drive strong demand. The property’s proximity to the area historically associated with Zane Grey’s desert retreat reinforces the neighborhood’s Old Palm Springs character—an increasingly valuable differentiator in the luxury market. Offering privacy, scale, and proximity—just minutes from downtown Palm Springs—this site presents an attractive opportunity for investors or owner-builders seeking to develop a standout residence in a supply-constrained, high-barrier submarket. Large parcels with this combination of views, location, and buildability are increasingly rare in The Mesa. **This listing contains photos of a conceptual exhibit showing a potential single-story Palm Springs-style residence, direct access from Crestview Drive, a four-bedroom/three-bath layout, pool and terrace, and how the house could step modestly with the natural terrain. The materials are identified as conceptual and not for construction or as representing an approved design.** **Please see the supplements for a proposed floor plan and footprint
