About this home

Set high in the exclusive hillside enclave of Desert Palisades, Lot 67 offers a rare opportunity to create a landmark desert residence in one of Palm Springs's most architecturally celebrated communities. With building plans that come with Palm Springs Architectural Review Committee (ARC) approval, this lot is primed for the finish line! Spanning 0.52 acres, this gently sloping homesite enjoys a desirable northeast-facing orientation and sweeping, unobstructed views across the Coachella Valley toward the distant ranges surrounding Joshua Tree National Park. Known for its bold architectural vision, Desert Palisades blends iconic Mid-Century inspiration with forward-thinking modern design, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains. Thoughtfully spaced parcels preserve both privacy and panoramic vistas, creating a tranquil setting that defines the elevated Palm Springs lifestyle. Adding significant value, the property includes a comprehensive architectural package already approved by the City and HOA, along with preliminary grading and landscape plans, a formal HOA approval letter, and a completed hydrology study. The plans envision a striking 3,280-square-foot modern residence featuring three bedrooms, a four-car garage, resort-style pool, and a 332-square-foot ADU, providing a rare head start toward building a custom desert retreat. All utilities, including city sewer, water, and power are stubbed to the site, making this one of the few ready-to-build luxury parcels currently available in Desert Palisades. With newly completed residences in Desert Palisades commanding values in the $6-$8 million range and continued demand for architecturally significant homes in Palm Springs, Lot 67 represents a compelling opportunity to secure a premier homesite in one of the desert's most exclusive modern communities.
