Property Description

Wake up and fall asleep to your very own slice of heaven in Pinyon Crest! Claiming a commanding mountaintop setting on a very generous 2.8+ acre lot, this impressive home overlooks the beautiful Santa Rosa Mountains & the Coachella Valley w/ top-of-the-world views that’ll take your breath away. This is one of, if not, the highest lot in the community. Once owned by Denny Miller from Wagon Train & Tarzan, 60475 Scenic Dr is a hidden gem where nature & serenity take center stage. The unique appeal of the home is at once grand & cozy w/ its rustic stucco façade & array of oversized windows that frame out the beauty of landscape. For entertainment, there are plenty of spaces to gather: the dining rm w/ fireplace, spacious library w/ fireplace & charming hearth rm tucked off the kitchen, also w/ fireplace. As you meander, you will note the generous storage & counter space throughout, where high ceilings, exposed beams & voluminous rooms invite a relaxed old world aesthetic. The sleek kitchen is adorned w/ white shaker cabinets, clean-lined countertops & stainless steel appliances. From here, it’s easy to head out to the deck / patios to enjoy alfresco meals to the splendorous panoramas of the mountains & Valley. Perched at ~ 4300 ft, this secluded Shangri-La offers a welcome respite w/ temps up to 20 degrees cooler than the desert, inviting you to spend your evenings dining beneath a canopy of stars. To ensure further peace-of-mind living, the home’s updated w/ a newly installed septic system, 2-car garage, newer HVAC & Anderson doors/windows (worth ~$40k). Only about ½ mi away from Frank Sinatra's past private hideaway, "Villa Maggio", sources say that his team built the water well systems for this community. HOA maintains roads & water well system helping preserve the tranquility & functionality of this special mountain community. The University of CA system owns 400 acres immediately next to/west of the property, most likely for research & preservation so possibly a build-free zone next door! This property offers a valuable place to truly disconnect w/out giving up accessibility if you are running a business in the Valley. Palm Desert & Palm Springs are only a short drive away, while the mountain setting provides the privacy, cooler climate & tranquility that can be difficult to find in the Valley. Come up, slow down and enjoy the view. Your mountain retreat is waiting - Priced below recent appraisal - Ultimate natural privacy is reality with this location!
