Incredible gate within a gate, this is a Custom mini-estate of rare distinction. A Ministrelli-built residence, the crown jewel of Painted Cove. Set on an expansive 18,295 sqft lot with sweeping southern mountain views, the 3,834 sqft Santa Barbara style home is impeccably maintained and framed by lush gardens and a free flowing saltwater pool. Three bedrooms and a flexible office suite that can double as a bedroom, 3.5 baths, formal living and family rooms, three fireplaces, and a triple garage create a refined and very livable layout. The chef's kitchen features bull-nosed slab granite, full backsplash, and premium Viking and Bosch appliances. Located within an exclusive 79-home gated enclave in South La Quinta, moments from world-class dining, shopping, and championship golf, this is desert living at its most elevated.
