Located a short distance from the guard gates and Club House, Villa Joie, is an example of Mission Hills living at its best. This rare Phase One end unit is ideally positioned with East and West facing vistas. The Villa is surrounded entirely by landscaped grounds built and maintained by the owner. A unique characteristic for Mission Hills Country Club. Step through glass double doors and enter the great room with its dramatic step-down floors, vaulted ceilings and oversized fireplace. This grand home is surrounded by walls of glass and every room has access to the outdoors. The first bedroom has its own entrance on the North side of the home and is perfect for a Casita or home office. Next to the laundry room you'll find an updated European-inspired open concept kitchen with new appliances, and a breakfast bar that flows into a formal dining room with mountain views. Built in 1971 some original details remain like double vanities, a sunken tub, and an atrium in the primary bathroom. The luxurious main suite is surrounded by Palm trees, mountain views, and has tons of extra closets. The third bedroom with its bathroom adjacent has direct access to the front patio. The current owner spent years cultivating the landscaping of this home and many plants take pride of place around the exterior. The large Terra Cotta patio in front is greeted by the sun each day as it peeks above the Olive tree and is framed in mature multi colored bougainvillea reminiscent of the Mediterranean. The large private West facing rear patio also framed in mature bougainvillea is shaded by a Pergola and provides the ultimate experience in entertaining, dining, or lounging on weekends. Located just steps across the lawn you'll find the pool which feels like it belongs to the home. To complete this scene the San Jacinto Mountains serve as the perfect backdrop. There is a two car garage with lots of storage and a golf cart section. Villa Joie is a rare and special offering in one of Rancho Mirage's most coveted communities. When you experience the sun setting behind the mountains as the house is flooded with blue light you'll know why. There is also low-cost leased solar for extra savings. Seller is a Trust. Seller will cooperate with the land lease extension.
