About this home

This isn't just a house, it is a space that inspires. Natural light pours in through skylights, dancing across vaulted ceilings and art-worthy walls. The open floor plan flows effortlessly, with thoughtful separation of space that makes entertaining easy and private retreats possible. Three generous living areas set the stage for gatherings big and small, whether it's a weekend full of friends or a quiet night at home. The primary suite has its own private wing, a true retreat with a sitting area (currently an office), a secluded patio, and a spa-like bath. Two additional en-suite bedrooms, one oversized, are perfectly placed for guests. At the heart of the home, a custom bar with wine and beverage fridges meets a TV wall built for movie nights or game-day celebrations. The modern kitchen, with walk-in pantry and abundant storage, keeps the chef part of the party. Most appliances are less than two years old. Two custom fireplaces, each finished with striking tile, bring both warmth and a touch of artistic drama, while outside a grassy yard welcomes kids and pets. A 10-person swim spa offers year-round relaxation, and close by, you'll find the community pool, spa, tennis, and pickleball courts. Set in a gated community beside the world-famous Sunnylands estate and across from Mission Hills, you're minutes from luxury shopping, favorite everyday stores, and the upcoming Disney Cotino community. With front yard care included in the HOA dues and 60 leased solar panels for energy efficiency, it's as easy to lock-and-leave as it is to stay and savor. Come see for yourself why 12 Santa Clara Drive isn't just a home, it's where your next chapter of elevated desert living begins.

Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1981, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, particularly in the kitchen and key bathrooms. The kitchen features modern flat-panel cabinetry, new countertops, and most appliances are less than two years old. The powder room is also very modern with stylish finishes. Flooring throughout is updated with a mix of contemporary tile and hardwood-style planks. The property benefits from 60 leased solar panels and modern mini-split AC units, indicating updated systems. While the original structure is older and some elements (like the secondary bathroom's tile) may not be brand new, the overall condition is move-in ready with a contemporary aesthetic, reflecting significant recent investment and meeting current quality standards for a 'Good' rating, leaning towards 'Excellent' due to the extent of the updates.
Pros & Cons

Prime Location & Gated Community: Situated in a desirable gated community near the world-famous Sunnylands estate, Mission Hills, luxury shopping, and the upcoming Disney Cotino development, offering convenience and prestige.
Extensive Amenities: Features a private 10-person swim spa for year-round relaxation, complemented by community access to a pool, spa, tennis, and pickleball courts.
Modern & Thoughtful Design: Boasts an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light from skylights, a modern kitchen with new appliances, a custom bar, and a luxurious, private primary suite wing.
Significant Energy Efficiency: Equipped with 60 leased solar panels, providing substantial energy cost savings and promoting sustainable living.
Low-Maintenance Lifestyle: HOA dues include front yard care, making it an ideal 'lock-and-leave' property suitable for seasonal residents or those seeking minimal upkeep.

Cons

Absence of Views: The property explicitly states 'None' for views, which may be a significant detractor for buyers prioritizing scenic vistas in the Rancho Mirage area.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price drops from the original list price of $1.1M to the current $999k could suggest initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially impacting buyer perception of value.
Property Age: Built in 1981, despite described updates, the underlying structure is over 40 years old, which might raise concerns for some buyers regarding potential future maintenance or system longevity.
