Property Description

The San Ardo Compound is a fully renovated desert retreat defined by privacy, craftsmanship, and layered indoor-outdoor living. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence spans approximately 1,124 sq. ft. and was thoughtfully remodeled by the owners for their own use, with an emphasis on design, quality, and livability. The property is fully enclosed within a secure setting, anchored by a custom iron entry gate and surrounded by mature ficus hedging forming continuous living walls along the entire perimeter creating exceptional privacy and a lush green buffer. Set in the foothills of Desert Hot Springs on the most desirable side of the street, within the coveted spa zone, the property captures unobstructed, panoramic views of the San Jacinto Mountains, offering a quiet elevated vantage point with a strong sense of seclusion and natural beauty. The city is widely recognized for its naturally occurring hot mineral aquifer waters and is also noted for the quality and character of its drinking water. Nestled within the spa zone, the home is surrounded by multiple walkable spas and wellness destinations, offering easy access to mineral water experiences. The grounds are thoughtfully composed with a cactus garden, plumeria, lantana, lime tree, lemon tree, desert sage, and oleander, bringing texture, color, and year-round vibrancy to the landscape. Multiple shaded seating areas are positioned throughout the property, creating distinct outdoor living zones for dining, lounging, and private retreat.A cowboy pool and spa anchor the outdoor experience, designed for relaxation beneath expansive desert skies. Handcrafted wood stairs descend to a lower garden space, an intimate and serene extension of the landscape ideal for quiet reflection, lounging, or enjoying the layered desert planting design.Fully irrigated landscaping wraps the home, reinforcing enclosure and harmony between architecture and nature. Inside, custom cabinetry by Modico pairs with curated finishes including premium Herman Miller fixtures and Kohler hardware, along with a striking emerald fluted bar tile by Artistic Tile, adding a sculptural design focal point.The private mountain view suite opens through vintage window-pane French doors, creating a charming and light-filled separate entrance that enhances indoor-outdoor flow and offers flexibility for guests or rental income potential, with a strong history as a successful short-term rental. Water filtration, layered outdoor spaces, and immersive landscaping complete the residence. In addition, two adjacent contiguous lots are available for purchase, offering an exceptional opportunity to expand the compound, preserve unobstructed views, or create a larger private estate footprint in the foothills of Desert Hot Springs. **Email confirmation received May 28th, 2026 from City of Desert Hot Springs that 66869 San Ardo is eligible for a short term rental permit.
