Property Description
Welcome to an extraordinary offering in Thunderbird Estates, one of Rancho Mirage's most exclusive and private enclaves, comprised of just 28 residences. This iconic desert modern home, originally designed in 1955 by renowned mid-century architect William Cody, spans approximately 4,821 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, gracefully positioned along the 18th fairway of Thunderbird Country Club. Walls of glass--true to Cody's signature style--frame breathtaking panoramic vistas of three majestic mountain ranges while seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. A complete interior remodel showcases refined, high-end finishes and meticulous attention to detail, delivering a move-in ready residence tailored for the most discerning buyer. Grand-scale rooms are flooded with natural light, creating an ambiance that is both sophisticated and inviting. Outdoors, the estate is enveloped by mature, low-maintenance desert landscaping, offering a serene and private setting ideal for poolside entertaining under the desert sky. Rich in history, the home was originally built for Lawrence ''Red'' and Jessie Oakes and was featured in Architectural Digest in 1962. Thoughtfully and sensitively renovated, it honors its architectural heritage while embracing modern luxury--ready for its next 70 years. Located just a short stroll from the clubhouse, residents who choose to join Thunderbird Country Club enjoy premier amenities and a storied legacy once shared by Hollywood icons and industry leaders. Having been cherished by its current guardians for over two decades, this is a rare opportunity to own not just a home, but an unparalleled lifestyle in one of the desert's most coveted communities.
