Buena Vista

Set across more than 40 private acres in the heart of Coachella Valley, Buena Vista is a rare desert estate where scale, nature, and design converge in effortless harmony. Just minutes from the Empire Polo Fields and a short drive to Palm Springs, this 7,700-square-foot mid-century modern retreat feels entirely its own world—framed by mountain horizons, open desert skies, and a private freshwater lake that reflects the changing light from dawn to dusk. With 9 bedrooms accommodating up to 20 guests, the estate is designed for connection, celebration, and complete escape.

Inside, the architecture is open, intentional, and deeply inviting. Sunlight pours through expansive glass, illuminating clean modern lines, curated art walls, and warm mid-century textures. The great room unfolds as the heart of the home, where lounge seating gathers around a refined yet relaxed living space designed for long conversations and unhurried afternoons. A chef-caliber kitchen anchors the interior, seamlessly connected to a spacious dining area where meals become shared experiences. Each bedroom offers a quiet retreat, thoughtfully arranged for rest and privacy, while the surrounding landscape remains ever-present through wide, framing views.

Life at Buena Vista moves with ease and possibility. Spend mornings in the game room with a slow coffee, or gather in the saloon-style wet bar as the day transitions into evening. The estate invites both celebration and stillness—whether that means billiards after dinner, wellness sessions in open-air spaces, or simply retreating into a corner of the home with music and mountain views. Designed for groups, retreats, and meaningful time together, every space encourages you to linger, reconnect, and unwind at your own rhythm.

Step outside and the estate expands into a private desert playground. A shimmering pool and spa overlook the freshwater lake, where paddleboarding at sunrise feels almost meditative. Lounge beneath palms, gather around the fire pit as the sky turns soft pink, or savor long al fresco dinners framed by open desert air. The property unfolds with moments of discovery—bocce ball, horseshoe courts, volleyball, and wide lawns made for unstructured joy. As night falls, the bonfire becomes the natural gathering point, where conversation carries easily under a sky filled with stars.

Beyond the gates, Coachella Valley opens into a world of exploration. Championship golf courses, luxury spas, and El Paseo’s designer shopping and dining are just minutes away, while Palm Springs offers art museums, iconic mid-century architecture, and a vibrant culinary scene. Joshua Tree’s otherworldly landscapes and desert hiking trails are within easy reach for those seeking adventure. An insider tip from your host: begin the day early on the lake before the desert heat rises, then return at sunset for firelight and still water—the estate reveals its most unforgettable moments in these quiet transitions.
