Tucked behind the gates of Mountain Gate, a resort-style community set against the mountains of Palm Springs, this sought-after single-level Bella floor plan features 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, including a detached CASITA, and pairs easy desert living with a private backyard. Rooftop SOLAR is a major plus. Just minutes from Uptown Palm Springs and situated on Fee Land (you own it), the home offers a wonderful combination of a gated setting, mountain surroundings, and your own saltwater pool and spa. Inside, an open floor plan centers on a living area anchored by a fireplace and flows naturally into the updated kitchen with island seating, breakfast area, pantry, stylish finishes, and adjacent dining area. Handsome shutters throughout add a finished look. Sliding doors open to the ultra-private backyard, creating the indoor-outdoor lifestyle Palm Springs is known for. The southwest-facing backyard features a saltwater pool and spa with room to soak up the sun or unwind in the shade, all enjoying dramatic Mt. San Jacinto views. Great separation of bedrooms is another highlight. The primary suite is positioned behind double doors and enjoys direct access to the pool area, an updated bath with separate tub and shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. On the opposite side of the home, two guest bedrooms share a full bath, with one offering direct access to the pool area. The detached casita opens directly to the front walk and features a kitchenette and walk-in closet, offering excellent flexibility for guests, a home office, studio, or extended stays. A 3-car garage and RV parking are rare finds. Low HOA fees and low-maintenance landscaping make ownership easy. Mountain Gate residents enjoy three community pools and spas, tennis courts, a basketball court, and beautifully maintained grounds.
