Originally designed by acclaimed California architect Barry Berkus, The Love Residence is a distinguished Santa Barbara style estate on the eighth fairway of historic La Quinta Country Club. Set on a premier waterfront parcel, the approximately 4,100-square-foot home captures sweeping lake, fairway, and mountain views with exceptional privacy.
Comprehensively reconstructed in 2013, the residence preserves the character and gracious proportions of Berkus' design while introducing updated electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems, roof, windows, doors, kitchen, and baths.
Three bedrooms, four baths, an oversized office, and a family room offer generous spaces for desert living. Overlooking the mountains, pool, and lake, the primary suite features a fireside sitting area, bay windows, and oversized arched French doors. Its spacious bath includes two private water closets, dual dressing areas, and direct laundry access.
Vaulted, beamed ceilings and clerestory windows bring natural light into the principal living spaces. Fireplaces anchor the living and dining rooms, while arched French doors open to a covered veranda linking the pool terrace and private courtyard. Picture windows frame the surrounding landscape.
The chef's kitchen features two dishwashers, a gas cooktop, double ovens, a prep sink, solarium dining area, and adjoining wet bar. Outdoor entertaining areas include a built-in barbecue, mature landscaping, sculptural plantings, and tranquil water features.
The original casita, now incorporated into the expanded garage and storage areas, offers potential for reconfiguration as a fourth en-suite bedroom, subject to investigation and approvals.
Steps from association tennis courts, the home is convenient to La Quinta Resort & Club, Old Town La Quinta, Indian Wells Tennis Garden, and Eldorado Polo Club. Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport provides access for private aviation.
La Quinta Country Club offers golf, dining, fitness, pickleball, bocce, and an active social calendar. Club membership is optional and separate from the home purchase, subject to club policies and approval.
Architectural pedigree, a premier waterfront setting, and comprehensive reconstruction distinguish this exceptional desert estate.
