2.5-acre vacant parcel in Pinyon Crest offering an opportunity to build in a mountain setting approximately 20 minutes from Palm Desert. Previous plans and approvals were obtained for a 2,001-square-foot residence with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an attached garage. Although those approvals and the initial grading and septic permits have expired, much of the prior planning work may provide a useful starting point for a future owner, subject to verification and approval by the appropriate agencies. The parcel features broad desert and mountain views, natural terrain, and a setting that offers privacy while remaining within convenient reach of the Coachella Valley. Water service is available through the Pinyon Crest homeowners association, eliminating the need to drill a private well. Whether you're planning a full-time residence, a second home, or a retreat, this property presents an opportunity to create a custom home in a distinctive desert mountain community. Buyers are encouraged to investigate the status of prior plans, approvals, permits, development requirements, and utility availability to determine their suitability for the buyer's intended use.

Wow what a terrific property! Like many of the ~2.5 acre lots in this area, it has the abundance of size that is desirable. What makes this particular lot so special, it is a corner lot in the heart of the community, it is an elevated lot with great valley & mountain views, and it also has topography with many interesting features like the borderline trees, or the dry creek bed along the back/side, and the large buildable areas too. Road easements exist along both streets, however over 2+ acres still remain as potential building sites (2025 surveys attached to this MLS listing, or available upon request). Note: the current owners have some concept drawings prepared (nothing submitted for approvals), however as they are architects/designers, they may be open to discussions if desired. And let's talk about the advantages of being within a community of ~202 properties. Pinyon Crest HOA and their property mgmt company DRM, work together to maintain the roads with things like proper grading and signage, and they also the manage the local water system for residents -yay! (see the annual water report). Electric and water services are nearby for attachment, typically near the property lines or streets. What a great little slice of heaven, a beautiful lot known as #84 right here on Mountain Park Road. Come see it for yourself today! Feel free to call, text or email with any questions :). Financing options available.

Perched high above the Coachella Valley in the historic mountain community of Pinyon Crest, this authentic 1959 mid-century residence offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's earliest architectural homes. Built years before Frank Sinatra chose these mountains for his famed Villa Maggio retreat, the home represents the beginning of Pinyon Crest's legacy as a secluded escape for those seeking privacy, cooler temperatures, and extraordinary natural beauty. Set on approximately 2.5 private acres, the property captures sweeping, nearly 360-degree views spanning the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains, the Coachella Valley, and the surrounding high desert landscape. Just twenty minutes from El Paseo in Palm Desert, it feels remarkably removed from the pace of everyday life. Designed around the principles that define timeless mid-century architecture, the home embraces its surroundings through expansive walls of glass, oversized sliding doors, and thoughtfully positioned living spaces that invite the outdoors in. Exposed wood beam ceilings, warm natural materials, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling masonry fireplace create an atmosphere that is both striking and welcoming. Thoughtfully updated while respecting its architectural character, the interiors remain intentionally understated, allowing the home's greatest feature--the ever-changing landscape beyond every window-- to take center stage. Spacious bedrooms, open living areas, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow make the home equally suited as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or seasonal escape. Outside, the private pool and spa overlook one of Southern California's most captivating mountain settings, where brilliant sunsets give way to star-filled skies and the silence is interrupted only by the sounds of nature. Rich in history, grounded in architecture, and surrounded by remarkable beauty, 61579 Sun Terrace is more than a home-- it's a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience a side of the desert that few ever discover.
