Architect-designed Sky Valley retreat on 2.5 acres in Desert Hot Springs. This 1960 single-family property was reimagined by its architect-owner and has 4 rooms and 1,678 sq ft across the main house and three detached buildings, with mountain views, a spa and open desert out the back. Picture your mornings here. The desert wakes up quietly, light moves across the mountains, and you have coffee outside with nothing between you and the open sky. Sky Valley is one of the most peaceful corners of the Coachella Valley. It's a small, quaint community of artists and makers, with nights dark enough to see the stars. Natural hot springs are close by, and hiking trails start where the property meets open desert.The design keeps the home's 1960 character and adds a clean, simple desert look. The sliding barn doors in the den were the property's original doors, saved and rehung inside. The main house has a primary suite and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. There's also a den with a Murphy bed, and both the living room and the den look out on the mountains and desert. The big projects are already done: updated plumbing, a 200-amp electrical panel, a new roof and fresh exterior finishes.Three detached buildings give you room for guests, a home office, an art or design studio, a gym
