About this property

Electrically operated steel gates secure a 600-foot-long sweeping driveway assuring security as well as extreme privacy in this exclusive two-acre hillside compound. Enjoy mesmerizing panoramas of twinkling city lights and the magical desert below. Organic materials of stone, wood and steel combined with soaring high ceilings promote the sensation of pure ultramodern elegance. You have arrived!

Bask in the captivating silence of serene morning sunrises, or relax as glowing mountain sunsets evolve into a black overhead dome sprinkled with sparkling stars. This upscale hidden enclave of Cahuilla Hills sits directly adjacent to Big Horn Country Club at the base of the Santa Rosa mountains. Viking Villa is a unique world among quiet, eclectic neighborhoods of multi-acre estates. Choose a view to take your breath away--sweeping desert panoramas or towering rocky mountains.

Use your smartphone to connect your favorite music through our overhead sound system that permeates indoors as well as outdoors. Then relax on the patio chaise lounges as both the sun and moon rise directly over a 60-foot infinity-edge, saltwater pool. The shallow, black-pebble-bottom shell is ideal for swimming laps.

Contemporary architecture is about feeling the power and majesty of modern minimalist design. From the bubbling Jacuzzi to outdoor granite kitchen, the entire villa is at your disposal along with immediate access to premier hiking trails. And we promise that as a guest in the House of the Viking you'll feel like you are on another planet.

Viking Villa is a perfect synthesis of modern design, romance and spirituality while you inhale the warm desert tranquility. And yet we are only three minutes away from Palm Desert's famous El Paseo high-end shopping along with extensive venues of fine dining establishments. Or have your private chef prepare your meals in our professional stainless steel kitchen.

Included are three deluxe bedrooms, four luxurious granite-bathrooms, chef's kitchen and palatial Great Room, all in a storybook 4,300 sf villa. A world away yet we are close enough for a quick Uber ride to golf tournaments, tennis events and rock shows.

We also provide an onsite helicopter pad for convenient shuttling to and from So Cal airports as well as local events.

Exceptional Home, Location and Views!

We felt like we were on top of the world! A truly amazing property with an owner to match! The location was just up the street from the lovely El Paseo shopping district, but you wouldn't know it when you were in the home, - it felt like we were floating in nature. Thank you to Glen for being such a wonderful and attentive host.
