About this property
Pristine and serene mid-century gem in historic Magnesia Falls Cove
Come enjoy a little slice of paradise in a relaxed, midcentury neighborhood nestled into the San Jacinto hills. This sun-filled, fully restored, 1956 architectural beauty features everything you need to make your stay wonderfully relaxing. Whether you're visiting in the summer or winter, the Blue Mirage has what you need.
Parking is in cool, shaded, secure comfort in the two-car garage, which can also be used to store golf clubs, luggage, coolers, or any other large items you'd rather not have in the house.
The kitchen is a chef's dream. Enjoy two full sets of cookware (stainless steel Calphalon and nonstick GreenPan), an extensive spice drawer, lots of appliances and utensils (and sharp knives), and tons of prep space on the large island. With a view to the hills from the sink, you're going to love cooking in this kitchen.
And while you're cooking, choose one of the classic albums to play on the vintage stereo and get a cozy fire going in the fireplace.
All the bedrooms have closets, hangers, and chest of drawers. Queen-size Leasa mattresses are in the guestrooms, and a king-size Tempurpedic memory foam mattress is in the primary en-suite bedroom. All have premium sheets and pillows. The guestrooms feature sliding glass doors opening directly to the pool, while the primary bedroom looks out on a private patio garden.
The bathrooms include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryers, and panoramic views of the hills. Premium bath towels and pool towels are provided.
Working from home? A 32" monitor, printer, and rolling desk are available to set up where you like. Just bring your laptop!
Take your pick of where to lounge about in the backyard; whether under one of the vintage malt shop umbrellas, floating in the pool, or around the fire pit. The pool umbrella makes even the hottest days feel pleasant while you doze off on the Baja shelf. Enjoy a game of Cornhole before grilling up some steaks at the outdoor BBQ bar for dinner outside under the cafe lights.
The Blue Mirage is in a great location - Palm Springs and its airport are a 20 minute drive away, and Joshua Tree National Park is about an hour away, making for a perfect day trip. Dozens of shops including Whole Foods, Target, and El Paseo Drive are 5 minutes away. The River shopping center with all its shops and movie theaters is a 5-minute walk. The Rancho Mirage Public Library is a short drive or walk. The Bump and Grind trail, a local favorite with views of the entire Coachella Valley, is easily accessible by foot from Magnesia Falls Cove.
The Blue Mirage is waiting for you!

About the host
Hosted by Darcy R

We are Darcy and Stu, your hosts. We've been in the interior design and architecture fields in Los Angeles for 25 and 35 years, respectively. It has long been a dream of ours to own a mid-century modern home (in this case, 1956!) and share its beautiful, relaxed elegance with others who we know will appreciate it as we do. We want the Blue Mirage to be the backdrop to your wonderful desert vacation memories!
Why they chose this property
Magnesia Falls Cove is a fabulous collection of mid-century homes lining quiet, walkable streets at the foot of the San Jacinto desert hills.
What makes this property unique
The Blue Mirage is very close to so many nearby conveniences. Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Albertsons, Target, and True Value Hardware are only 5 minutes away. World-class shopping and restaurants are less than 10 minutes away at the famous El Paseo.
