Discover the Elemental Retreat House, a modern home designed by a renowned San Francisco architect and nestled on a 1.25-acre secluded lot located just outside of Desert Hot Springs. This 2000 sq.ft., 3-bedroom, 2 bath home offers tranquility, eco-conscious design and income-generating potential, all just 20 minutes from downtown Palm Springs and a short drive to Coachella. Large double-pane sliding doors positioned, every 8 feet, frame breathtaking 360-degree mountain and desert views. The home is divided into two 1000 sq. ft. wings, connected by a covered central space with pull up door, creating a weather protected indoor/outdoor living area. The main wing houses a guest bedroom with bath, a spacious living room, dining area and fully equipped kitchen. The other wing houses two expansive 450 sq.ft. master suites, featuring 2 sliding doors each that open to spacious covered patios, perfect for morning coffee or stargazing under the desert sky. The innovative double-roof design, with a 5,000-square-foot top roof, shields the home from the desert sun while channeling cooling breezes between the roofs, ensuring comfort even in the hottest months. Wrapped in 18 inches of Styrofoam insulation and clad in elegant cedar, this super-insulated home achieves near-zero energy consumption, complemented by a one-year-old solar system that virtually eliminates electricity costs. The heart of the Elemental Retreat House is its therapeutic mineral water well, delivering odorless, 85°F mineral-rich water year-round. Packed with health-enhancing minerals, this water fills the oversized pool, luxurious jacuzzi, and all showers, transforming your home into a private spa retreat. Additional amenities include a large laundry/storage room with a sink and new water heater, mini split air conditioners for personalized comfort, and smart home features controlling the pool, spa, lighting, and security system via Wi-Fi. Guests on a recognized short term rental site have awarded this property a 5-star rating, praising its wellness-focused amenities and serene ambiance, making it a proven income generator with an active short-term rental permit from Riverside County.
