Posted on 07. Feb, 2011 by LuxSpaces in Amazing Homes, For Sale
Offered at $55 million, Porcupine Creek is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a private golf estate.
Porcupine Creek is a private estate with its own 19-hole golf course, acclaimed by Golf Digest as the 13th best course in all of California. Offered at US$55 million, the 249-acre estate includes a spectacular main residence, multiple guest accommodations, full spa facilities and gymnasium, an expansive pool area, and the 18-hole golf course with an additional playoff challenge.
Located in the heart of the sun-drenched Coachella Valley, Rancho Mirage lies at the base of Southern California’s Santa Rosa Mountains. Ten miles from the town of Palm Springs, this desert oasis boasts dramatic canyons, beguiling desert landscapes, a year-round temperate climate, and some of the greatest golf courses in the world.
Porcupine Creek Golf Estate
The estate perfectly balances security with relaxation, and elegance with rustic charm. A memorable entertainment venue, served by commercial kitchens, Porcupine Creek has hosted charity events comfortably attended by more than 500 guests, international superstar bands, in addition to the most intimate family gatherings.
Encompassing a triangle of land with sweeping panoramas of the Coachella Valley floor and the Santa Rosa Mountains, the course was designed with guidance from Tom Weiskopf, Dave Stockton and Annika Sorenstam.
A resort pool anchors the oversized deck, which is perfectly suited to view golfers finishing the 18th hole. A stone water slide is artfully incorporated into a dramatic wall of large boulders over which a waterfall cascades into the deep end.
The pool area offers a palapa bar, commercial kitchen, water slide, and spa with an in-ground champagne holder. The facilities encompass a wealth of recreational amenities in addition to the golf course, such as a driving range and clubhouse. The nearby outdoor party grotto has a full-size stage fit for concerts and other large events. The grounds also boast a children’s play area with circus carousel.
Plenty of Room for Guests
Porcupine Creek features specially-designed guest accommodation throughout the estate, including four guest houses and four casitas.
Exceptionally private, the 1,860-square-foot guest houses are set well apart from the main residence and provide spacious accommodations for visiting family and guests.
- Four 600-square-foot casitas are nestled beside the main entrance and are each uniquely decorated with nautical themes. The casitas are connected to each other by an arched portal and wooded decking, and include a main room with king-sized bed and seating area, a full bathroom and a kitchenette.
- Four 1,860-square-foot guest houses offer luxurious accommodation for larger parties and families. The guest houses radiate from a court off the main driveway. The identical floor plans feature two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a living room with a fireplace, a wine closet, and a kitchen. All are appointed with relaxing outdoor living spaces with garden views.
Rancho Mirage became a popular second-home destination after billionaire philanthropist Walter Annenberg built his expansive retreat in the area during the 1960s, and today claims numerous Hollywood celebrities, corporate executives, and politicians among its part-time residents.
The Porcupine Creek Golf Estate is listed at $55,000,000. Contact Jeff Hyland of Hilton and Hyland by calling 310 278 3311 or email jeff@hiltonhyland.com.
