Property Description

Welcome to the ultimate desert trophy estate. A sprawling 40-acre private compound offering unprecedented scale and an uncompromising billionaire lifestyle in the heart of La Quinta. Masterfully designed by trailblazing icon Waldo Fernandez, the legendary Merv Griffin Estate is a magnificent masterwork of design, security, and prestige. This expansive sanctuary features 7 distinct residential structures totaling 13 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. Centered around a spectacular 5,500-SF main residence, framed by panoramic mountain views, a tranquil 2.5-acre private recreation lake, and elite equestrian facilities with a 16-stall barn and thoroughbred racing track. Driven by its own highly productive potable well with exclusive water rights, the compound offers rare, self-sufficient autonomy.The neighborhood is an unmatched global playground of luxury, entertainment, and sport. The estate sits directly across the street from the billionaire-haven Madison Club, behind the world-famous Empire Polo Fields (home to Coachella and Stagecoach), and just down the street from the iconic Indian Wells Tennis Garden. This premier location places you minutes from the best golf courses in the world, the high-end shopping and dining of El Paseo, and the desert's most exclusive new wave of elite developments, including the Coral Mountain Surf Club, Soho Desert House Palm Springs, and the ultra-luxury Silver Rock resort. A true private fortress anchoring the absolute best square mileage in the Coachella Valley, this iconic legacy property offers an elite lifestyle that simply cannot be replicated.
