71428 Biskra Road, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270

The Magnesia Falls Cove neighborhood of Rancho Mirage is a treasure trove for Mid-Century Modern enthusiasts, with gems still being discovered and brought to their past glory. In 2021, a renowned historical preservationist and developer from San Francisco bought 74128 Biskra Road with the goal to re-imagine the ultimate mid-century desert lifestyle. This home has been completely upgraded, from plumbing to electrical, new LED lighting, high efficiency mechanicals, new landscaping, hardscaping, fixtures, flooring, cabinets, glazing and appliances. The silhouette is unmistakably 1961. Flat roof, broad eaves, a sculptural plane of breeze block that stands before the entry like a semaphore declaring its history. Blending with those historical traits are modern elements of luxury: a broad pivot door entry, warm hardwood floors in the bedrooms, Italian cabinetry throughout. The views from the home are extraordinary: northward are jetliner views to the Chocolate Mountains; to the south, the Santa Rosa foothills tower over the home. 74128 Biskra Road sits upon one of the highest streets in the Cove. At the very top, is the newly opened ultra luxury Sensei Resort, owned by Larry Ellison. There is no HOA, and Rancho Mirage’s best shopping and dining is steps away at the foot of the hill.
