Cool Ridge

Cool Ridge: California

This fabulous home in the popular Twin Palms neighbourhood is a recently remodelled mid-century classic with a contemporary twist. Encircled by palm trees and with magnificent views of the mountains, the outdoor space is dominated by a pristine pool and integrated jacuzzi, with plenty of sunloungers to drip dry on.

Inside, the white walls are adorned with funky art, while pops of bright oranges and cool blues add colour. In the open-plan living space, floor-to-ceiling windows blur the distinction between the indoors and outdoors, and a stone fireplace gives the comfy seating area a focal point. Mix together a few cocktails at the living room bar and whip up dinners in the smart modern kitchen.

If some of your party feel like a little more independence, there's a separate casita providing a large guest suite – and with direct access to the pool, they're bound to be the first ones in each morning. Spend your days on the hiking trails or head to the nearby Indian Canyons Golf Resort, just a five-minute drive away.
