Experience an exceptional piece of Palm Springs architectural history at Sagewood, designed by celebrated Desert Modernist architect Donald A. Wexler and now officially designated a Historic District by the City of Palm Springs. This beautifully updated three-bedroom, two-bath residence showcases Wexler's signature clean lines, deep sun-shading overhangs, and seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The historic designation may also provide an opportunity for potential property tax savings through the Mills Act, subject to eligibility and City approval. Offered furnished, the light-filled interior features hard-surface flooring throughout, an open kitchen, spacious living areas, and two private patios with lush landscaping and a tranquil water feature. Both bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled with low-maintenance Calcutta Marble-look acrylic showers, Moen fixtures, and glass enclosures--an investment of over $30,000. The third bedroom is currently enjoyed as a den and is equally suited as a home office or guest space. Expansive greenbelts, dramatic mountain views, three community pools and spas, and tennis courts complete Sagewood's serene desert setting. HOA dues include water, internet, cable TV with Paramount+ and Disney, plus roof and exterior building maintenance, excluding windows. A distinctive opportunity to enjoy the architectural legacy of Donald Wexler and the relaxed sophistication of life at historic Sagewood.

Rogers Ranch, located between South Palm Canyon Drive and the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, is a residential and equestrian Palm Springs neighborhood with large-lot ranch homes and desert trail access. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the South Palm Canyon Drive corridor near the Smoke Tree Village area, where patios, galleries, and low-slung storefronts set a relaxed, design-minded tone. Architecture leans mid-century and ranch, with wide setbacks, mature landscaping, and mountain sightlines. Daily rhythms orbit hiking and cycling routes that start at nearby trailheads and wash paths. Koffi Palm Springs anchors the coffee scene, while Moorten Botanical Garden & Cactarium adds a classic desert-culture stop. The Ace Hotel & Swim Club brings a modern resort note without changing the quiet street feel.
