Set behind the guarded gates of Renaissance on Clancy Lane, this newly constructed architectural estate represents a rare convergence of vision, craftsmanship, and scale in Rancho Mirage's most prestigious enclave. Positioned on over an acre with a coveted south-facing orientation and sweeping mountain views, the residence delivers a level of design and execution typically reserved for global trophy properties.
Every line of the home reflects intentional artistry. A dramatic patina steel entry door opens to hand-laid stone walls, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions through expansive pocket doors. Natural materials, warm textures, and precision detailing create an atmosphere that is both powerful and serene.
Designed by architect Ben Hertz with interiors curated by Cordelia Reynolds, the estate offers approximately 8,200 square feet of interior living space and over 14,000 square feet under roof, thoughtfully composed for both grand entertaining and refined daily living. The primary kitchen is a statement, anchored by dual oversized islands, premium appliances, and custom cabinetry, supported by a full secondary kitchen and butler's pantry with spice closet. A temperature-controlled wine room adds to the home's curated sophistication.
The primary suite functions as a private retreat, featuring a spa caliber bath with soaking tub overlooking a tranquil Zen garden, an oversized shower & direct access to a private outdoor spa and shower. Custom closets with integrated LED lighting are found throughout the residence.
A state-of-the-art theater room delivers a true cinematic experience with a 185-inch Sony Bravia screen, luxury recliners, and full soundproofing. Architectural fireplaces are integrated throughout the residence, providing warmth, balance, and a quiet sense of permanence.
Outdoors, the estate unfolds as a private resort. A massive L-shaped pool anchors the grounds, complemented by expansive covered patios and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring an EVO and built-in barbecue. A separate outdoor game room with dedicated pool bath enhances the resort-style experience, ideal for entertaining without entering the main residence. Two two-car garages plus an approximately 450-square-foot carport complete this home.
Scheduled for completion in spring 2026, this is a residence created for a buyer who values architecture, privacy & distinction. Homes of this caliber are not compared. They are claimed.
