Desert mansion with pools and a shark tank asks north of $90m

A sprawling mansion with three swimming pools and a shark tank has hit the market in an exclusive desert region of California.

The seven bedroom, 12 bathroom estate in the iconic Coachella Valley, in the Palm Desert, is selling with a breathtaking asking price of US$59 million ($90 million).

Designed by contemporary architect Guy Dreier and constructed on a summit hilltop, the home’s sculptural aesthetic focuses on indoor outdoor living.

“Mirroring the natural terrain, the home features overlapping planes of copper and titanium.  Curvilinear walls form asymmetrical pavilions, incorporating all sun exposures for the ultimate in outdoor living,” the listing reads.

It also boasts panels of retractable glass walls and an open-air glass elevator. 

The home’s luxury design continues indoors.

The living room features a titanium-clad fireplace, wood ceilings, custom furnishings, sit-down bar and unobstructed views of Bighorn and the Santa Rosa Mountains.

The master suite embraces the panoramic mountain views, has access to an outdoor lounge area, private outdoor spa and fireplace. 

The high-end finishes don’t end there – golden Onyx slabs are back-lit and book-matched throughout the bedroom and bath areas. 

The bedroom also has separate boutique-style closets, vanities, an office, exercise room, bath, shower and direct access to a private pool. 

The home also boasts many unique features. 

Access to the dining room is through an aquarium walkway, complete with titanium flooring, three tanks of exotic fish and rare sharks. 

A private office has been built high into the hilltop and sits on a plateau with unobstructed views.

House guests experience similar luxury with four bedroom suites, a kitchen, living room and direct access to the three pools and a sports court.

Len Evans, a real estate developer, is selling the home through Bighorn Properties.

Evans set a record for the Coachella Valley in 2022 when he bought the property for about US$42 million ($66 million).
