Our beautifully two bedroom, two bath desert retreat is only steps away from the 8th fairway of Monterey Country Club. As soon as you step onto the lush garden walkway entrance, you'll realize this is not your typical white-washed desert unit. The centerpiece of the 1341 square foot property is a unique amber stone fountain, nestled inside our rainforest-like atrium. The luxurious living room boasts a flat screen TV complete with cable, HBO/Showtime and streaming options. A cast stone gas fireplace will keep you warm on those chilly winter nights (yes, it gets chilly in the desert).

The comfortably decorated master bedroom features a California king bed, while the master bath contains a beautifully tiled raised bathtub, bathed in light from the overhead skylight. The second bedroom has two extra-long twin beds for easy guest accommodations and comes complete with a built in desk and entertainment unit. The second bath has a walk in shower and is also illuminated by overhead skylights. There is crown moulding throughout, along with a built-in sound system that independently adjusts from room to room -- even the patio -- via your smartphone, tablet or computer. Plantation shutters screen the west-facing windows throughout the unit. Includes a bar and wine fridge.

The bright and airy kitchen has a Fridgidaire refrigerator, gas stove, oven, dishwasher and all small appliances and accessories. The patio has a Weber grill for barbecues and overlooks the west course, with breathtaking southwest views of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains. There are 36 community pools, two of which are about 50 yards from the condo.

The centerpiece of this property is the atrium fountain, assessable by French doors in the living room and master bedroom. Day or night, the peaceful sound of streaming water fills the air and creates a relaxing spa like atmosphere. The atrium doors can stay open anytime without fear of bugs due to a protective screen along the roofline. It adds a truly magical touch to this spectacular property.
