Imagine yourself unwinding in our desert sanctuary while enjoying the spectacular sunset after a perfect day of golf. After dinner, perhaps prepared on the back-yard grill or in our gourmet kitchen, you may find yourself stargazing the desert night sky from a soothing Jacuzzi just steps from the master suite.

If you prefer dining out, you are minutes away from both affordable and world class upscale dining. Our desert oasis is within a 10-mile radius of 120 world-class golf courses. Tennis courts, full service day spas, theaters, movies, and shopping are minutes away.

If you prefer to stay in your bathrobe and slippers, you can watch a movie in our dedicated home theater room with 120-inch screen and surround sound system. As night falls, you'll rest peacefully in a spacious master suite with king-size bed, fireplace and adjoining master bath with "couples shower" and jetted tub.

With the start of your new day, you may choose to work out by playing tennis at nearby Whitewater Park or breath the fresh morning air while hiking the nearby mountain trail. You may fill your days from a menu of outdoor activities or choose to relax at home by the pool. Our home is yours year around!

This is our personal second home. Unlike many other homes that are one of ten listings for an investor, we have cared for it and maintained it with great attention to detail.

Our home is approximately 3800sf (350 square meter) and has a total of 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. It is all on a single level and is handicap accessible. It can comfortably sleep 8 adults. Every bedroom has a private full bathroom.

If you are familiar with the area, this home is located adjacent to the most prestigious and exclusive address in the desert...Clancy Lane. It is also walking distance from The River Entertainment complex with outdoor restaurants, shopping and theater.

There is one week minimum rental on this property.

Year Purchased: 2002

Why the Owner Chose Ivy League Estates

I was in an orthopedic practice in Rancho Mirage, CA between 2002 and 2007. This home was our primary residence during that time. We moved back to Salt Lake City, UT after our children were born, to be closer to our family. We chose to keep this property as a second home with complete furnishings.

The Unique Benefits at this House

The accomodations at our home, in terms of furnishings, space and privacy cannot me matched by any hotel, at any price in the desert. Our kitchen is fully stocked with all appliances, pots and pans, spices, etc. All you need is fresh ingredients to make wonderful home cooked meals. Our back yard is very private with covered sitting area and a great pool with a hot tub.

A
River Entertainment Complex

Wonderful restaurants, movie theater, shopping, Sat evening outdoor concerts. All withing 15 min walking distance to our home

B
El Paseo Shopping and Dining

El Paseo is perhaps Desert's most prestigious shopping and entertainment address. Here you will find high end shopping, upscale dining and a great place to people watch.

C
Shadow Ridge Golf Resort

Beautiful Faldo design golf course. One of my favorites.

D
Desert Willow Golf Resort

The Firecliff course is one of the most beautiful and challenging courses you can play anywhere in the world

E
White Water Park

Public Free Tennis courts. There is always an open court here. I have never waited for tennis at these courts.

F
Eisenhower Medical Center

Hope you never need medical care, but if you do, the best hospital along with the best medical staff is only two minutes away. I know...I practiced here.

Owner's Map of Ivy League Estates

I am an orthopedic surgeon who currently practices in Salt Lake City, UT. My wife Emily is a physician assistant, who practices part time and is currently spending majority of her time taking caring of our beautiful twins, Jack and Isabel. This is our 2nd home which we hope we can share with families and guests across the globe.

We enjoyed 9 superb days at this beautiful home. The house was immaculate with all the amenities of a 5 star hotel....except with loads of space and privacy. Great location and loved the pool. Very helpful welcoming hosts. Will definitely be back here.

Wonderful Vacation

Guest: Diane S.
Date of Stay: 08/20/11 Review Submitted: 08/30/11

My husband and I returned for our second stay at this beautiful house and we plan on returning. The owner was easy to contact and quick to respond to all of our questions. The location is perfect. Close to wonderful restaurants and shopping and I just can't say enough about the beautiful views of the mountains from the Pool and Patio. I miss having my morning coffee sitting poolside and watching the sun rise.

Excellet Family Vacation and Girls Getaway

Guest: Colleen (Tacoma, Washington)
Date of Stay: 04/01/11 Review Submitted: 04/17/11

I rented this property to celebrate my 50th birthday with family for the first 1/2 of the week and girlfriends the second 1/2. A great time was had by all. Armen was very easy to work with and very responsive to my questions. He also provided excellent customer service as well. We needed some extra pool cleaning after a wind storm so he contacted the gentleman who cleans the pool and it was taken care of that afternoon. We enjoyed most of our time sitting out by the pool, relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. We also enjoyed playing golf, shopping in nearby El Paseo and the River Complex and going out to lunch at many of the nearby restaurants. We had a lot of fun at the weekend College of the Desert Street Fair. The house was clean and a great size for our group of 8. We enjoyed the movie room as well. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the master bathroom was amazing. I would highly recommend this property.

Outstanding for winter golf getaway!

Guest: GQ (Alpine, UT)
Date of Stay: 03/03/10 Review Submitted: 03/22/11

I had the opportunity to stay in this beautiful home for a golf outing earlier this year. The location is perfect as it is near amazing golf courses and quality restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and charming. The home itself is beautiful, spacious and clean inside and out. All in all it was the perfect winter golf getaway and a marvelous experience.

Fantastic home in a lovely location

Guest: Peter John (Essex, UK)
Date of Stay: 07/22/10 Review Submitted: 08/14/10

We are a family from the UK of 2 adults and 4 children aged 17, 16, 13 and 10. We all love the house because of the brilliant pool, home cinema room, lovely bedrooms, spacious living accommodation and quiet location. The location is great as the weather is guaranteed to be hot and sunny during July and August. We have been to this property for 2 years now and would love to return again. We were able to visit different parts of California using the house as our base, such as San Diego (2 1/2 hours), San Francisco and Yosemite ( 8 1/2 hours) and the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. We would highly recommend this for a relaxing getaway.

Our stay was short only three nights but thoroughly enjoyed everything the house had to offer. Spacious layout including the Master Bedroom on one side of the house and the other bedrooms on the opposite side. We were 8 adults and 3 children this worked out very well. Also, enjoyed the movie viewing room as well as the pool. We recommend this house to any type or size of family and would stay here again. Armen was very professional and easy to work with.

Wonderful Stay

Guest: Lindley (Orange County, CA)
Date of Stay: 06/20/10 Review Submitted: 07/08/10

We stayed here with seven adults and two toddlers. It was a wonderful visit. The house is large and well-furnished and the kitchen is perfect for cooking for large groups. The pool was nice and we enjoyed the evenings unders the patio. Would highly recommend for a quiet desert vacation!

Exceeded our expectations!

Guest: Canadian Doc (Ottawa, Ontario)
Date of Stay: 01/24/10 Review Submitted: 06/24/10

Our first impression of this house was "Wow!" and the rest of the stay was even better. The house has an excellent location...within walking distance to the River Shopping Center, where we ate at many wonderful restaurants, watched free Sat evening concert and had a great spa day. The house itself is well appointed, but does not have excess junk. The kitchen has everything you would need to make any meal you can dream-up. The back yard was wonderfully relaxing, where the kids swam all day and we relaxed under the covered patio. Agree with the other reviewers, that Armen was just a delight to work with. Will be back for sure next year!

Absolutely beautiful home, great area and equipped with everything you could ever want. Armen was wonderful to work with and I would not hesitate to book again. I've rented several homes and I would say this one is right up there with the best of them!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The perfect layout with all the amenities one could think of. Nothing better than laying in the jacuzzi after a long day and then watching a movie on the 120 inch screen! Armen was very generous and made the whole booking experience very seamless. I look forward to renting from him again.
