Welcome to Iconic Da Vaal Estates, often referred to as the original Desert-X! This Midcentury Modern architectural masterpiece is located in the highly sought after Tamarisk Country Club area of Rancho Mirage. The property was designed in 1960 by renowned architect Val Powelson & built by contractor, Robert Marx, son of Gummo Marx. These 20 units were originally built for the Hollywood friends of the Marx brothers to come out to the desert to play golf next door at Tamarisk Country Club. Current owners have re-discovered & fallen in love with the beautiful mid-century design aesthetic of a bygone era. Consisting of five, one-level, 4-unit dwelling groupings based on a four-pointed star with no common walls. The only point at which these units are attached is at the center of the ''X'' where each unit has a large storage area originally designed to store your golf cart. The space now houses your laundry, HVAC and water heater. The open living plan spans approximately 32ft & features a vaulted tongue and groove ceiling that soars to 14ft! At one end of the triangular floor-plan is a very generous Primary Suite & at the other a guest bedroom & bathroom suite. There are walls of glass and clerestory windows that fill the space with an abundance of natural light. Once a grapefruit orchard, Da Vaal Estates retains original fruit trees on a 2 1/2 acre site with astounding views! The property is listed on the Rancho Mirage Register of Historic Properties which allows you a very low annual property tax base. Taxes are included in the monthly HOA fee. Da Vaal Estates is a Stock Cooperative. Each owner is issued a ''stock certificate'' granting a 1/20th share of the complex with exclusive use of a specific unit.
