About Indian Wells' The Reserve

Straddling two of the Coachella Valley's nicest cities—Indian Wells and Palm Desert—and tucked up against the Santa Rosa Mountains, The Reserve is one of the most exclusive clubs in the Palm Springs valley and rarely offers bank-owned homes. Here's a rare Indian Wells foreclosure to jump on in this high-end but low-key country club.

Boasting a southfacing view of incredible lake and mountain vistas, this Reserve Bungalow features an airy, open floorplan with walls of glass, clerestory windows, travertine flooring, sumptuous gourmet kitchen, and wonderful built-ins.

The master suite boasts its own formidable fireplace flanked by custom cabinetry. The travertine-clad master bath has dual shower heads.

If you relish the beauty of our desert wilderness, the home's orientation directly over a serene lake offers upclose vistas of desert flora and fauna.

There's a separate guest casita off the front courtyard for pampered guests and a huge covered patio with stacked-stone fireplace to fully enjoy the vaunted Palm Springs indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

The 2498 sq ft home offers 3B/4b on a 10,454 sq ft lot. The Bungalows are accorded access to their own private pool and spa at the adjacent clubhouse.

The owners paid $1.5M for this home just four years ago. It is now bank-owned and offered at $980,500 ($392/sf).

The Clubhouse—channeling a Tuscan villa—presides over the Reserve Club Village, four distinct venues comprising the social heart of the club.

The Health & Fitness Center has recently been expanded and offers the finest sports facilities in the Valley, including classes in Pilates, yoga and dance. Two clay courts and one hard-court surface accommodate tennis players while the Jr Olympic-length pool hosts water aerobics and Kids Club. Hikes, lectures, walking clubs and a Fitness for Golf are a few of the thoughtful offerings of this special club.

There is nothing better than being a part of a community that sits right next to an 18-hole championship golf course, which is precisely what you get with the Reserve in Indian Wells. The community located in Indian Wells California and was designed and built in 1999 and is loaded with activities, amenities, and breathtaking views.

Just feet away from the Reserve in Indian Wells rests the gorgeous Santa Rosa Mountains. As you step into the community, you will immediately notice the privacy, luxury, and serene environment that is all indicative of the desert lifestyle. While there are plenty of features to boast about, the obvious place to start is the spectacular golf.

The club features 21 holes of golf that were designed by an elite design team with a reputable image, Weiskopf and Moorish. There is no better place to tee up, enjoy the spectacular weather and the serene mountain scenery.

From there, you will find a plethora of different activities to partake in from tennis to swimming an immaculate fitness center that has been noted to be one of the best in the valley. If that were not enough, there is a Tuscan-style clubhouse that features dining both indoors and out.

While all of this is fine and dandy, it is the housing and real estate within the Reserve in Indian Wells that truly puts it over the top. You have the option of purchasing a new home or a re-sell from a current owner with prices starting around $2 million. And considering the amenities, the golf course and the mountain scenery, this is a small price to pay for luxury.

Within the community rests 250 homes that all delivery a sense of luxury, serenity and a home that can be made yours. Regardless of whether you are building from scratch or buying an existing home, the opportunity to customize is certainly there. Just know that lots are going fast because of the quiet desert lifestyle located in a prime location near El Paseo.

Homes can be found anywhere between $1.5 million and $9 million depending on the size, design and everything you are looking to have included. If you are looking for custom lots, expect to pay between $800,000 and $2 million.

Square footage varies greatly, hence the vast price discrepancy. You will be able to find anything from 2,500 to 5,000 square feet within the community of the Reserve. But no matter what the size is, what the price is, or where the lot is located, you are guaranteed to find the home of your dreams.

The Reserve, one of the most exclusive clubs in the valley, combines rich amenities with low-key warmth. Adjacent to the renowned zoological gardens of The Living Desert, The Reserve, like its neighbor, straddles two cities—Palm Desert and Indian Wells. The Santa Rosa Mountains embrace the private-membership community whose homes overlook the undulating Tom Weiskopf-Jay Morrish championship golf course (which includes three practice holes), lakes and water features, or mountain terrain.

The Clubhouse—channeling a Tuscan villa—presides over the Reserve Club Village, four distinct venues comprising the social heart of the club.

The Health & Fitness Center has recently been expanded and offers the finest sports facilities in the Valley, including classes in Pilates, yoga and dance. Two clay courts and one hard-court surface accommodate tennis players while the Jr Olympic-length pool hosts water aerobics and Kids Club. Hikes, lectures, walking clubs and a Fitness for Golf are a few of the thoughtful offerings of this special club.

The Lake House—situated off the 9th hole and overlooking a serene lake—offers dining a la the Lakehouse Grill.

Homes are divided into three categories: Bungalows—an enclave of 3-bedroom homes close to the Clubhouse with floorplans ranging from 2,559 to over 3,000 square feet (Some feature private pools but all have access to a reserved pool/spa); Casita Homes—3-and 4-bedroom zero-lot homes ranging from 3,150 to 3,750 square feet; and Custom Homes, luxury homes by master builders on custom view lots ranging from 3,000 to over 10,000 square feet.
