Property Description
A true collector's item in the world of desert modernism, 73271 Buckboard Trail--known as the Paulette Herbert Johnson House--is a 1958 mid-century masterpiece by celebrated architect Walter S. White. Rarely does a home of this significance come to market--an exquisitely maintained and restored example of Palm Desert's architectural history, blending timeless design with resort-style living.Step through a pebble-stone entry into an open, light-filled floor plan where floor-to-ceiling glass walls, terrazzo floors, original wood paneling, and signature masonry walls create a seamless indoor/outdoor flow surrounding the living and dining areas. The custom wood panel kitchen cabinetry pays homage to its mid-century roots, while two beautifully appointed bedrooms feature cork-lined closets and bathrooms with authentic period tile and lighting. Natural light pours through every corner, framing breathtaking views of the surrounding gardens, mountains and desert skyline.The grounds are a modernist playground: a Parker-style pebble bottom pool and spa, outdoor kitchen with barbecue and pizza oven, bocce court, putting green, lounge gazebo, firepits galore, and room for an ADU--all set against panoramic desert vistas. A spacious two-car garage plus additional parking for up to six vehicles completes the estate.Located in the historic Silver Spur Ranch enclave, this home is just minutes from El Paseo's dining and shopping, the Living Desert Zoo, and Palm Desert's country clubs. More than a residence, it is an architectural icon--the Paulette Herbert Johnson House by Walter S. White--restored to its full glory and offered as a rare opportunity to own a celebrated piece of California modernism.
