3 Echo Lane in Rancho Mirage, California, is currently listed for $3,395,000 by Sotheby’s International Realty - Beverly Hills Brokerage.

This stunning modernist home, part of a nine-residence enclave designed by architect Sean Lockyer, is set in a grove of old-growth olive trees. Inside the dwelling, hardwood and large-format concrete floors pair with Fleetwood doors and windows, creating a striking interaction between home and nature. Native flora edges up to the living areas to further blur indoors and out.

European-style touches in the kitchens and bathrooms include Thermador appliances, Sub-Zero refrigerators, marble countertops, and contemporary lighting. Mountainous panoramas are framed by expansive walls of glass in the spacious living room and primary bedroom, engaging the distant vista.

Modern style and amenities are integrated, from indirect skylights that bathe the walls in natural light to intuitive separations of space. Slumpstone block perimeter walls conjure the Italian countryside, and are complemented by the olives trees, boulders, and outcroppings of natural rock.

With fine dining, tennis, shopping, world-class resort spas, entertainment, and hiking all minutes away, it’s no wonder the elegant Rancho Mirage community has been favored by presidents, philanthropic entrepreneurs, and Hollywood elite alike.
