Description

PRICE REDUCED!! Built in 1949 as the Desert Club of Borrego Springs, the sleek modernist lines of this approximately 7, 000 square foot building embody the dreams that A.A Burnand and a group of developers had for creating an ideal desert community in the heart of the Anza Borrego Desert State park. Situated on the most desirable pieces of real estate in the Borrego Valley and with commanding views of pristine desert and surrounding mountains the club was to be the center of the town' s social and recreational life. At its gala opening on February 17, 1950 film stars of the day, backers and guests from across Southern California gathered in the over 2,000 sq. ft. glass enclosed great room. With sweeping views in all directions, a sunken circular cocktail bar and a cameo shaped swimming pool, 85 feet in length, the design of the Desert Club spoke of the optimism and elegance of post World War II America. In the mid 1960' s the Desert Club was sold. Known locally as the Galleria the building functioned as an art gallery and residence until 2004. This mid-century architectural gem was the premier building in Borrego and has been painstakingly restored to its original conditon

The town of Borrego Springs still retains its peaceful, rural character and is surrounded by the vast Anza Borrego desert state park. The private and secluded nature of this property make it ideal for a personal or corporate retreat.
