81735 Baffin Ave, La Quinta, CA, 92253
About This Home
Welcome to 81735 Baffin Ave. in The Madison Club, where the iconic glamour of vintage Palm Springs meets the height of modern luxury. Conceived by Madison's premier developer Gala Asher and interior designer Niki Glass, this 6-bedroom estate is a masterful homage to the desert's stylish past. The design narrative unfolds with terrazzo floors, rich wood-paneled walls, and architectural 50s breeze blocks, all meshed with today's most advanced technology. Sited for absolute privacy, the home captures breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the southern mountain ridges and the Tom Fazio-designed fairway, with no other homes in sight. The outdoor experience is centered around a stunning oval pool, a nod to glamorous days gone by. The home, boasting approximately 9,700 SF under roof (7,000 SF air-conditioned), houses a private cinema, a dedicated office space, two separate guest casitas, and a "grown-up's Coachella" bunk room, perfectly designed for festival weekends and entertaining. While the soul is retro, the function is all today. Disappearing pocket doors merge indoor and outdoor living, and a full suite of cutting-edge home automation, appliances, and sound system sensures effortless comfort. This is the next generation of Madison Club living. Move in May 2026. Seller financing available.
