Host Information


Welcome to your own private wellness retreat, the Stout Residence (c. 1969, architect J. Edward Esmay), as featured in Dwell. The pinnacle of mid-century modern style, comfort and charm, this historic post-and-beam home with echoes of Joseph Eichler’s best work merges form with function by seamlessly integrating indoor-outdoor living with multiple patios, a luxurious 50-foot pool, outdoor shower and barbecue and floor-to-ceiling glass revealing spectacular mountain views from each room. Set on a thoughtfully landscaped and private half-acre lot featuring lemon, orange and grapefruit trees, the spacious 4 bedrooms, 2.75 baths layout features terrazzo floors throughout, original teak and mustard metal kitchen cabinetry with top-of-the-line modern appliances, clerestory windows, custom built-in cabinetry and closets in each bedroom. 1 Gigabit Internet and two separate home offices also make the property ideal for WFH. In the winter months, pool heating is available for additional fee.
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque desert art colony of Borrego Springs, the home is located in California’s first International Dark Sky Community and adjacent to California’s largest state park (the Anza-Borrego Desert). Enjoy hiking, biking, golf (next door at the de Anza County Club and nearby at the acclaimed Ram’s Hill Club), tennis or pickleball (The Courts at Anza-Borrego), watch wildlife (jack rabbits, roadrunners and bighorn sheep), sunrises and sunsets from the front and backyards/patios or just lay back in the pool and gaze at the milky way swirling overhead. This is the place.
