About this property

Private Bohemian Desert Hacienda Estate 14-Day Minimum Stay

This gated elegant desert hacienda is truly a "one of a kind" luxury estate. Located on Anza Borrego State Park in Indian Head Ranch. This 5,500 sq. ft. adobe home with additional detached 600 sq. ft. guest casita is a place of peace, natural beauty and simplistic luxury. Astonishing desert views surround you as you relax with friends or family for a rejuvenating respite from the outside world. Also, perfect for a romantic time away for those who seek privacy, luxury and a resort style getaway with room to run. Situated on 30 acres and surrounded by park lands, enjoy the serenity this peaceful retreat. The hacienda's meticulous design gently embraces the harmony of the Sonoran Desert lifestyle.

The gated Estate borders Anza Borrego Desert State Park at the lower portion of Coyote Canyon and is situated on the original 1775 route of Juan Bautista de Anza between Sonora Mexico and his final destination, San Francisco.

The Desert Hacienda was constructed in 1992 and designed by architect Richard Grenfell for Dennis Avery, heir to the Avery Dennison Corporation. Dennis Avery was a philanthropist and responsible for many charitable projects in Borrego Springs, including the land purchase for and the commissioning of over 130 large metal sculptures throughout the Borrego Springs area.

The estate has been featured in many publications including Dwell Magazine, San Diego Home & Garden, Rue Magazine, San Diego Magazine and featured on the retailer Anthropologie website and Catalog 2020 and 2021 Spring/Summer.

The Hacienda has also been a temporary home to A-List Celebrities during feature film shoots in the area.

SERENITY CLAUSE: The Hacienda is not suitable for over eight (6) guests at anytime during your stay, exceptions by owner approval only. We cannot accommodate events, parties, etc. which can effect the neighbors right to peaceful enjoyment. Music and general noise must be kept to a level that cannot be heard by area residents. Sound travels extremely far in a quiet desert environment. By requesting a booking, you agree to be respectful of these terms.

Desert bliss

Incredible property, incredibly easy check in process. It was so nice just sitting by the pool and enjoying the views. Even though it was over 100 degrees, there is ample shade on the property, A/C, and a pool. I barely noticed the blistering heat. 10/10 would recommend

Amazing Getaway!

This place was more beautiful in person. We happen to arrive at night, which I don’t recommend bc it is completely dark. Thank goodness for the house manager who was so helpful when I called him to say we were lost. It was a very windy weekend so the internet was not really working. However, the host was very apologetic and offered us a discount on our next stay! The trampoline was fun and the kitchen was unbelievable stocked ! It has everything you need! We will definitely be back.

If you are looking for high end privacy, this is the place in Borrego Springs!

Property was better then the pictures. Kitchen was the most fully loaded kitchen I have been in, and have stayed at over 20 vrbos. Just bring your food. Although, had excellent dinner at Casa Del Zorro. Very easy to work with owners and responded quickly to any issues. A couple of bikes at property for some peaceful riding in area. Property is remote, but we liked the privacy.

BEAUTIFUL PLACE!

My business team had an amazing time as this property. The place was more beautiful in person. The hosts/owners were exceptionally responsive, clear and accommodating throughout the booking process (especially since we had to change our booking dates a couple of times). They were thoughtful and gracious as well. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Dean and Melissa for creating such a lovely stay!

Beautiful getaway in the dessert

The hacienda is even better than the pictures. The house has a great layout with two wings and a separate casita with bedrooms. We spent the days by the pool, hiking along the property, and watching the stars. Thank you to the responsive hosts!

Loved it!

What an amazing and peaceful place. The house is gorgeous, beds are comfy, (slept 8 adults easily), kitchen is fully stocked, pool is beautiful, and the surrounding land is tranquil. The teepee is super unique and we loved looking for the "house tortoise" every morning. Definitely will stay here again. Thank you Dean!

Quiet Idyllic Hideaway

If you want to get away for some peace and quiet, while relaxing poolside, this is the place to visit. Dean’s property offers stunning views of the valley, Southwestern style adobe architecture and fabulous five-star amenities. I would definitely want to stay here again.

Magazine Life

Everywhere you look it feels like you’re in a magazine. It’s gorgeous. Beds were comfortable with nice sheets and good pillows. They stock with good TP (I hate paying a lot of money for a place with 1-ply). They have every kitchen appliance in the world. The only thing missing from the house is an ice-maker. Had a hiccup once we arrived and the owner was very gracious. He made sure he did everything possible to remedy the situation for us. I was very happy with the home a would Highly recommend it.

An Amazing Property in an Amazing Place!

This home is an incredible place for a secluded desert escape. It was just my wife and I, but the house will easily accommodate 8 adults. The adobe construction and rustic finishes are perfect for the home’s setting, and the authentic tipi is a very cool touch. The backyard pool area was where we spent most of the time, and it was well maintained and sparkling clean. We are already looking for the next time we can come back!

Wonderful Stay

Had an amazing stay with some close friends. We really enjoyed the property and had a great time. It was very hot outside, but the pool was fantastic and the BBQ and kitchen were great if you enjoy cooking. The host was very responsive and very nice. We can't wait to book this house again.

The perfect weekend

This place was nothing short of amazing. The photos don’t do this home justice. The home was spacious and beautiful, and the pool, teepee, trampoline, and axe throwing area provided our party with lots to do. We also got to feed Major, the tortoise on the property! The only minor drawback would be the number of bees in the pool, as a friend was stung. However, I understand you cannot always predict wildlife out in the desert. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to getaway and relax in a fabulous home. Already planning when I can return!

The best VRBO I've ever stayed in.

I've stayed in vacation rentals around the world; US/Europe/Africa/Australia/Asia/NZ - for what you get this place was simply the best. Incredibly quiet, incredibly stylish, insane views, incredibly comfortable, and very well appointed. J Dean and Melissa were incredible hosts and made sure to check in frequently to ensure we had all we needed.
