The 2005 house on Via Pontito sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a 13,000-square-foot lot, looking south across the Clive Clark golf course to the Santa Rosa Mountains. Its September 15 closing was one of five recorded across the Riverside, California metro area between September 14 and September 16, a group that combined for $16.91 million.
Rancho Mirage accounts for two of the week’s addresses, and La Quinta, Canyon Lake and South Corona supply the others. The five run from a 1989 house in Morningside Country to a newly built estate behind the gates of Bravo7, and they include an eight-bedroom waterfront property with a private dock on Canyon Lake.

A great room runs under beamed ceilings to a stacked-stone fireplace and a built-in surround-sound system, and oversized sliding glass doors open the plan to the yard. The kitchen is fitted with Wolf appliances, double ovens with a warming drawer, two dishwashers and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, with a separate wet bar and seating alongside.

A gallery-sized great room with a linear fireplace opens to the kitchen, the backyard and the pool and spa, and the bedrooms are all en suite; the primary suite adds walk-in closets with built-in Italian cabinetry and illuminated bath mirrors.
The oversized pool has two tiled Baja shelves and a step-down bar area with a fire pit. Fleetwood doors and windows, Miele appliances including built-in coffee stations, smart-home lighting and communications systems, solar power and three-car garages with epoxy flooring complete the house. The setting takes in panoramic mountain views, with sunsets beyond Mount San Jacinto, and the enclave sits within reach of the Ritz-Carlton Resort & Spa, Sunnylands, Palm Springs International Airport, and area shopping and dining.
