Agua Dulce Ribbon Cutting

It was a breezy day at the beautiful setting laid out by developer Mario Gonzalez at his new single family housing development, Agua Dulce. Located just a street west of the Desert Hot Springs Post Office, on Two Bunch Palms Trail, the gated community is just one more feather in the constantly enlarging hat worn by Desert Hot Springs.

Even with the breezy conditions, the local and valley visitors turned out to tour the gorgeous dwellings.

The DHS Chamber of Commerce was on hand as usual, with a bright new ribbon for the new housing project. President Lane Sarasohn and CEO Carole Farm were pleased with the attendance of the Chamber volunteers who braved the wind to be there.

 

Ambassador founder and all-around valley activist, Richard Luke, was so anxious to be in the activities that he crawled through the fence between the office and the houses.

Agua Dulce is a GHA Development and is now selling at the location on Two Bunch Palms Trail. Just follow the many flags.

By providing premium options as standard fare, GHA allows homeowners to upgrade because they want to~ not because they have to. This commitment to excellence has been a major part of their success.
Walking with you every
step of the way…
GHA’s commitment doesn’t stop there. They also provide homebuyers with a detailed owner’s manual and periodic inspections, in addition to a final walk-through. This way, qualified GHA staff members can answer questions throughout the process~ assuring buyers of a complete and thorough understanding of their home investment. From the start of construction, until long after the homebuyer has settled into their new home, GHA remains committed to quality customer service. The local presence of this builder has earned the indelible mark of integrity that discriminating homebuyers have come to depend on in the past, and will continue to depend on in the future.

Hollywood Getaway B-Bar-H Ranch Goes Modern

 
B-bar-H Ranch, a piece of the old West just outside Palm Springs, retains a charm that once drew the biggest movie stars of the day.  In juxtaposition to the old 1920s Spanish style haciendas long in existence there, the company Modern Living Spaces is constructing newly designed modern homes.
 
Celebrities of the 1920’s and 1930’s mingled in Palm Springs and also a short distance out of town at the B-Bar-H Ranch. In the wide open spaces of the desert guests spent time horseback riding, playing tennis, swimming or just relaxing.  Mary Pickford, Bing Crosby, the Marx Brothers Tyrone Power, Lionel Barrymore, Peter Lorre, Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford and Gary Cooper were a few of the guests who frequented the ranch. 
 
The Unique new homes at B-Bar-H offer form and function -- airy rooms that look out over the same ranch land that made the Palm Springs area famous as a destination for the stars. The homes are the vision of developer Mark Bodon, and the team at Modern Living Spaces. Their passion for mid-century style architecture and desert inside-outside living have made it possible for the entry level buyer to own a house with interesting architectural features. The homes’ concepts are based on the styles that have made Palm Springs an “Architectural Disneyland.”
 
Raw materials inside and out — concrete, metal, glass and granite — make up much of the homes’ construction from polished concrete floors to sturdy aluminum fences and views from spacious windows.
 
B-Bar-H Ranch is convenient to city amenities, but still secluded from the traffic and noise of the modern city.  It is an historic trip into the past for those who will settle into a new home at the Ranch. For more information contact Mark Bodon at (760) 408-9426. For sales information phone (760) 799-7676. Model home is located a 67624 El Sombrero Ln, Desert Hot Springs, CA 92241.

Desert Hot Springs gets serious about Dust & Developers!

 

In a city that thinks of itself as developer-friendly, it seems the city has now started to believe some of the developers are taking advantage of that friendship.
 

Now the City has taken a harder stance on those who would violate the ordinance which says construction crews will keep ground sand wetted down and will install fences around all four sides of a site being developed.

Developers not in complience will be “red tagged” with no warning if it is determined they are violating the ordinance.
On the first violation, the complete project can be halted and remain closed until the violation is satisfied with the project complying with the order. Enforcement officers are on duty. This new attitude by the City and City Council has come about due to the outspoken citizens of Desert Hot Springs, who were outraged by the recent sand storms that occurred in mid-November.
John Soulliere, Interim City Manager said the city council asked about the legality of fining first-time offenders.
The answer from staff apparently came back saying that the City could fine repeat offenders as much as $10,000 a day until the offense is brought into compliance.
First offenders would merely be made to correct the problem and bring it into compliance with the ordinance.
Repeat offenders could conceivable be shut down by the City indefinitely and could have their building permit revoked.

West Desert, California-(January 18, 2006)-For home seekers in search of a beautiful new home in a remarkable community at an outstanding price, the wait is nearly over at D.R. Horton's masterplanned Skyborne community in West Desert Hot Springs, where The Village of Aurora is close to opening.
"Skyborne's Information Center will open early this year, and when it does, The Village of Aurora will be one of our first neighborhoods offered for sale," noted Ken Kellermann, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for D.R. Horton's Orange County/Inland Empire Division. "To receive the latest information about opening dates, I recommend that prospective buyers visit www.liveskyborne.com to register for informative updates."
Offering approximately 1,411 to 2,205 square feet and attainably priced from the low $300,000's, Aurora's single-family homes will feature ample style inside and out. Depending upon the floorplan, buyers will enjoy a courtyard, detached casita, covered patio, great room with fireplace, kitchen with island and nook, two to three bedrooms, up to three bathrooms, and an attached two-bay garage.
Aurora is the first of six residential villages behind the gates of Skyborne. Each village will feature its own recreation center, with amenities such as dog parks, artificial putting greens, shaded seating areas, tot lots, swimming pools and spas, varying by village.
When all six villages are open, a grand total of 36 floorplans will meet the needs of a variety of home buyers, including young singles, couples and families dreaming of purchasing their first home, growing families that desire a larger residence, and active adults seeking a brand-new home for entertaining and welcoming relatives.
Skyborne's impressive master plan reveals an array of community amenities, including an elegant clubhouse, pocket parks, 17 miles of pedestrian-friendly trails, and proposed facilities including a public school and public park.
In addition, the community's outstanding location in the West Desert is only a short drive from Inland Empire employment centers, outlet shopping in Cabazon, Indian gaming resorts, and mountain and desert recreational destinations. The Palm Springs International Airport, and shopping and restaurants in Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert are also close by.
Along with Skyborne, The Orange County/Inland Empire Division of D.R. Horton has neighborhoods selling in the cities of Indio, Murrieta, Moreno Valley, San Jacinto, Victorville and Garden Grove.
30 years ago, Donald R. Horton had a Vision of livable and affordable new homes built with unmatched efficiencies and uncompromising quality. Of family traditions passed
on to new generations. Of a business that would grow by making customers' dreams come true.
That philosophy of creating value every step of the way was the Company's signature focus when Horton unveiled his first neighborhood in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area nearly three decades ago. As the Company grew from a local homebuilder to a regional homebuilder, to ultimately the largest homebuilder in the United States, that philosophy has never wavered.
Today, D.R. Horton continues to demonstrate its leadership in residential development through design innovation, superior craftsmanship, and its responsiveness to the needs of its customers.
