A Spacious Desert Hot Springs Home with Mountain Views, Solar, Bonus Space & Room to Breathe

by Lisa Angell

Looking for Space, Views, and Value in Desert Hot Springs?

If you have been looking around the Palm Springs area and wondering where you can still find a home with generous square footage, mountain views, a larger lot, solar, and some real flexibility, 13707 Calle Amapola in Desert Hot Springs is one to put on your radar.

This home has that “bring your ideas and make it shine” energy, but in the best way. It is clean, spacious, functional, and already has several features buyers often ask about: a corner lot, mountain views, solar panels, a split floor plan, a large kitchen, a bonus room with its own exterior access, and a lot size of approximately 0.3 acres.

In other words, it is not trying to be the shiny, overly staged model home. It is more of a “look at the bones, look at the lot, look at the space, and imagine what a little paint and elbow grease could do” kind of home. And honestly, those can be some of the most interesting opportunities in our desert market.

The Corner Lot Makes a Difference

One of the first things you notice is the location on a corner. That gives the property a more open feel and creates some useful side-yard possibilities.

The home has a large gated side area that could potentially work well for RV-style parking, additional outdoor storage, or other uses, depending on buyer needs and any applicable city, zoning, HOA, utility, or permit requirements.

The lot itself is approximately 0.3 acres, which is a great size for buyers who want more usable outdoor space without feeling boxed in.

And then there are the views.

From the front, side, kitchen window, and backyard, you get beautiful mountain views that remind you exactly why people love desert living. Desert skies, mountain backdrops, and a little extra elbow room? Not a bad combination.


Solar Panels Are Already in Place

The home also has solar panels installed, which is a meaningful feature in the desert, especially for buyers who are thinking about long-term monthly costs.

Of course, buyers will want to review the solar agreement, ownership/lease status, payment terms if applicable, production history, and transfer requirements during their due diligence period. But having solar already in place can be a major conversation starter, especially in a sunny climate like Desert Hot Springs.

Because if there is one thing we are not short on out here, it is sunshine. We are basically professionally supplied.


Spacious Great Room with High Ceilings

Inside, the home opens into a large living area with high ceilings and a fireplace.

The floor plan has the generous “great room” style that many homes from this era are known for. There is plenty of room for seating, entertaining, relaxing, or creating multiple zones within the main living space.

There is also a flexible area that could be used as a dining space, conversation area, music area, reading nook, or however the next owner wants the home to function.

This is one of those homes where the square footage feels useful. Not just “technically large on paper,” but actually livable.


Big Kitchen with Breakfast Bar, Island & Mountain Views

The kitchen is another strong feature.

You have:

  • A large kitchen layout
  • Breakfast bar seating
  • A center island
  • Gas cooktop
  • Eat-in kitchen area
  • Pantry space
  • Mountain views from the kitchen window

The kitchen may not be brand new, but it has size, function, and a layout that gives the next owner room to work with.

For some buyers, that is even better than paying a premium for someone else’s renovation choices. You can move in and enjoy it as-is, or gradually update it over time in your own style.


Split Floor Plan with True Bedrooms

The home features a split floor plan, with the primary suite on one side and the secondary bedrooms and bonus space on the other.

That layout is popular because it creates separation and flexibility. It can work well for guests, home office needs, hobbies, multigenerational living arrangements, or simply giving everyone a little breathing room.

The secondary bedrooms are good-sized, true bedrooms with closets. That sounds basic, but as anyone who has toured enough homes knows, not every “bedroom” lives like an actual bedroom.

There is also a full secondary bathroom with dual sinks, a shower/tub combo, cabinet storage, and natural light.


Bonus Room with Separate Exterior Access

One of the standout features is the large bonus room.

This space is big, has high ceilings, ceiling fans, and its own exterior door. That separate access adds flexibility, depending on how someone wants to use the home.

Possible uses could include:

  • Home office
  • Hobby room
  • Fitness space
  • Media room
  • Guest overflow area
  • Creative studio
  • Additional lounge or game room

As always, buyers should verify permitted use, square footage, and any rental or occupancy rules that may apply if they are thinking beyond personal use. But as a flexible living space, this room gives the home a lot of extra utility.


Primary Suite with Backyard Access

The primary suite is located on the opposite side of the home and offers generous space, ceiling fans, a media niche, direct access to the backyard, and a surprisingly large closet.

The primary bathroom has a spacious layout and gives buyers the option to enjoy it as-is or update it over time.

This is really the theme of the home: clean, usable, spacious, and ready for someone to personalize.


Storage, Laundry Room & Garage

Storage is another thing this home does well.

There are multiple closets, a pantry, a laundry room with cabinets, and a laundry sink. And let me just say, a proper laundry room sink is one of those small things that feels luxurious in everyday life. It is not glamorous, but neither is rinsing out muddy dog paws in a powder room sink. Ask me how I know.

The home also has a two-car garage with access to the side yard area and solar equipment.


Backyard with Mountain Views and Room to Imagine

The backyard is where the lot size and setting really show up.

You have:

  • Mountain views
  • Fruit trees
  • A storage shed
  • Large side-yard space
  • Room to reimagine the outdoor areas
  • Approximately 0.3 acres overall

The backyard could be refreshed and enjoyed in its current form, or someone could create a more polished desert outdoor living space over time.

This is the kind of property where you can see the potential without needing a full imagination workout. A little cleanup, some paint, landscaping, outdoor seating, maybe lighting, and suddenly it feels like a whole new space.


Why the Pricing Matters

This home is priced with its condition, timing, and market position in mind.

It is clean and very livable, but it does have areas where a future owner may want to paint, refresh, or update. That is part of why it may offer a stronger value opportunity compared with homes that have already been fully updated.

It is also coming on during the summer market, which can be an interesting time for buyers in the desert. Some buyers step back because of the heat, but serious buyers who stay engaged may find opportunities they might not see during busier seasonal months.

Summer in the desert is not for everyone, but sometimes the best opportunities show up when everyone else is at the pool pretending they are not checking Zillow.
