For Sale l Open House. The design details of this exceptional Cliff May pool home were inspired by Parker Palm Springs, and the property has the distinctive feeling of a private resort. Built in 1954, this home is the largest of the original Rancho Estates floor plans.

The property is located in a quiet interior location within the neighborhood and is elevated from the street for an enhanced sense of privacy. Enter through the property’s playful pink gate and you are greeted by a private courtyard with outdoor dining and entertainment areas, complete with firepit. The thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces continue around the house to another seating and entertainment section at the back, located adjacent to a sparkling pool and spa with lounge area.

The interior is equally captivating and features an expansive open kitchen with marble countertops, a 15’ island with breakfast bar, custom kitchen cabinets, and designer lighting. Clerestory windows along with original Cliff May designed windows and doors flood the home with natural light, while white concrete floors enhance the open, airy ambiance throughout.

This mid-century modern gem delivers all the style and character of a Palm Springs hideaway, yet benefits from the temperate coastal climate, cooled by ocean breezes drifting inland from the nearby coastline.

Get to know our new teammates!

Donald, originally from Texas and Kaitlin, originally from Arizona, met while living in the same apartment complex in Sacramento. In 2020, the couple made the move to Long Beach and quickly figured out Southern California life is for them – spending their weekends paddleboarding, throwing the football on the beach and trying all the local cuisine.

With a passion for mid-century modern architecture, frequenting Palm Springs for inspiration, they set their sights on the Cliff May Ranchos in 2023 and became residents of this wonderful neighborhood in December of 2023.

Donald and Kaitlin love to host friends and family in their beautifully curated home – often times challenging neighbors to a round of put-put on their putting green. You’ve likely seen them strolling the neighborhood with their two pups, Bear and Lucy, while their cat Mia sits at home wishing she was the one on the walk.

If you haven’t met them already, they’ll be at the Ranchos Neighborhood Organization booth on Saturday, Nov. 22nd at the Holiday Market! Be sure to drop in and say hello – we’re sure you’ll enjoy their company as much as we do!
