Property Description

MODERNISM IN THE DESERT: The Fortiner Residence by architect Lloyd Ruocco commands its 79-acre flat landscape – a former citrus grove in northern Borrego close to the Coyote Canyon trailhead. Enjoy wide open skies, clean air and privacy poolside and from within the steel, glass and concrete modernist home (originally published in Redbook in 1951). Ruocco returned to the site (circa 1961) to add the primary bedroom suite creating twin pavilions flanking the screened-in breezeway. This unique property offers a wide array of potential uses – from vacation rentals to hosting retreats or health & wellness events, to leveraging the movie set-like outbuildings for film and photography.
