LOS ANGELES _ Supermodel Cindy Crawford and husband Rande Gerber have found a fashionable spot in the desert, paying $4.9 million for a home in La Quinta's exclusive Madison Club.
The stone-finished contemporary home, built in 2013, is entered through a gated courtyard with columns of fire, reflecting ponds and tropical landscaping.
Beyond the entry, some 6,000 square feet of living space have four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, an office and a chef's kitchen with a curved island/bar. A wine room sits behind floor-to-ceiling glass doors in the formal dining room.
There are wall fireplaces in the living and family rooms as well as the master suite. Additional living space for guests lies in a separate wing. Pocketing walls of glass open to a massive covered patio with bar seating, an al fresco dining area and a fireplace.
The Tom Fazio-designed golf course sits just beyond an infinity-edge pool and spa. Panoramic mountain views abound.
Crawford, 53, took to modeling in her teenage years and has appeared on hundreds of magazine covers. Gerber, 57, is a former model and a nightlife industry businessman. He co-founded the tequila brand Casamigos with actor George Clooney.
The couple have been active as home buyers and sellers in recent years. Two years ago, Crawford and Gerber paid $11.625 million for the Beverly Hills home of OneRepublic front man Ryan Tedder and his wife, Genevieve. A year ago, they sold a Malibu estate that they renovated for $45 million.
