Atomic Ranch Talk & Tour: The Modern Legacy of Desert Eichler No. 12

Just beyond the gates of the legendary El Dorado Country Club, something unexpected rises from the desert floor. The Desert Eichlers are a labor of love—and a feat of determination.

Just beyond the gates of the legendary El Dorado Country Club, something unexpected rises from the desert floor. The Desert Eichlers are a labor of love—and a feat of determination—born from a singular vision: to bring authentic Eichler living to the Coachella Valley.

In 2014, Troy Kudlac, founder of Kud Properties, secured a rare agreement to license original Eichler floor plans from the estate that holds them, then set about making that dream a reality in the shadow of the San Jacinto Mountains. The result is a growing collection of homes that honor the spirit of Joseph Eichler's Modernist legacy while embracing every comfort of contemporary living.

The crown jewel of that collection is the MS-234 by architect Claude Oakland in Indian Wells—the 12th and largest Desert Eichler yet. With a slightly expanded footprint, a dramatic standing seam metal roof, and a wraparound pool that seamlessly blends a lap pool with a play pool, this home is as functional as it is breathtaking. Inside and out, the finishes are impeccable, and a bonus pavilion extends the living space into the desert air in true indoor-outdoor Eichler fashion.

Tour this stunning A-frame, then gather poolside for a live conversation hosted by Atomic Ranch editor Jickie Torres. Troy Kudlac and the homeowners will walk you through the entire journey—from finding the perfect lot to every build decision that shaped this remarkable home where mid-century history and a bold new legacy meet.

A Q&A follows the talk so you get front-row access to the design minds that made this Modern vision come true. Each guest will also receive a free copy of Atomic Ranch magazine.
