Tour the iconic homes and enchanting grounds of Sandpiper, a William Krisel masterwork, while sipping cocktails, enjoying hors d'oeuvres and grooving to the Martini Kings' retro beats.

Enchant yourself with a tour of a midcentury Modern landmark by William Krisel—Sandpiper Circle 3. Join us for an exclusive tour of this iconic desert community, where you’ll explore six beautifully preserved homes, enjoy twilight cocktails and sway to live poolside music.

Built between 1958 and 1969, the Sandpiper community is a testament to Krisel’s architectural brilliance and his unique vision for desert living. Sandpiper Circle 3, perched at the highest elevation within the community, features 24 homes arranged in a pinwheel around lush, landscaped grounds. This thoughtful design maximizes mountain views and privacy, with each home’s front patio facing the central common area, free from the sight of cars, garages, or overhead wires.

Highlights of Sandpiper Circle 3 include:

Three acres of meticulously designed grounds, featuring flat-roofed homes of varying heights.
Dramatically angle block steps that usually cradle the unfenced pool and Ramada.
Stunning views, preserved by the careful arrangement of homes and landscaping.

Krisel’s design earned him a landscaping award from the American Institute of Architects, and the homes themselves stand as unforgettable time capsules. With post-and-beam construction, extensive use of glass and the iconic “all-electric kitchens” that earned each home a Live Better Electrically gold medallion, these residences embody the elegance and innovation of the era.

As the sun sets, lose yourself in the Martini Kings’ slinky-cool blend of 1950s and 60s retro jazz, Exotica, Bossa Nova and Tiki!

Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Sandpiper—a desert oasis that endures and captivates.
