Kourtney Kardashian took time this spring to close on this newly minted 9,335 sq. ft. modern in the California resort city of La Quinta. When the dust had settled, the social media maven and TV personality had shelled out $12 million for the desert property.

The home’s contemporary — temporal, not stylistic — approach to modern style dresses up the chilly, boxy exterior with atmospheric sconces, timber accent cladding, and a black plane that juts out perpendicularly a few feet beneath the roofline. A double-staircase walk with LED lighting leads inside.

The interiors of the home tickle the fancy of the well-heeled buyer of today, as there are many familiar sights in this house: plank is used for ceilings, a linear fireplace in a weighty accent wall is the centerpiece of the open-concept living area, and the cladding on the outside is reprised as an accent material in the ‘California’ or indoor/outdoor transition room.

The house’s amenities include an office and a lounge, but the gem is the outdoor courtyard, which the interiors open onto through vanishing glass walls. The outdoor living area also features a kitchen and fire features.

Views from this property are impressive—the Santa Rosa Mountains rise up dramatically in the distance, in direct line of sight from the home’s shared living area.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians recently concluded after a 20-season run.
