Sanctuary Floor Plan – Desert Retreat (Indio, CA)

Sanctuary Floor Plan – Desert Retreat (Indio, CA)


Approx. 1,825 Sq Ft | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | Den/Office | Covered Patio | 2-Car Garage

The Sanctuary is where the Retreat Series begins.

It’s larger than the Classic homes, but still extremely efficient. You gain a meaningful bump in living space, a true den, and a more open entertaining layout — without crossing into the 2,000+ square foot range.

For many buyers, this is the first plan that feels “full-time ready.”

What Makes the Sanctuary Different

Larger, More Defined Great Room

The living room stretches wider and deeper than the Classic plans.

You’re not just opening up the kitchen — you’re creating a true gathering space.

The kitchen, dining area, and living room flow together naturally, giving you:

  • Better furniture flexibility

  • Stronger entertaining capacity

  • A more substantial feel overall

This plan handles dinner parties far more comfortably than the smaller models.

Dedicated Den / Office Space

The Sanctuary includes a true office space positioned away from the main living room.

This room works beautifully as:

  • A home office

  • A hobby room

  • A reading or media room

  • Or even a quiet guest overflow space

It adds versatility without pushing square footage too high.

Balanced Bedroom Placement

The primary suite sits on one side of the home, with the guest bedroom located toward the opposite side.

That separation gives:

  • Privacy for overnight guests

  • Quiet for work-from-home setups

  • A more peaceful daily rhythm

For a two-bedroom plan, the layout feels intentional and well thought out.

Open Kitchen with Strong Central Presence

The kitchen sits at the heart of the floor plan, connecting everything.

It opens directly into:

  • The dining area

  • The living room

  • The covered patio

This makes indoor-outdoor flow easy and natural.

In this size category, it feels open without feeling oversized.

Who the Sanctuary Is Perfect For

  • Buyers upgrading from the Classic Series

  • Full-time residents who don’t need 2,000+ sq ft

  • Couples who want a den but not a third bedroom

  • Seasonal residents wanting space without excess maintenance

It often becomes the “sweet spot” for buyers who tour Getaway or Solitude and realize they want more breathing room.

Structural Options to Consider

Depending on release timing and builder offerings, Sanctuary may offer:

  • Bedroom 3 conversion (in certain configurations)

  • Den door style upgrades (French or double-door look)

  • Interior fireplace option

  • Wet bar option (in select layouts)

  • Upgraded sliding door systems for enhanced patio flow

  • Owner’s bath layout variations, including accessibility-friendly shower options

On this plan especially, patio slider upgrades can dramatically change the feel of the home.

  • A real den

  • Larger entertaining space

  • Better separation

  • More flexibility
