Luxury Living at Disney: Cotino Welcomes First Residents
Nestled in the Coachella Valley, Cotino presents an unprecedented opportunity for Disney enthusiasts: a meticulously designed neighborhood featuring multi-million dollar residences, an exclusive private lounge reminiscent of Club 33, an Incredibles-themed clubhouse, and a Disney chef-operated restaurant, effectively offering the closest experience to residing within Disneyland itself. This spring, the vision becomes reality as the first residents begin moving into this Walt Disney Imagineering-crafted community in Rancho Mirage.

Disney’s inaugural Storyliving community, a master-planned neighborhood encompassing 300 homes in the Palm Springs area, marks the beginning of a unique residential experience “inspired by world-famous Disney placemaking,” with further developments planned. This 618-acre property, strategically located between Monterey Avenue and Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, and Gerald Ford drives, holds the potential for expansion to 1,700 homes and 400 hotel rooms. Marketed as a “creative oasis,” this desert community caters to Disneyland enthusiasts seeking to integrate Disney’s magic more deeply into their daily lives.
Cotino offers a range of living options, from smaller cottages, beginning in the upper $1 million price range and featuring 2,200 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, to expansive estates, starting in the upper $4 million range, boasting 7,200 square feet with five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
For those seeking exclusive amenities, the private Artisan Club, Cotino’s equivalent to Disneyland’s Club 33, requires a $20,000 initiation fee and annual dues between $11,000 and $19,000. This voluntary membership, ultimately accessible to both Cotino residents and non-residents, grants access to the Cotino Bay waterfront clubhouse, the Architects Fork restaurant, the Plot Twist outdoor bar, the Parr House event space, a Disney-operated creative studio, and a private beach along a 24-acre man-made lake.
Overlooking Cotino Bay, the Pixar-themed Parr House will provide an exceptional entertainment space, featuring a grand entertaining room with a striking rockwork fireplace, alongside five bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, boardroom, and art studio. Its mid-century design pays homage to the Parr family mansion from Pixar’s “Incredibles 2,” mirroring the film’s iconic cliffside residence with its floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor rock formations, and infinity pool, albeit without the fictional mansion’s elaborate surveillance and remote-control features.
Artisan Club members will have the opportunity to rent the Parr House for celebrations and limited overnight stays, and Disney will host exclusive Storyteller’s Dinners as part of the club’s event schedule. The Cotino Bay Clubhouse will further enhance the club experience, offering a swimming pool, wellness center, fitness facilities, and outdoor tennis and pickleball courts. Both the Artisan Club and the Parr House are slated to open this fall.
An exclusive, members-only beach will provide a range of aquatic activities, including heated swimming areas, shaded seating, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Disney will curate a diverse entertainment program, featuring signature events, live performances, seasonal festivities, cooking and art classes, seminars, speaker series, health and wellness initiatives, and philanthropic activities. Furthermore, the Disney entertainment team will organize excursions, day trips, and extended vacations for club members. Cotino will also feature several parks accessible to all residents, catering to various demographics, such as the family-friendly Little Desert Park, the senior-focused Longtable Park, and an equestrian-themed dog park. Non-residents will have the option to purchase day passes for access to a public beach and recreational water activities along Cotino Bay.
