Blizzard president Mike Morhaime expands his realm in Rancho Mirage

Mike Morhaime, the co-founder and president of Blizzard Entertainment, has bought a home in a gated Rancho Mirage community for $2.25 million. The hacienda-style estate, built in 2003, opens to a gated drive that ends at a circular motor court. The more than one-acre property includes a main house and three casitas that combine to offer seven bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms in just under 6,300 square feet of living space. Among features is a two-story great room with a stacked stone fireplace, a wine room and a kitchen updated with an island and a wrap-around bar. The master suite has his and hers quarter bathrooms and walk-ins. Pocket glass doors extend the living space outside, where patios surround a resort-style swimming pool with a waterfall feature.
