Experience timeless Palm Springs elegance in this private 1936 mini-estate, set on over half an acre of fee simple land with sweeping western mountain views. Surrounded by lush, botanical garden-style grounds adorned with mature fruit trees, the property embodies both serenity and sophistication.
The main residence offers three bedrooms (two ensuite) and three baths, with a vaulted great room anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling native stone fireplace—a striking centerpiece reminiscent of the desert ranch homes from Hollywood's golden era. An attached casita provides a private retreat with its own private entrance, kitchen, bath, and dedicated parking.
While already inviting, the property presents a unique opportunity for thoughtful renovation. With updates, its historic character and resort-style setting can be elevated even further, blending Palm Springs ranch charm with modern luxury. Outdoors, a saltwater pool, shaded dining area, large grassy area and vibrant mature landscaping create a secluded haven for relaxation and entertaining on a grand scale. An owned solar system with 24 panels ensures modern efficiency without compromise.
An oasis of calm that's only minutes from downtown Palm Springs, this turnkey furnished estate offers effortless access to fine dining, boutique shopping, hiking, and cultural attractions. A rare opportunity to own a retreat where history, beauty, and future potential converge. The possibilities are endless.
