Unbeatable location

100% of guests in the past year gave this location a 5-star rating.
Nestled atop the majestic mountains of Palm Desert, a mere 15-minute drive from El Paseo, lies an architectural gem crafted by a Hollywood architect. This rock-infused desert estate (modeled after an estate in Sevllle, Spain) offers unparalleled privacy and serenity, making it the ultimate sanctuary for those seeking refuge from the prying eyes of the paparazzi or a luxurious weekend retreat. Hollywood A-listers and discerning travelers alike will enjoy the most fantastic views in Palm Springs.

The space
Modeled after a Spanish estate in Seville, this hacienda compound offers a truly unique and authentic experience.
Perched at an elevation of 3,000 feet, the summer months on the property are a delightful 10-15 degrees cooler than the desert floor, allowing you to lounge around the estate, splash in the refreshing and cool saltwater pool (heating available as an option - please inquire), and marvel over the outstanding views in complete comfort.
The estate is extensive and includes the main hacienda, an adjoining courtyard casita, a separate double casita, a workshed, a chapel, and carport.
Pull up to the main entrance and experience a pebblestone courtyard and fountain that surrounds you in the home's enclave.
The large outdoor courtyard connects the home to multiple outdoor patios and seating areas. Flagstone stairs lead down to the pool lounging area and a saltwater pool (heated) that has one of the most amazing views of Coachella Valley and possibly all of Southern California.
Stroll around the property and discover a mature olive tree orchard, an old-style flag pole and seating area, and a chapel that welcomes all types of reflection and prayer.
Although you can retreat down from the mountain in 15 minutes and hit El Paseo, Living Desert, Whole Foods, Target, a wide range of excellent restaurants, you may just find yourself wanting to bask in the feeling of solitude and quietly relish a haven that can feel as remote as you desire.
We have 300MB/s fiber to the home. Work from home and in a beautiful setting! Heated Pool option. The saltwater pool can be heated during your stay for an additional fee and with a heating pool deposit. Please inquire for heating rate and deposit amount.

No parties or events of any kind are allowed on the property.
