Surrounded by towering palm trees and sublime mountain views, this gorgeous home once belonged to the heiress Christina Onassis. In the back garden, you’ll find a pool worthy of heiresses – it’s 80-foot-long with an oversized spa and special water features. With spots to lounge on all sides, we imagine you’ll be spending quite a bit of time out here, especially when you add in the fire pit, dining table and paddleball court. Inside, you’ll find a beachy décor executed so well you won’t bat an eye despite thedesert surroundings. Head to the huge tiki bar and prepare drinks to enjoy by the pool. The well-equipped kitchen is stocked with high-end appliances and a pass-through window to the outside dining area, making hosting alfresco dinner parties easy. Or, you can always light up the barbecue. The living area is bright with high light wood ceilings and cooling tiled floors, while the bedrooms offer ultimate comfort, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The master even has a sauna, perfect for soothing muscles after a rematch on the paddleball court. Location-wise, you’ll be just a quick five-minute drive from all that downtown Palm Springs has to offer, including delicious restaurants, boutiques and lively bars. Plus, if you’re a golfer, the surrounding area has plenty of renowned courses to choose from.
