This gorgeous villa is the perfect blend of Moroccan chic and Palm Springs beauty. Once home to the award-winning set designer Ken Johnson, this designer home will get you truly living the high life. Sit out in the gorgeous yard by the pool and integrated waterfall spa, whether on the chaise lounges or on the daybed, where you can bask in the shade and enjoy the hot weather. Slip into the water and swim a few laps to start your day, or unwind in the spa and feel all your worries slip away into the spectacular landscaping. For guests looking for ultimate privacy during their stay, a lucky couple will be able to stay in the detached casita, complete with its own living and dining area and access straight to the pool, so you can roll out of bed and right into relaxation. While away the long hours under the sun with a game of cornhole with the kids, or get some work or study done remotely at the dedicated desk. Conveniently located in the popular Tahquitz River Estates neighbourhood, you'll be close to all you need to make the most of your holiday, removed from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Palm Springs. Grabbing some groceries or heading out for a bite to eat are a breeze from this home. In the evening, gather around the fire pit and swap tales of the day, have deep conversations over drinks or simply admire the stars above the crackling flames.
