Originally designed by local architect, Thomas Jakway in 2007, this truly remarkable, one-of-a-kind home welcomes you and your guests to the historic and eclectic South Palm Springs neighborhood known as the Mesa. Inside this 3,500-square-foot, two-story, luxury home, you'll find a number of high-end fixtures, amenities, and decor, all chosen with artistic attention to detail. The large, open kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, custom walnut cabinets, and Caesarstone countertops with easy access to a cooking terrace with a built-in barbecue grill and a view of the backyard and pool deck. The sunlit great room joins the kitchen and dining area with the living room complete with Fleetwood multi-stacking glass doors that vanish into the wall, erasing the line between indoors and out, and taking you out to a living/dining terrace with stunning mountain views.
For sleeping options, there are three phenomenal bedrooms here, all with en suite baths and separate climate controls, spread out over both levels of this home and accessible via a spectacular glass staircase or a personal elevator. The impressive main suite, located on the upper level, includes a dual-sided gas fireplace, a stone soaking tub, front and rear facing windows, and a walk-in closet.
Outside, the uniqueness of this property continues with an astounding oasis backyard nestled up against the hillside, featuring a saltwater pool and spa, a wet bar, gas firepit, numerous seating areas, and your very own ruins! That's right, neighborhood folklore suggests that the ruins were part of a never-completed project to build a casino on an adjacent lot in the 1920s, but now you can dine or socialize within the ancient walls that have been expertly integrated into the landscape.
WHAT’S NEARBY
The surrounding Mesa neighborhood is more than just a historic celebrity enclave once home to famous actors, authors, and songwriters, it is also conveniently located between downtown and South Palm Springs for easy access to restaurants, golf courses, and hiking and biking trails. From this home, you can walk to several popular destinations including the legendary Ace Hotel, the Moorten Botanical Garden (founded in 1938 by the desert's first horticulturist), Mr. Lyons, and so much more. This property is also just 23 miles from the Empire Polo Club, home of the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach Festival.
THINGS TO KNOW
Full kitchen with a wine fridge plus an outdoor wet bar
Two barbecues included.
High-capacity washer/dryer.
Outdoor shower inside the ruins.
A twin futon in one of the lower-level bedrooms offers extra sleeping space.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles.
Security camera details: One in the side yard facing the trash; one at the front door facing porch; one in the front driveway facing street; one in the backyard facing the spa/ruin/partial pool; no audio.

Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
