About the Listing 4760 - 44069
Set across 28 acres of private hillside in Palm Springs' coveted Mesa neighborhood, this extraordinary 7 bedroom, 11 bathroom estate once enjoyed by actress and entrepreneur Suzanne Somers stands as one of the most storied residential compounds in the desert. Just minutes from downtown yet worlds away in privacy and serenity, the property unfolds as a series of terraces, gardens, and architectural retreats woven into the natural landscape of Mount San Jacinto. Originally established in the 1920s and thoughtfully expanded over time, the estate encompasses approximately 7,280 square feet of living space across multiple structures, including the main residence and a collection of guest villas. Meandering pathways, secluded patios, and expansive view terraces create a sense of discovery throughout the property, while sweeping vistas stretch across the Coachella Valley below. Arrival itself is an experience. A custom hillside funicular carries guests through dramatic rock formations as panoramic views reveal themselves with every ascent. Once above, the estate unfolds as a private world designed for both grand entertaining and quiet retreat. The main residence features a dramatic formal dining room with barrel ceiling and fireplace, multiple indoor and outdoor living areas, and a chef-caliber dual kitchen with hidden wine vault built directly into the hillside for natural temperature control. Throughout the estate, antique Balinese mahogany doors, custom stone vessel sinks carved from fossilized materials, and handcrafted architectural details lend warmth and character. Seven bedroom suites including romantic guest quarters, family suites, and the original caretaker's cottage provide both privacy and flexibility. Crowning the estate is a remarkable primary retreat offering balcony views, outdoor soaking tub, dressing area, office, gallery hallway, and lounge spaces that function as a private apartment within the compound. Adjacent to the pool, the iconic Rock House with architectural ties to legendary desert modernist Albert Frey appears to float above the landscape and features its own fireplace and dramatic views. The grounds themselves are equally compelling. A private outdoor amphitheater has hosted performances by renowned artists, while terraces, gardens, and hidden gathering spaces create a setting equally suited for intimate evenings or large-scale events. Scenic hillside trails wind through the property, where encounters with native bighorn sheep are not uncommon. Today the estate remains both a remarkable private sanctuary and a proven luxury vacation rental destination, with parking for more than twenty vehicles and infrastructure designed to accommodate gatherings with ease. Historic, theatrical, and utterly private - this is one of Palm Springs' most legendary hillside estates.
