Money Trees

Money Trees: California

Ever wondered what it'd be like to party with Elvis? Well, you might not be able to actually party with him, but you'll get pretty close to it in this home. The founder of 20th Century Fox, Daryl Zanuck, was once the proud owner of this mid-century, palm tree-lined estate in Palm Springs. And of the many A-listers that visited, Elvis was one of them!

In this historic and glamorous neighbourhood of Old Las Palmas, you're rubbing shoulders with the homes of movie stars past and present. The feeling of Hollywood's Golden Age is unmissable, and you'll certainly feel the glamour in this home. Lush gardens, a glittering pool, and a stone waterfall hot tub are the perfect welcome to this Palm Springs oasis. Spend lazy days lounging by the pool, sipping on a cocktail, surrounded by flourishing gardens. When dinnertime rolls around, tuck in to barbecue dinners around the bistro table. Or, take the twenty-minute walk or five-minute drive to the centre of Palm Springs where you'll find plenty of restaurants, bars, and clubs. By day, Palm Springs almost looks like it's been dipped in sepia, epitomising hazy California dreaming. By night, it comes alive with neon signs and twinkling lights. When you return home, enjoy an obligatory nightcap in the hot tub, before sinking into your bed for a restful night's sleep.
