Mountain Shadows

Mountain Shadows: California

If you’ve ever dreamed of life in 1960s Palm Springs, you’re probably not alone. This original Alexander Company home, in the shade of the San Jacinto Mountains, couldn't be more period SoCal if it tried. The outside space is stunning, with a pool, lawns and patios, and a Bocce court – all screened with hedging. Perhaps most impressive are the stunning view of the mountains towering over the home. Inside, the open layout makes it perfect for hosting a family get-together. Built in 1960, it's been restored but has kept all its character. You'll find vaulted tongue and groove ceilings, entire walls of glass doors and carefully chosen mid-century furnishings. And if you get bored of staying in, there’s all the Coachella Valley to explore, with various golf courses, hiking opportunities, shops and museums.

Home truths:
*Pool heating is possible on request, but it’ll be charged extra
*There's a Tesla charging point
