Smooth Move: California

Want to sample a taste of nostalgic Palm Springs without compromising on luxury? This stylish mid-century home may be just the place to experience that famed SoCal glamour.

Set just a seven-minute drive from Downtown Palm Springs, this home channels retro-chic – think curated vintage artworks, original mid-century furniture (plus a stunning 50s Western Holly gas oven), and even a bar cart where you can mix up your favourite cocktails.

With 350 sunshine days a year, make the most of indoor-outdoor living, thanks to the free-flowing floor plan, sliding doors and generous terrace. Once outside, you’ll find a private saltwater swimming pool – complete with a hot tub and elegant sun loungers – set against a majestic backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains. Once you’ve cooked up a Californian feast on the state-of-the-art Weber barbecue grill, dine alfresco and finish the evening gathered around the fire pit.
