The Blue Ridge

The Blue Ridge: California

We’re willing to bet that some good-natured individual watched a rainbow materialise in the sky, grabbed a handful of the resulting magic, threw it in a gift box wrapped in serenity and released it into this home. With eye-catching custom murals and generous touches of blue all around, you’ll find yourself in an oasis as exuberant as the outdoors of Palm Springs that Hollywood stars can’t seem to get enough of.

The home is a mid-century modern delight, and you’ll find a library with a lounge just for reading, a pool terrace dotted with energising palm trees and sensational views of the mountains, and a games room made for indulging in some friendly competition with your fellow guests. You won't want to leave but if you ever decide to, an adventure is always calling out in the Indian Canyons and you’re a five-minute drive from the eclectic mix of shops (everything from candy shops to record stores) in Downtown Palm Springs.

Home truths:
*The pool is cleaned on Tuesdays and Fridays so it'll be unavailable for use at some point during these days
*Off-street parking is available at this home
*A professional landscaper comes on Wednesdays, however they will work exclusively in the garden
*Your host can provide a free cot on request
*This is a single-level home, so is suitable for those with reduced mobility
