The View

The View: California

Formerly owned by Jeannette Edris Rockefellar, this home is set in the desirable neighbourhood of Palm Springs and actually served as the backdrop for a movie based on the wealthy. It’s easy to see why you’d feel like you’re living the Hollywood life here, especially given the sheer scale of each room. The piano and pool table also add to the luxury this home has to offer, but it’s not all gloss. The firepit near the pool and the fireplace in the lounge leans itself more to comfort, which makes for an interesting blend of sophisticated cosiness.

With so many things to do on site, it might be difficult to leave, but even just strolling the calm roads of Old Las Palmas feels special, especially when you might end up spotting a celebrity. Constantly confronted with scenic mountain views, this home and its surrounding area is an oasis. Relax and reconnect in the private saltwater pool before dining alfresco.
