You Gave Me a Mountain

You Gave Me a Mountain: California

Situated in Little Tuscany, just around the corner from Elvis' honeymoon hideaway, this hillside home is quintessential Palm Springs. Think timeless mid-century design, elegant furniture and large panes of glass framing breathtaking mountain views – it's impossible not to fall in love with this place the moment you step inside.

An open-plan living space forms the heart of the home, so you can take your pick of the fireside seating, the comfortable corner sofa, or the dining table, yet still enjoy each other's company. A sleek and stylish kitchen occupies the far corner and contains everything you could need to prepare homemade meals.

Four individually decorated bedrooms benefit from direct access to the outdoors, with comfortable beds and bold pops of colour. The main bedroom really stands out with its en-suite bathroom, separate sitting area and balcony seating looking out over the gorgeous pool, beautifully landscaped gardens, to the mountains beyond.

As the ideal family home-from-home, it wouldn't be complete without scenic hiking trails a short walk from your front door, while the shops and restaurants of uptown are less than a mile away.

Head a mile and a half further down North Palm Canyon Drive and you'll come across the eclectic Downtown area, lined with art galleries and innovative restaurants. Twenty minutes' drive out of town, discover the Coachella Valley Preserve – a true oasis in the desert.
