About This Home
A Legendary Palm Springs Estate Where Hollywood Glamour Meets Desert Luxury. Step into a world of unparalleled elegance and history with this breathtaking estate, originally built by Marion Davies, the famed actress and longtime companion of media magnate William Randolph Hearst. Spanning 2.77 acres in one of the most prestigious locations in the Palm Springs area directly across from the 175-acre Annenberg Estate this 10-bedroom, 14-bathroom compound with 4 kitchens offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood's golden past. Painstakingly renovated and restored in 2018, the estate effortlessly blends its rich 1920s heritage with modern luxury. Designed for grand entertaining and total serenity, the property features four kitchens, a regulation sunken tennis court, an oversized spa and sauna, a pool with cascading waterfalls, and a secret passageway all enveloped by lush, manicured grounds. A true architectural treasure, the estate maintains the original structure built by Davies while incorporating stunning upgrades that pay homage to its legendary past. Previously owned by the visionary behind Trader Vic's, this is a home of distinction, refinement, and prestige maintained to ensure its legacy endures. An irreplaceable masterpiece, this estate offers a rare chance to own a slice of Hollywood history and the epitome of Palm Springs luxury. Don't miss this once-in-a-decade opportunity to make it yours. Social media: Villa de Martini
