The cool, colorful glamour of Palm Springs in the ’60s is alive and very well at this custom-built California ranch. Socialite and philanthropist Jeannette Edris Rockefeller lived and entertained at this mid-century classic, and Hollywood filmed scenes in the movie Cat City here. Walk or bike down quiet streets to shopping and dining along Palm Canyon Drive.

The villa’s nearly 5,000 square feet of space are laid out around a backyard made for entertaining, with panoramic views of the San Jacinto Mountains and tall hedges for privacy. Sip a drink in one of the loungers by the saltwater pool and hot tub, and heat up the barbecue in the outdoor kitchen for an alfresco dinner. Cozy up to the outdoor firepit on cool desert nights or move the party inside to the wet bar and pool table.

Walls of windows and high ceilings bring the mountain views and desert sunshine into the open-plan living areas. Mid-century furniture, meanwhile, and a fresh blue and green color scheme brings retro cool to the living area, dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar. The vintage-chic vibe continues in 3 main-house bedrooms and 1 in a casita with its own kitchenette.

From the villa’s setting in the Old Las Palmas neighborhood, it’s less than 5 miles to shopping and dining in the heart of Palm Springs, 2 golf courses, and the views from the Mount San Jacinto tramway.
