NEW Wellness Retreat Old Las Palmas! Pool! Hot Tub! Cold Plunge! Views! Expresso

Step through the gates and feel your shoulders drop.

This private Palm Springs estate—once home to Hollywood icon Alan Ladd—has been reimagined as a sanctuary for restoration, balance, and presence, where iconic mid-century architecture meets intentional wellness living.

Designed by renowned modernist Donald Wexler, the home is grounded in clarity and calm. Expanses of glass open the interiors to the San Jacinto Mountains, flooding the space with natural light and creating a constant connection to the desert landscape. The architecture is minimalist by design—allowing light, air, and silence to do the work.

The outdoor spaces are the heart of the experience.

Begin your day beneath the cabana as the mountains come alive with early light. Move effortlessly between the pool, the raised hot-tub spa, and the private outdoor soaking tub—each offering its own rhythm of warmth, buoyancy, and release. A dedicated cold plunge completes the circuit, inviting an invigorating contrast that resets the body and sharpens the mind.

This is wellness without schedules.
Heat. Cool. Rest. Repeat.

Cool-deck surfaces remain comfortable underfoot, upgraded patio furnishings invite long, unhurried afternoons, and multiple fire pits provide natural gathering points as the desert sky shifts from gold to indigo. Mountain views surround you in every direction—expansive, grounding, and constant.

Inside, the home continues the sense of retreat. Three of the five bedrooms feature en-suite baths, offering private sanctuaries designed for deep rest. Marble accents appear in the dining area and spa-like primary bath, adding tactile luxury without excess.

The kitchen is both functional and social—fully equipped with dual sinks, dual dishwashers, dual ovens, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Kosher-ready and designed for ease, it supports everything from nourishing morning rituals to candlelit dinners or relaxed outdoor meals.

Modern convenience is thoughtfully integrated, including a Level 2 EV charger, allowing you to arrive fully and remain fully present.

Selected for Modernism Week’s A Peek Behind the Hedges tour, this estate offers a rare combination of architectural pedigree, privacy, and wellness-centered living.

This is not a place to rush through.
It’s a place to recalibrate, restore, and remember how good stillness can feel.

Perfect Palm Springs Stay

From the initial inquiry to the day of check out we were impressed with everything! Excellent communication and top notch customer service. The home is absolutely perfect and very comfortable. The Las Palmas neighborhood is fun to stay in - we learned something new about the celebrity homes everyday we walked the neighborhood. This home is close to everything!

Beautiful house

We were a group of 9 staying to celebrate a birthday in Palm Springs. The property is historic and fabulous and was well located and incredibly well equipped. The kitchen had everything and then some. Management met us at check in and were friendly and welcoming, this was a relief as so much pre-stay communication on rules and guidelines was a little off putting. We had no issues during our stay and would love to go back.

Fun house for family vacay

We had a great week at this property. Spacious, well-appointed, and great location. Dave, the property manager was super helpful. My family loved the lemon, orange and grapefruit trees in the backyard. Also, with a large group the 2 refrigerators, washer/dryers and dishwashers came in very handy!
