Former Ralph Bellamy estate in the middle of the infamous Movie Colony, residing on 2/3 acre of Desert Botanical Gardens. Western themed estate originally constructed in the 30's and enlarged by current owners. This estate will make any cowboy whistle Yippie Ki Yay! Many original details are carefully preserved as this now five-bedroom four bath property caters to the largest family's needs. Walk to Ruth Hardy Park or downtown. . Extremely secluded and private featuring some of the best mountain views in Palm Springs. Wayyyy too many details to mention. A must see in person.
