This is a rare opportunity to purchase one of the early California Spanish Ranch style homes that was built when Palm Springs was only thermal baths. Located in the exclusive Historic Tennis Club neighborhood, nestled between the San Jacinto Mountains, multi million dollar homes, and historical B & B's. .. all just steps to downtown. 'The Ranch House' has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms in total. Currently used as a family compound comprised of the main house, a painting studio (with kitchen), and a one bedroom complete guesthouse. Hand cut and hand laid stone floors thread throughout the property, both inside and outside, creating the visual and textural base for this historic property. Moonlight evenings swimming in the Moroccan tile pool, looking up at the mountains and stars (with a wink down from Albert Frey's House) will transport you back to those early days of old Palm Springs.
