With cactus masterpieces scattering the mountain scenery, a topiary statement takes centre stage at this Mid-Century mecca. Not only is its design style second to none, but its heady desert atmosphere is sure to make an impression.

Privacy, bold design, eclectic decor and poolside splendour with an all-encompassing palm tree backdrop - what’s not to love? You’ll come to appreciate the artful precision and level of thought that went into this Palm Springs home whether you’re challenging a family member to a game of ping pong, floating in the shimmering pool or sharing lunch at your retro dining table. Shake up a Paloma cocktail from the bar cart and soak up the Californian rays before refreshing in your hot tub. When evening rolls around, your kitchen is fully set up to indulge your craving, the barbecue will give you a helping hand before sprawling out on your sun loungers for stargazing.

Although there's more than enough to keep guests entertained for hours upon end, there's plenty to do in the local area - from teeing off one of the many nearby golf courses to driving just over half an hour for hiking in the Joshua Tree National Park or getting your culture fix at Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center, five minutes from your home.
