Custom home on 5 acres
I had the privilege of representing BOTH the Seller on this tranquil Equestrian Estate in Vista Santa Rosa, California, and also the Buyers. Located right by the border of La Quinta, this particular area is fast becoming known as “The Rodeo Drive of Horse Property!” 82480 Avenue 54 is fondly known as THE MANSION ON 54TH. Originally designed and built by Tennis Legend, Vic Braden, this 5 acre Estate rests behind entry gates, that open to a private road. The road circles by the Pond in the front of the main house, which is where the Canal water is held before it’s used for irrigation.
The estate is zoned for horses, but Mr. Braden chose to use it as his desert Tennis Retreat. The Tennis court has since been covered up as the current owner has chosen to surround the elevated home site with lush grass, citrus trees, and desert flora. The property is completely fenced, and has a back up source of water in it’s private well.
I had this amazing property listed for only 7 days before I brought the Seller the Perfect Buyers, and we opened Escrow. As I told this seller when I took this listing..I have BUYERS for specific Equestrian properties, and also Vacant Land. If you are looking to buy or sell your Equestrian property, vacant land, investment land, or farm land, give me a call. Consultations are FREE, and no pressure. Sometimes, we just want to see what our property is worth..760-285-3578

A 5 acre lush equestrian estate
Just Listed and filmed for release to the Public by the end of this week in Thermal, California! Located on the very eastern border of La Quinta, and the edge of Thermal, at Monroe and Avenue 54 sits this private 5 acre Farm. The dramatic entry gate is off of Avenue 54, and opens to a private road back to the Estate. A lush garden property with a Reservoir for the Canal water, and also a private well, the entire 5 acres is fenced. Landscape is mature and serene, offering multiple types of Citrus Trees, Palms, and various flowering shrubs. The farm is zoned for 5 horses/acre, and is surrounded by neighboring Equestrian Estates, and farm land, yet only a short drive to the City of La Quinta. This property will NOT sit for long!
82480 Avenue 54, Thermal, California, is the former celebrity tennis estate of the world renowned Tennis coach, Vic Braden. The approx. 3750 sf Custom home was built in 1977, and features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms as well as a detached 2.5 car garage. Custom flagstone floors throughout, with sliders to porches and VIEWS from each of the 3 bedrooms. A sunken living room features a floor to ceiling brick surround for the wood burning fireplace.

There is a large (approx. 35 ft. Pool), with a raised Spa, in the backyard, which also features multiple conversation areas, including a covered outdoor eat area. There is also a Gazebo in the front, which looks out over the Pond to the Mountains beyond. Lots of room for entertaining in this magical place!

The famed Rat Pack loved Palm Springs!
Palm Springs will always be a part of iconic Hollywood—to this day both locals and tourists marvel at the architectural mystique of some of the gorgeous celebrity homes and the historical flavor of some of the town’s hotspots and landmarks, such as the Palm Springs Walk of Stars, the Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway and places that the Rat Pack used to frequent.
Whether you take an organized tour or catch some glimpses while perusing Palm Springs homes for sale, there are plenty of celebrity abodes to be amazed by. Those searching for Rancho Mirage Real Estate often want to get a good look at Frank Sinatra’s lavish property at the base of Tamarisk Country Club. The 8,000 square foot main residence and 4500 square foot guest quarters are flanked by trains that appear both inside and outside the property, a result of Sinatra’s fascination with train cars. Inside there is a barber salon, as well as specially commissioned portraits of many of Sinatra’s cohorts, from Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., to Ronald Reagan, Eva Gabor and Marilyn Monroe.
Once finished looking at Rancho Mirage Real Estate and Sinatra’s home, many are inspired to get a look at Dean Martin’s midcentury modern home. It was one of the last masterpieces created by the renowned father and son architectural team, George and Robert Alexander, who passed away in a plane crash, soon after Martin purchased this gem of a property.

PALM SPRINGS — To commemorate the 35th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death, you will be able to tour his Estate in Palm Springs – today and tomorrow. His 5,100sf home at 845 W. Chino Canyon Road has been called “Graceland West” by the New York Times.
“Graceland West” was built in 1946 and sits on about two acres. Prior to Presley’s buying the property in 1970, it was owned by the Jergen’s cosmetic family and Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald’s. Elvis died on this day, August 16, in 1977 at Graceland, his home in Memphis Tennessee.
Tours will be offered every 30 minutes from 10am to 4pm on both days. Tickets are priced to honor the year that “Elvis left the building” . . . at $19.77 per person.
The current co-owner of the home now has said that the house sat vacant for 27 years until he bought it in 2004 for $1.25 million. Elvis celebrated his last birthday at his home here in Palm Springs and this home and Graceland were the only properties he owned at the time of his death.
