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.
