Private Spanish Retreat Home - Saltwater Pool, Mountain Views, Bocce Ball, BBQ

The City of Palm Springs ID #990

Vista del Monte (View of the Mountain) is a totally private, walled and gated authentic 1940's Spanish hacienda home.

The home has been published and appeared in the book PALM SPRINGS LIVING. It was restored by San Francisco-based designers' Candra Scott and Anderson. The firm specializes in the restoration of landmark hotels and properties throughout the world.

The property has been totally renovated to its original pristine state and has been fully updated to include all modern conveniences while preserving the period aesthetics. The newest addition to the property is a completely remodeled saline pool. This attention to detail is rarely found in a rental property.

The home offers an open living plan with easy access to the expansive backyard with a covered patio, large pool, built-in Jenn-Air BBQ all set within a picturesque backdrop of mountain views, accented by the glowing lights of the PS Aerial Tramway.

The living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a French door leading to the covered patio, pool, and backyard. The large screen 48" Smart TV equipped with Roku, Hulu, free Netflix and Amazon Prime. If you prefer to get back to basics, you can enjoy our book library and a vast array of board games.

The open dining room has views to the front courtyard water fountain, living room fireplace and beyond to the backyard pool.

The fully equipped kitchen is complete with modern appliances as well as all amenities necessary for cooking and entertaining.

The home's floor plan has two separate bedroom wings and is bridged by the living room and dining room.

From the master suite, allow yourself to gaze out to the spectacular mountain and pool views. The pillow-top California king bed, luxury linens, 32" flat-screen TV and full en suite bathroom. To increase your comfort, bathrobes and throws are located in each bedroom closet. The en suite master bathroom includes a glass-enclosed shower and bathtub, where you will enjoy our complimentary Molton Brown bath products.

Let the queen bedroom welcome you with a pillow-top bed, luxury linens, robes and a flat-screen TV. Just outside your patio door, you will be enchanted by the tranquil splashing of the water fountain as it entices you to the cactus garden. Our collection is consistently expanding, and we currently showcase over 80 specimens collected from around the world. You just may be lucky enough to witness to one of nature's rare wonders; a cactus flower from one of our many varieties. There are two French doors that lead to the backyard and private patio, which is just steps away from the pool.

The second bathroom, adjacent to the queen bedroom features a beautifully designed glass enclosed tile shower with complimentary Molton Brown bath products and a luxurious rain-head faucet.

The light and airy twin bedroom features two twin beds and is perfectly suited for both children and adults.

The west-facing backyard and newly remodeled saline (salt) water pool are totally private with beautiful mountain views and a splashing water fountain. Enjoy the spectacular sunsets while sitting under the grapevine-lined arbors, grilling on the large Jenn-Air built-in BBQ, floating in the pool or relaxing with a refreshing drink. The citrus orchard containing orange, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon and limes provides our guests with fresh seasonal fruit. The covered patio contains a sofa, chairs and a table for intimate outdoor dining. There is an additional umbrella-covered dining table for larger groups. There are numerous cushioned chairs and chaise lounges for relaxing in the sun.

For bocce ball enthusiasts, you can enjoy playing the sport on our regulation-sized court.
