A short 15-minute drive up the mountain from El Paseo in Palm Desert reveals an amazing rock-infused desert estate built by one of Hollywood's famous architects. The setting can't be more private and the compound more relaxing. Whether you're looking to get away from the paparazzi in Hollywood for an extended period of time or just want an exclusive weekend hideaway, you'll find it here. The Spanish-style estate sits on 4 acres and is graced by an incredible view of Coachella Valley.
Summer 2021 updates
1 - Grand reopening. Summer is the best time to be here given the cooler climate at 3,000 feet. The pool is refreshing and the views are stunning. Break away and enjoy the grand reopening of Las Rocas.
2 We now have a dedicated fiber Internet connection to the hacienda at 300MB/s - is there a better place and view to enjoy while you're WFH?
3 We are putting in a new pool heater. The pool can now be heated during your stay for an additional fee.
You can have your own private resort complete with one of the most fantastic views in all of Southern California - reach out to let us know what will make your upcoming stay remarkable we can customize a VIP program including the use of the estate, things to do and see personal chef services, and more. This is the experience not to miss in the greater Palm Springs/Palm Desert area.
The estate is extensive and includes the main hacienda, an adjoining courtyard casita, a separate double casita, a workshed, a chapel, and a carport. Pull up to the main entrance and experience a pebblestone courtyard and fountain that surrounds you in the home's enclave.
The large outdoor courtyard connects the home to multiple outdoor patios and seating areas. Flagstone stairs lead down to the pool lounging area and a saltwater pool (unheated) that has one of the most amazing views of Coachella Valley and possibly all of Southern California.
Stroll around the property and discover a mature olive tree orchard, an old-style flag pole and seating area, and a chapel that welcomes all types of reflection and prayer.
Although you can retreat down from the mountain in 15 minutes and hit El Paseo, Living Desert, Whole Foods, Target, and a wide range of excellent restaurants, you may just find yourself wanting to bask in the feeling of solitude and quietly relish a haven that can feel as remote as you desire.
We have 100MB/s fiber to the home. Work from home and in a beautiful setting.
2021 Summer update - we are installing a new pool heater. The daily cost of running the heater varies and is optional - the daily fee of heating the pool can be added to your stay and is not included in the standard lodging rate. Please inquire about the daily rate for your stay.
