Property Description
Welcome to 1075 S. Manzanita, a singular architectural statement that captures the spirit of 1960s innovation and Old Hollywood elegance. Originally designed in 1964 by Charles W. Doty, this curvilinear residence is a sculptural ode to the era's finest modernist ideals. Its iconic circular form and orbit-like layout evoke comparisons to Oscar Niemeyer's Casa das Canoas and John Lautner's Elrod House and Hope Residence, a symphony of movement, geometry, and expressive design. Once the desert retreat of Academy Award-winning actress Loretta Young, this architectural jewel rests in Deepwell Estates, a neighborhood synonymous with glamour and legacy, once home to Hollywood icons including William Holden, Carmen Miranda, and Jerry Lewis. Stepping through elegant bronze entry doors, you're greeted by a serene koi pond, a meditative prelude to the home's interior experience. A second set of glass doors unveils the centerpiece: an extraordinary circular living room with 14-foot origami-inspired ceilings, wraparound glass walls, and a suspended fireplace, all framing sweeping cinematic views of the San Jacinto Mountains. This is the sun around which the home revolves. Every detail radiates from its core, including the seamless terrazzo flooring, custom rug, and exterior motifs that mirror its architectural rhythm, from the curved pool to the circular terraces. Just off this central space, a smaller, refined and intimate room offers an inviting retreat, perfect for quiet conversation, a cozy evening with a book, or even as a private TV lounge. Spanning over 3,510 SqFt, the residence has been thoughtfully elevated with bespoke upgrades: Miele appliances, Viking wine cooler, and one-touch remote blinds. The gallery-style kitchen opens to a sophisticated breakfast area and a cocktail terrace and bar, blending form and function in sublime proportion. The primary suite, tucked into the secluded west wing, is a sanctuary of privacy and tranquility. Fleetwood disappearing doors dissolve into lush gardens, revealing a cascading waterfall, pond, and open-air shower, a true Hollywood starlet's escape. A junior en-suite bedroom with a walk-in closet offers direct pool access is located right next door, while a third en-suite guest bedroom in the east wing enjoys expansive mountain views. Adjacent is a serene office or creative studio with its own private entrance, ideal for writers, studio, or remote work. Outside, mature citrus trees, guava and fig trees, plumeria, and lush hedging create an enveloping sense of privacy and botanical elegance. The saltwater pool and spa grotto, shaded by gauzy outdoor drapery, offer a secluded refuge beneath the mountains. A firepit beneath the fruit-filled citrus canopy invites quiet evening conversations and stargazing. A circular driveway, flanked by dual automatic gates, lends a cinematic entrance and provides ample parking, including a two-car garage and space for four additional uncovered vehicles, ideal for car collectors or guests. Set on an oversized 15,245 SqFt lot (approximately 0.35 acres), the property offers exceptional space, scale, and privacy rarely found in Deepwell. This property also features three HVAC zones, updated plumbing systems, a smart spa control system, leased solar (49 panels), new landscaping and irrigation, and extensive upgrades for effortless modern living. Set on land you own (fee simple), just a short stroll to fine restaurants, cafes, bars, shopping, museums, galleries, and the vibrant Downtown Palm Springs, 1075 S. Manzanita is more than a home, it's a museum-quality architectural heirloom, rich in Hollywood history, sculptural poetry, and Mid-Century Modern refinement. Offering a rare trifecta of location, architectural significance, and celebrity provenance, this is a true connoisseur's acquisition, an opportunity to own one of Palm Springs' most significant and soulful homes. STR allowed (Deepwell is currently below 13%).
