Thunderbird Heights, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


Today's home in Ranch Mirage, California seems geared for the person who embraces a rather healthy lifestyle. This hilltop estate in Thunderbird Heights sits on around 3.29 acres with gorgeous vistas all around. The main house has three bedrooms and an an elevator, living room, formal dining room, large kitchen and an office. The lifestyle rooms include a gym and a tanning/massage room. The main house and guest house patios each have a mist system for comfort in the dessert heat. The guest house also has three bedrooms, an elevator, a kitchen w/great room. Pocket doors open to 20 feet to connect the indoors with the outdoors and a private spa and a rock waterfall and lagoon. An expansive virtual tour is here. This home is listed at $11 million, a drop from $12.5 million, the previous list price. Zillow's zestimate is $4,622,178 but my far less analytical guesstimate is that is sells in the $8 to $9 million range.

Villa Roberge, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


Today's home earns extra points for its eclectic style. Villa Roberge in Rancho Mirage, California has a little bit of everything. Old world, new world it's all here. The property include a 9500 square foot home, a couch house with a bedroom and a full kitchen, a garage apartment which is a one bedroom and a studio with a loft bedroom all on 1.5 acres. The main house is completely idiosyncratic with huge ultra high beamed ceilings and custom leaded stained glass windows. The master suite has his and her baths and a view to the lagoon pool. It is listed at $12 million. After the jump, I'm a bit in love with the oven hoods in the kitchen.

Brangelina's Retro Fantasy House for Sale

Filed under: Estates

While Brad and Angelina don't own (and to my knowledge never have) this beautiful 1957 Rancho Mirage property, it was the site of a memorable photo shoot featured in W magazine shortly after the pair got together. The glam, retro shoot had a perfect backdrop in the Kenaston Residence, which is a landmark residence designed by architect E. Stewart Williams. It has been completely restored, staying true to its mid-century modernist roots, with natural rock, wood and frosted glass. It has a large swimming pool, partially surrounded by the U-shaped house and lots of floor-to-ceiling windows. All the retro-chic furnishings, including Eames chairs and Nelson lamps, are included.

In terms of details, the house is 5,000-sq. ft. with 4 bedrooms (2 master suites) and 3/5 baths. It is on a 1/2 acre lot with 50 palm trees. The asking price is $2,875,000 and there is a property tax discount due to its landmark status. Lots of photos of the house after the jump.
