🔥 Welcome to Frank Sinatra's secret desert hideaway, "Villa Magio". Presented by Markus Cantor, Co-Founder and CEO at St. James + Canter Luxury Real Estate of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.
A secluded and private escape, which Frank Sinatra personally helped design and build, Villa Maggio offers commanding views of the mountains and valleys, three buildings, a lighted helipad, and 7.5 acres of land. Sinatra’s choice for the name of the estate references a character he won an Oscar for in From Here to Eternity. His directions to Architect Ross Patton reflect a need to provide high-profile guests, including members of the Rat Pack, with the ultimate in luxury and comfort as well as the utmost in privacy and security.
In selecting a location, Sinatra opted for a granite mountaintop overlooking Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley to take advantage of the endless views and the fact that the 4,300 foot elevation provides a more comfortable, temperate climate than the desert valley below. The views are on full display from a variety of locations within the compound: the tennis court, pool and spa, formal dining room, and numerous decks. As a backdrop for the majority of the estate, the vistas are totally surreal and could easily be used by the local tourism board for advertising purposes.
The character and style of the home have been lovingly preserved and maintained for the next owner to enjoy. With a total square footage of approximately 6,428, which includes eight bedrooms, 12.5 bathrooms, and nine fireplaces, this estate offer something for everyone and an unprecedented opportunity to own a piece of history.
