A
Palm Springs estate has drawn comparisons to the Flintstones' home, thanks to its stone age aesthetic. The 9,819-square-foot property features a 7-bedroom, 8-bath layout with stucco walls, wood beams, and stone floors throughout.
The estate's interior designer, Steve Chase, was known for his bold desert style, which blended organic materials with a desert-inspired color palette. His designs were popular among celebrities in the 1980s, including Farrah Fawcett and Gene Hackman.
Located in the historic Old Las Palmas neighborhood, the property sits on 2 acres of land landscaped with giant rocks, palm trees, and a resort-like pool. The estate's unique style has generated headlines and comments since its listing for $10.99 million earlier this year.
The home features a modern kitchen, media room, atrium, and breakfast area with panoramic views of the San Jacinto Mountains. A two-bed, two-bath guest house sits nearby, along with a tennis court and pavilion. The property tax bill exceeds $86,000 annually, making it a significant expense for potential buyers.
The estate's furnishings are included in the listing price, which features custom-built pieces that complement the home's organic architecture. Despite its unique style, the property is quintessential Palm Springs, reflecting the city's midcentury-modern architecture and Hollywood ties.
