FRANK SINATRA'S DESERT HIDEAWAY-1970: Frank Sinatra's Villa Maggio, a one-of-a-kind collector's trophy. Set high above the Coachella Valley, the compound represents the only residence Sinatra was personally instrumental in designing and building for his own use. He chose this incredible mountain retreat after the frenetic days and nights performing in Las Vegas to create a private sanctuary where he could entertain the Rat Pack, visiting royalty, global dignitaries and fellow icons with absolute discretion! Named for the character that earned him an Oscar in From Here to Eternity, the unique estate preserves its original mid-century lodge style and stands as the last intact Sinatra property available for purchase, a piece of American cultural history. Secluded mountain setting: Perched at roughly 4,300 feet, the 7.5acre site enjoys a temperate climate (approximately 15-20 degrees cooler at then the desert below) and unobstructed 360 degree views of mountains, national monuments and city lights. A gated drive ensures privacy, yet Palm Desert's luxury shopping and dining are only 20 minutes away and Palm Springs International Airport is 26 miles by helicopter. Main residence: The 6,428 square foot main house blends rustic-modern design with locally sourced stone, hardwood floors and high vaulted ceilings. There are 5 bedrooms and 5 baths, 7 fireplaces and 2 kitchens. A massive deck overlooks the desert floor while multiple fireplaces and exposed beams create an intimate lodge ambience. Guest and pool houses: A 3 suite guest house, each suite offers a private view deck, stone fireplace, kitchenette and bath; there is even a secret passage between 2 bedrooms. The pool house, warmed by a stone fireplace, features two saunas, a kitchenette and a large gathering area where Sinatra and friends gathered are perfect for after tennis cocktails or watch-collector presentations. Resort amenities: Designed for and by the entertainer, the compound includes a resort style pool, lighted tennis court, expansive outdoor spaces, helipad and parking for 24 cars. A large motor court easily accommodates a collector's garage of classic cars. Extensive terraces and a mountain-view deck create ideal settings for alfresco dining. Sustainable craftsmanship: Wide overhanging eaves provide shade and reduce the ecological footprint, while locally sourced materials ground the estate in its desert surroundings. Renovations have remained faithful to Sinatra's original vision, maintaining authentic charm while integrating modern comforts. With its provenance, scale and amenities, Villa Maggio appeals to collectors of fine estates, historic properties, watches, aircraft and classic automobiles. Sinatra designed the compound not only to escape the desert heat but to host friends and VIP guests with unmatched privacy, security and luxury. The helipad and 24car motor court speak to aviators and car enthusiasts, while the hillside setting and mid-century architecture attract connoisseurs of Americana. As the last remaining unaltered Frank Sinatra estate, this property represents a unique opportunity to own a living piece of cultural history. Whether acquired as a personal retreat, an addition to a portfolio of collectible assets or as a showcase for an art or automobile collection, Villa Maggio stands alone in significance and appeal. Potential for additional structures to be built on property (Buyer to verify). Private sale or trade inquiries are invited.
