Villa Paradiso Setting a new standard for historic Palm Springs luxury, this legendary gated compound occupies nearly four flat acres—the largest residential lot in historic Old Las Palmas. Defined by sprawling green lawns, approximately 200 mature palm trees, and unobstructed mountain views, the estate reflects a scale and sense of privacy almost impossible to replicate in such a prime location. Originally built in 1928 by developer and builder Alva H. Hicks, a member of Palm Springs' first City Council, Villa Paradiso is a recognized Class 3 Site. The storied estate features a significant pool house built for Cary Grant, who would later give the property its enduring name. Behind handcrafted stone walls, verdant pathways connect four separate residences through art-filled vistas, sculptural elements, and a classical fountain. The approximately 7,500-square-foot main residence retains the romantic Palm Beach-inspired architectural character of its era. Its expansive veranda connects the two wings, highlighted by an exquisite Italian rotunda with hand-painted ceilings. Designed for both intimate living and grand-scale entertaining, the estate balances nearly a century of Hollywood and Palm Springs history. Additional highlights include a large formal motor court, a climate-controlled four-car garage, and a remarkable lineage of notable former owners that has added to the property's mystique for generations. 📍 Visit Our Physical Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jd873mT3D3LRx... 🏢 Business Name: Mike + Maria Patakas Team- Desert Sotheby's International Realty 🏠 Address: 111 S Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs, CA 92262 DRE 01264926 | 01785498
