1075 S MANZANITA AVENUE, PALM SPRINGS CA 92264

Welcome to 1075 S. Manzanita, an iconic 1964 architectural gem by Charles W. Doty, blending timeless mid-century innovation with the allure of Old Hollywood glamour. Once the quiet desert retreat of Academy Award-winner Loretta Young, this curvilinear masterpiece draws on the design influence of Niemeyer and Lautner, showcasing an orbit-like layout, dramatic circular terraces, and sweeping cinematic views of the San Jacinto Mountains. Located in the legendary Deepwell neighborhood, in South Palm Springs, an enclave steeped in celebrity history and architectural significance, frequently featured during Modernism Week and home to stars like William Holden, as well as renowned mid-century architects such as E. Stewart Williams, Lapham, and Wexler-Harrison, this 3,510 SqFt architectural home sits on a premium, oversized southwest-facing corner lot, ideal for capturing natural light, golden-hour sunsets, and serene mountain vistas in total tranquility and privacy. At the center of the home is a show-stopping circular living room with soaring 14-ft origami-inspired ceilings, wraparound glass walls, terrazzo flooring, and a suspended fireplace, an entertainer's dream and a design lover's sanctuary. The koi pond entry and sculptural garden paths further enhance the home's quiet elegance and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. This luxury estate has been upgraded with designer finishes and modern amenities, including 49 leased solar panels, and three HVAC zones. The secluded primary suite is a true private retreat, opening to a cascading waterfall and open-air shower. Two additional en-suite bedrooms offer privacy and either pool or mountain views, while a detached office/studio/gym with a private entrance and separate A/C provides the perfect space for remote work or creative endeavors. Set on a 15,245 SqFt fee-simple lot, the landscaped grounds feature mature citrus, fig, guava, and plumeria trees, plus tall privacy hedges. A circular gated driveway offers a grand arrival and ample parking for multiple cars, including a two-car garage, ideal for car collectors or entertaining in style. Just minutes from the vibrant Downtown Palm Springs scene, shopping, fine dining, art galleries, and museums, this one-of-a-kind residence also qualifies for short-term rentals (Deepwell currently under 13%). A rare architectural trophy home with celebrity provenance, iconic design pedigree, and a soulfully modern lifestyle, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the discerning collector or design connoisseur.
