Description
Paul trousdale's private palm springs hideaway: the trousdale villa, racquet club garden villas. step into a rare chapter of palm springs history with this singular mid-century modern villa, the only residence in the iconic racquet club garden villas personally selected and, according to local lore, lived in by legendary developer paul trousdale himself. the trousdale villa stands completely alone in its distinction: the only home in the community with its own private pool, framed by four patios, each oriented to a different cardinal direction for unparalleled natural light and seasonal comfort. begin your day with soft eastern sun, savor southern warmth in winter, watch the sun set behind the san jacinto mountains to the west, or unwind in the tranquil northern shade. the result is a sublime expression of indoor-outdoor living, where architecture and nature merge to create an effortless, resort-style experience.located within racquet club garden villas/cottages west (rccw), a class 1 historic district, this community is among palm springs' most architecturally revered enclaves. designed by renowned mid-century architect william f. cody and developed by trousdale in 1960, rccw consists of just 37 cottages, each envisioned as part of an intimate, luxury retreat. lush landscaping by phil shipley and dudley trudgett weaves through the grounds in the form of meandering paths, peaceful ponds, a gentle stream, and soaring palms, all dramatically framed by the san jacinto backdrop. inside, the villa is both sculptural and serene, showcasing cody's signature post-and-beam design and walls of glass. the architectural integrity remains intact, enhanced by thoughtful, high-quality upgrades that honor the home's historic pedigree while embracing contemporary comfort. (please contact the listing agent for a detailed list of improvements). while the resort-style pool and spa are just steps away, the trousdale villa is a private world unto itself. rccw is a perennial favorite of modernism week and has been featured across numerous books, design magazines, and architectural publications, a reflection of its cultural importance and visual distinction. eligible for the mills act, the property may offer significant tax savings (30p%) for owners committed to its preservation. the hoa includes water, trash, exterior maintenance, roofing, landscape care, access to the community pool and spa, and ongoing upkeep of the iconic water features throughout the grounds. with fee-simple land ownership (you own the land), short-term rental eligibility (14-day minimum), and historic status, this villa is more than a home, it is an investment in legacy. properties of this caliber, history, and privacy rarely come to market. conveniently located minutes from the uptown design district, downtown palm springs, the aerial tramway, and world-class hiking, dining, and cultural amenities, the trousdale villa is a lifestyle, a legacy, and a living work of art, a one-of-a-kind opportunity for the truly discerning buyer.
