THIS FORMER HOME of cowboy and tough-guy actor Alan Ladd, who starred in “This Gun for Hire” and "Shane," boasts movie-star quality throughout: gated entryway, vibrantly appointed, huge entertaining spaces, comfortable mid-century modern furniture, open layout, and dramatic views of the San Jacinto Mountains. Also noteworthy, this luxury quintessential mid-century Palm Springs estate was designed by the acclaimed architect Donald Wexler whose elegant and cool designs are humble and focused on the beauty of the natural surrounds.. This property boasts a beautiful pool and jacuzzi and is bright and minimalist allowing the sunlight to grab the spotlight and dance with the vibrant interior decor. So private and exclusive, this property was selected to be part of the very selective “2019 A Peek Behind the Hedges” Modernism Week Tour.

Marble makes a cameo in the dining room table and in the glistening master bath. Three of the five bedrooms feature their own en-suite bathroom providing the ultimate in privacy.

Amazing Host & Property
Had an amazing time celebrating my husbands 50th! We had 3 other couples and the house was perfect for entertaining and housing many guests. We all had our own bathrooms and all the rooms were spacious. House well stocked. Best part was David the host. I couldn't pick up my hubby's birthday cake - David was gracious enough to pick it up and drive it over to the house. Amazing host and house - RENT THIS PROPERTY!

Quarantine times
This is a classic mid century home. We enjoyed the neighborhood, and especially the back yard. We had home grown citrus daily. We went out to lunch often and had great weather. Too bad many things were closed and restaurants were outdoors only.

Our Palm Springs adventure
A group of friends from the East coast visited Palm Springs to reunite with friends who have retired there. We all fell in love w the PS area. Our lovely modernist home away from home was perfect! The Alan Ladd house is a dream and accommodated all of our needs. Mod Mansions delivers - you’re surrounded by the mid-century look at every glance, but have all the conveniences you need! We’ll definitely be seeing you again!!

Hangin’ with the Stars
We are four couples who have known each other for over 50 years, having met when the men were young Army officers in Augsburg, Germany. We have stayed in contact over all these years, traveling together whenever we can. The Alan Ladd house provided a relaxing, comfortable week for us to laugh, retell stories and just enjoy being together. We think your group will also enjoy this lovely, historic house as well.
