TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH:History Makes A Debut- Presenting Villa Paradiso, a legendary gated compound set on nearly four flat acres, the largest residential lot in historic Old Las Palmas. The storied estate includes a significant pool house built for Cary Grant, who would later give Villa Paradiso its enduring name. Across the grounds, sprawling green lawns, approximately 200 mature palm trees, four separate residences, and unobstructed mountain views create a scale and sense of privacy almost impossible to replicate in such a prime Palm Springs location.Originally built in 1928 by developer and builder Alva H. Hicks, a member of Palm Springs' first City Council and an instrumental figure in the city's incorporation, Villa Paradiso is currently identified as a Class 3 Site. Its romantic Palm Beach-inspired main residence retains the architectural character of its era, while the estate's remarkable lineage of notable former owners and decades of stories tied to Hollywood and Palm Springs society have added to its mystique for nearly a century.Behind handcrafted stone walls, verdant pathways connect the residences through art-filled vistas, sculptural elements, and a classical fountain. The approximately 7,500-square-foot main residence features an expansive veranda connecting its two wings, highlighted by an Italian rotunda with hand-painted ceilings. A large formal motor court and climate-controlled four-car garage complement the estate's impressive scale.

Offered fully furnished, it's ready for weekends, full-time living, or your next desert chapter. And then there's the parking: off-street space for up to seven vehicles, including a gated concrete RV pad, two-car garage, and generous driveway parking. With a lot this large, buyers may also want to explore future ADU potential. For buyers considering short-term rental use, Oasis del Sol is currently well below Palm Springs' 20% neighborhood vacation-rental cap, making this an especially interesting property to investigate. And as year-end approaches, it may also be worth asking your CPA whether a Short-Term Rental Tax Strategy could apply to your situation. Full-time home. Stylish second residence. Potential STR. However you use it, this one delivers sun, style, space, and opportunity. (Buyer must apply for their own STR license; availability is based on City data as of the date of this listing input and may change.)

This amazing home, with its open-concept, spacious light-filled living spaces, 10'-6" ceilings and an expansive wall of Fleetwood glass sliders, truly showcases panoramic views of the Little San Bernadino Mountains and the verdant Escena golf course. These commanding views are nicely framed by a deluxe pool, spa, and garden, which are just steps away from the living and dining areas -- making indoor/outdoor living an effortless reality. Whether seen while you are relaxing in the clean modern lines of the interior spaces, or dining al fresco, the light on the mountains from morning sunrises and golden sunsets can be simply spectacular! Cooks, both gourmet and casual, will love the roomy open kitchen with its modern yet elegant European-style cabinetry by Europlak Cucine, quartz countertops, Bosch appliances, and ample storage space! The large island beckons gatherings and affords an open view through the great room to the pool, golf course and mountains beyond. Not only is the primary suite palatial in size, but it shares the same orientation and stunning views as the great room, and is ideally located with direct access to the pool, spa, outdoor shower, patio, and garden. The suite's spacious spa-like bath is both soothing and practical with double vanities, walk-in shower, large soaking tub, and double closets, cleverly outfitted with custom-designed-and-built closet essentials.The junior or guest suite (with attached bath), located near the entry, is far from the "activity center" of the home, thus providing a quiet and private retreat. A high horizontal "picture" window perfectly frames Mt Jacinto, and another large, operable window opens out to the private side garden, with soft light from the north.The open den/office with its adjacent full bath, functions wonderfully as configured. But for those who might want a more defined space, it could easily and economically be converted into either a fully enclosed room, or one with an operable glass or innovative architectural partition. The space is generously-sized and lends itself beautifully to various uses.Built in 2015 on an oversized lot and first occupied in 2017 by the current owners, 640 Equinox Way has been exceptionally well cared for and meticulously maintained, with numerous strategic improvements made over the years, including owned solar (for reduced energy costs), automatic blinds in the living and dining area, multi-zoned surround sound speakers throughout the property and on the back patio, ring doorbell, and programmable thermostats and security system. If you're looking for a move-in ready home that has been scrupulously maintained and lovingly cared for, you'll want to see this Escena Panorama model by award-winning builders, Alta Verde Group.
