Zeitlose Eleganz In Einem Historischen Anwesen In Palm Springs

Step back in time at the Blankenhorn-Gilmore Residence, the foundational private estate of Smoke Tree Ranch and a unanimously designated Class 1 Historic Resource. Built in 1930 by master architect Garrett Van Pelt Jr. and sensitively expanded by the iconic Albert Frey, this five-bedroom, seven-bathroom sanctuary served as the architectural blueprint for the entire enclave. Set on one point eight deeded acres across three lots plus an exclusive view lot, the five thousand five hundred four-square-foot home perfectly captures the Romance of the Old West with its signature Ranch-style horizontality and board-and-batten exterior. The interiors are a masterclass in rustic sophistication, featuring dramatic exposed-beam ceilings, natural wood-paneled walls, and a massive floor-to-ceiling red brick fireplace. Wooden casement windows frame unobstructed, panoramic mountain views and lead to a private backyard oasis complete with a rectangular pool and integrated spa. This is a rare opportunity to steward a piece of Palm Springs history once owned by the Ranch’s principal developer, L. Mac Blankenhorn, offering a level of pedigree and privacy that is simply unmatched.
