Description

The Buddy Rich Estate

Nestled within the iconic Old Las Palmas District, The Buddy Rich Estate invites you to indulge in the allure of a historic tennis haven sprawling over 1.2 acres. This remarkable property offers an oasis of tranquility, tucked away yet conveniently close to downtown Palm Springs.

Welcome to a secluded paradise where history meets modern luxury. The estate boasts a meticulously renovated three-bedroom main house, accompanied by two distinct guesthouses, creating a total of six bedrooms. Enveloped by lush gardens, a refreshing pool, and a sunken tennis court, The Buddy Rich Estate provides an array of spaces for solitude or convivial gatherings.

Elegance Redefined in the Main House

Step into understated elegance within the midcentury main house, thoughtfully designed by Meyer Davis. Each room exudes a sense of relaxed luxury, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. With every bedroom opening to private terraces and the expansive grounds, and a harmonious blend of airy openness and cozy intimacy throughout the living spaces, this residence is a sanctuary of comfort.

Refined Comfort in the Guesthouses

The estate's two guesthouses, offering a harmonious blend of rustic charm and refined aesthetics, beckon as serene havens of light and comfort. The Pool house features a spacious living room with a dual-sided fireplace, complemented by two tastefully appointed bedrooms. Meanwhile, The Studio presents an elegant and expansive retreat that opens onto a delightful private patio.

A Paradise for Outdoor Living

Immerse yourself in the enchanting grounds of The Buddy Rich Estate, reminiscent of a private club where leisure knows no bounds. Stroll through expansive lawns, meander past ancient palms, and gather around fire pits or beneath thatched palapas. Whether sharing cocktails by the oversized fire pit or savoring an al fresco dinner in the shade of a palapa, every moment is a testament to refined relaxation.

A Glimpse into History

Step back in time and imagine the legendary jazz drummer Buddy Rich retreating to this very estate. A haven for one of history's most influential drummers, it's a place where fireside conversations with musical greats like Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong could unfold. In an era when Palm Springs' Old Las Palmas district was also home to Hollywood icons like Lucille Ball, Dinah Shore, Liberace, and Jack Warner, this estate encapsulates a unique blend of cultural significance and timeless elegance.
