SMOKE TREE RANCH
Tucked inside an ultra-exclusive Palm Springs community, along roads with no names, is the original five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home that inspired every other home in Smoke Tree Ranch. The 1930s-era desert ranch has been named a Class 1 Historic Resource and it carries with it the unique imprints of architectural heavyweights Garrett van Pelt, Jr. and Albert Frey. With spectacular views of the San Jacinto mountains, this 5,504 square-foot ranch offers owners a hidden retreat that some never even knew existed.
EXCEPTIONAL EXCLUSIVITY
Smoke Tree Ranch is a community of noble lore, where some of the most recognizable names in business and finance escape to appreciate a more rustic, more incognito lifestyle. Homes within the community rarely make it to the market, as families hold them for generations. This original ranch set the tone for the community with its asymmetrical design, its board and batten exterior, its shake roof, and its overhanging eaves and covered patios.
A WORLD AWAY
Old West nostalgia collides with modern living on a ranch that embraces the mature Palm Springs desert flora as equally as it fosters fluid, indoor-outdoor living environments. Classic design elements hearken to the ranch’s influences, from clerestory windows that filter natural light to a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace that warms the home on chilly evenings.
The U-shaped footprint of the home, anchored by a rectangular pool and spa, oozes rustic charm with its exposed beam ceilings and wood-paneled walls. Its sale includes pre-approved renovation plans for modern additions that align with preservation standards, from an additional three-car garage to a new pool pavilion.
