—DINAH SHORE ESTATE x S.I.A. PROJECTS—
Palm Springs, California. 2020
You’re likely already a Leonardo DiCaprio fan from watching him star in hit after hit, from Titanic to The Revenant, but you probably didn’t know the actor also has a hand in the world of real estate. This midcentury-modern gem, originally built for actress and singer Dinah Shore in 1964, is currently owned by DiCaprio—and that’s not the end of its celebrity connections. The ranch-style estate was designed by renowned architect Donald Wexler, who pioneered the steel post-and-beam design, in the Old Las Palmas neighborhood of Palm Springs, where Hollywood icons including Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, and Elvis Presley once vacationed.
The best part of all: You can call this home yours to the tune of $4,500 a night (the house is only available for vacations or events). Past the dramatic steel-beamed walkway, the house opens to sprawling light-filled interiors framed by the San Jacinto Mountains, thanks to walls of glass throughout. Showcasing midcentury-modern interiors, the single-story home offers expansive rooms ideal for entertaining, including a sunken living room that has a fireplace, grand piano, and cocktail bar; a formal dining room; a kitchen with a breakfast bar; and an office/media room. The master suite, one of six bedrooms, has a sitting room and a spacious spalike bath with two saunas. Set on 1.3 lush acres, the house boasts multiple terraces for dining and relaxing, all easily accessible from the main living areas. A guesthouse overlooking a pool, a tennis court, and a tennis pavilion complete this ultimate desert oasis [Architectural Digest].
