Mid-Century Modern Celebrity Estate By Wexler! Alan Ladd Estate! Private! Spectacular Mountain Views!

Palm Springs City ID# 1481-4592

THIS FORMER HOME of cowboy and tough-guy actor Alan Ladd, who starred in “This Gun for Hire” and "Shane," boasts movie-star quality throughout: gated entryway, vibrantly appointed, huge entertaining spaces, comfortable mid-century modern furniture, open layout, and dramatic views of the San Jacinto Mountains. Also noteworthy, this luxury quintessential mid-century Palm Springs estate was designed by the acclaimed architect Donald Wexler whose elegant and cool designs are humble and focused on the beauty of the natural surrounds.. This property boasts a beautiful pool and jacuzzi and is bright and minimalist allowing the sunlight to grab the spotlight and dance with the vibrant interior decor. So private and exclusive, this property was selected to be part of the very selective “2019 A Peek Behind the Hedges” Modernism Week Tour.

Marble makes a cameo in the dining room table and in the glistening master bath. Three of the five bedrooms feature their own en-suite bathroom providing the ultimate in privacy.

With 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers, and 2 ovens, Sub Zero refrigerator, the kitchen is not only “kosher ready” but ready for a formal dining experience or just a backyard BBQ. The kitchen is fully appointed with every cooking amenity and waiting for your engagement or get-together.



Our Starter Kit to you is designed to get you through your first day only, it may very well get you through 2 or 3 days as many of our guests will attest to, but our design is to get you through your first day before you may need to go to a grocery store.

Perfect Palm Springs Stay

From the initial inquiry to the day of check out we were impressed with everything! Excellent communication and top notch customer service. The home is absolutely perfect and very comfortable. The Las Palmas neighborhood is fun to stay in - we learned something new about the celebrity homes everyday we walked the neighborhood. This home is close to everything!

Hangin’ with the Stars

We are four couples who have known each other for over 50 years, having met when the men were young Army officers in Augsburg, Germany. We have stayed in contact over all these years, traveling together whenever we can. The Alan Ladd house provided a relaxing, comfortable week for us to laugh, retell stories and just enjoy being together. We think your group will also enjoy this lovely, historic house as well.

Our Palm Springs adventure

A group of friends from the East coast visited Palm Springs to reunite with friends who have retired there. We all fell in love w the PS area. Our lovely modernist home away from home was perfect! The Alan Ladd house is a dream and accommodated all of our needs. Mod Mansions delivers - you’re surrounded by the mid-century look at every glance, but have all the conveniences you need! We’ll definitely be seeing you again!!

Fun house for family vacay

We had a great week at this property. Spacious, well-appointed, and great location. Dave, the property manager was super helpful. My family loved the lemon, orange and grapefruit trees in the backyard. Also, with a large group the 2 refrigerators, washer/dryers and dishwashers came in very handy!

Beautiful relaxing home and very comfortable for our party of 9 and 2 dogs. David was great to show us all the ins and outs of the house, and they had everything we needed. We went in April and we kind of wished we had the pool heated for our stay, it would have been more comfortable being out there! Otherwise it was great

Had an amazing time celebrating my husbands 50th! We had 3 other couples and the house was perfect for entertaining and housing many guests. We all had our own bathrooms and all the rooms were spacious. House well stocked. Best part was David the host. I couldn't pick up my hubby's birthday cake - David was gracious enough to pick it up and drive it over to the house. Amazing host and house - RENT THIS PROPERTY!

Great for large family stay

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this remarkable property. With a group of 10 family members, the abundance of space was a breath of fresh air. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. One of the standout features was the fact that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The patio and pool area quickly became the focal point of our stay. The breathtaking views of the mountains provided a stunning backdrop as we lounged by the pool and enjoyed breakfast outdoors. From the initial booking to our departure, the property manager was responsive and made sure all of our needs were met.

Golf and fun

Great property and superb location. We got stuck with weird cold weather so the hot tub was a big deal and we wished it didn’t need to be re-“turned on” every 5 minutes. That required getting OUT of the hot tub. But host was accommodating and overall loved our experience.

Fabulous Property

Our stay at the Alan Ladd estate was a perfect get away with good friends. The house was immaculate and big enough for 10 people. The pool and hot tub were very well maintained and heated to a perfect temperature since we paid for the pool and spa to be heated. The house is within walking distance of restaurants and shops. The Owner/Manager couldn’t have been nicer and more available. The kitchen and bar were very well stocked. I highly recommend this property for anyone traveling to Palm Springs. It is in a very desirable neighborhood and the history with Hollywood makes it extra special. We would definitely stay at this property again.
