Little Tuscany Celebrity Estate
EST. PRIOR TO 2008
Time Magazine’s November 14, 1960 cover story described this home as an “airy, glass pleasure dome.”
Formerly, Frederick Loewe’s “Little Camelot” - can now be your mid-century modern desert domicile. "Set on a boulder strewn hillside, the estate offers unparalleled, jaw dropping, 360 degree views of the San Jacinto Mountains, Coachella Valley below and extensively landscaped grounds and paths. The view extends for miles across the valley and mountains. At all times of the day, from the early hours of the morning as the sun rises over the valley until the sun sets and the city lights sparkle alive, this estate offers the best vantage point in Palm Springs bar none. There are over 100 olive trees, 33 palm trees, numerous flowers and cacti and a massive rose garden which was designed and planted by Frederick Loewe himself." Sounds like the one of the sweetest soiree spots we've ever heard of.

Mid-Century Modern
Venue Setting
This stunning, glass walled, 5000 SF single story mid century modern home on three sprawling and secluded acres, built in 1956 and updated for all modern conveniences, was Frederick Loewe’s “Little Camelot”. It is a private, self contained resort, featuring four hotel style bedrooms with en suite bathrooms (plus powder room), a tennis court, two par 3 golf holes, grotto style spa, pool, waterfalls, fountains, sculptures, original art and an authentic Palm Springs feel to the decor. Time Magazine’s November 14, 1960 cover story described this home as an “airy, glass pleasure dome.” The exquisite master suite is extremely spacious at over 700 square feet. Luxurious and comfortable, it features two massive sliding glass doors which integrate the indoors to the outdoors and open to the outdoor swimming pool/patio area. Awake in the sumptuous king bed to the awe-inspiring view as the desert sun rises over the valley. Frederick Loewe so loved the views his unique property provided that he placed his bed and nightstand on a turntable, allowing him to enjoy the vista from multiple angles throughout the day. This feature remains. Heavy floor to ceiling draperies block light and provide privacy should it be desired. Additional amenities in this room include built-in quarter sawn book cases filled with books, paneled gas fireplace, 42” flat screen HDTV, cable, Blu-Ray, desk, computer, printer, seating area with sofa, upholstered chairs, ottomans and a coffee table.
