Description Desert Shadow: Palm Springs

Looking for a desert escape? Set in the sought-after Araby neighbourhood, this Palm Springs retreat ticks lots of boxes. The backyard is a highlight, with mountain views, palm trees, and a private pool and spa that light up after dark for evenings under the stars. Inside, curl up by the fire with a book from the library, enjoy the sunny balcony, or work in the alcove with pool views. The kitchen’s a bit dated, but it’s perfectly functional. You can walk to local restaurants, but with a car, you'll be able to fully enjoy downtown Palm Springs, Palm Canyon Drive, and nearby hiking trails.

Home truths:

*The traditional decor in the kitchen might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
