Property Description
The Mesa Bungalows is an exquisite one-of-a-kind luxury retreat nestled at the base of the beautiful San Jacinto Mountains. Formerly owned by filmmaker/screenwriter Josh Evans, the son of Hollywood icons Ali MacGraw and Robert Evans and stepson of Steve McQueen, this fabulous Spanish-style gated estate is located in the sought-after celebrity enclave of The Mesa in South Palm Springs. Extensively renovated by its present owners, Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button and interior designer Brittny Button, the property's unique style of vibrant pinks and palm leaf green decor was inspired by the glamorous Beverly Hills Hotel and Jayne Mansfield's legendary Pink Palace. Built in 1937, this charming hillside two-story stucco villa has original architectural details and four separate ensuite bedrooms, including one with a private sun deck. Situated on two lots, totaling 14,811 square feet, the meticulously maintained grounds offer a kidney-shaped pool, spa, cascading waterfall, white iron gazebo, and water fountain. The relaxing upper patio is ideal for alfresco dining with an outdoor kitchen, built-in gas grill, pergola, fireplace, and custom decorative daybed. This is the perfect short-term vacation rental investment opportunity or private desert getaway. The Mesa neighborhood has no land lease, no HOA, and is currently below the city's 20% cap for short-term vacation rental permits. A short walk to Moorten Botanical Gardens, hiking trails, and several popular restaurants, such as Mr. Lyons, Minerva's, GiGi's, King's Highway, El Mirasol, Gabino's, Miro's, and Bar Cecil.
