Hacienda San Jacinto is a secluded three-bedroom villa set against the backdrop of the San Jacinto foothills in the Mesa neighborhood of Palm Springs. With panoramic mountain views and complete privacy, this Spanish-style estate is just minutes from downtown, golf courses, parks, and scenic hiking trails.
Originally built as a custom residence with a story rooted in Hollywood legend, the villa was famously acquired sight unseen by Jerry Weintraub during a poker game with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and George Hamilton. Today, the home maintains its classic charm with terracotta roof tiles, stacked-stone exteriors, and thoughtfully landscaped desert gardens, giving the property the ambiance of a European villa.
The outdoor living spaces are designed to fully embrace the desert climate. Guests can unwind by the pool or recline under the shade of a handcrafted pergola. The expansive patio includes a large saline hot tub built from natural stone, a firepit nestled at the base of the mountains, and a dining area with a family-style table beside a fireplace. A built-in barbecue makes outdoor meals effortless and enjoyable.
Inside, the villa features an open-concept layout that balances warmth and sophistication. The main living area welcomes guests with two full-length ivory sofas, a stacked-stone fireplace, and walls of French doors that open to reveal the surrounding gardens. Adjacent is a gourmet kitchen outfitted for both everyday cooking and special occasions, with a connected formal dining area that completes the home’s inviting flow.
Hacienda San Jacinto is a tranquil desert retreat that blends timeless design with natural beauty and a rich sense of place. Its combination of historic charm, modern amenities, and stunning setting offers a uniquely memorable stay in the heart of Palm Springs.
