Bing Crosby's Iconic Southern California Estate Hits the Market for $4.5 Million
One of the most prominent American entertainers of all time, Bing Crosby was a legend on the radio waves and silver screen, and his former estate in Rancho Mirage, California will forever honor his legacy as the country's first multimedia star. The namesake property that resides just outside of Palm Springs epitomizes the midcentury glamour of both Southern California and that Crosby himself enjoyed, offering one lucky buyer the opportunity to revel in the bygone era and preserve his legacy for years to come.
The 1.36-acre Bing Crosby Estate has just listed with David Emerson & Alexandra Trejo of Compass for $4.5 million and offers a truly idyllic retreat for lovers of this desert region, entertaining, and of course, the glitz and gloss of yesteryear. The 6,700 square-foot midcentury home honors the era of Crosby's heyday while featuring plenty of modern amenities, from the floor plan to the professional-grade kitchen. Plus, you simply can't beat the picturesque panoramic mountain views that can easily be enjoyed with the house's indoor-outdoor flow from the pool, hot tub, or putting green. Pocket doors and an expansive covered patio make a perfect spot for happy hour after a round of golf or a day at the spa. The outdoor kitchen makes it easy for the consummate host and hostess to remain at the center of it all.
The six-bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom home is equally as romantic and private as it is perfect for hosting fabulous soirees. The immaculate primary suite features 1,400 square feet filled with luxurious amenities like a cozy fireplace, indoor and outdoor showers, a separate tub, and an expansive walk-in closet. While there are several ensuite guest spaces to enjoy, loved ones can enjoy a juicy piece of pop culture history by staying in the infamous "JFK Wing" on the opposite side of the residence where he and Marilyn Monroe stayed on several occasions. The charming casita houses two bedrooms and bathrooms, respectively, plus a full kitchen and living area for an ultra-private escape.
The Bing Crosby Estate resides in the Thunderbird Heights neighborhood, which offers high-level, 24-hour manned security for the area's distinguished residents. It's right off the Thunderbird Country Club and just minutes from the area's best dining, shopping, and other major attractions. We can just imagine Saturday afternoon pool parties à la Slim Aarons at this pristine home and plenty of memorable nights spent underneath the stars with Crosby's tunes as an appropriate soundtrack.
