Located in the heart of Rancho Mirage, The Pallazo is one of the most desirable properties in the Palm Springs area. Situated on five incredibly landscaped acres, it seems a “Paradise Lost” unto itself – while still being located within several minutes of posh hotels, incredible shopping and a trove of upscale restaurants.   Construction of this magnificent 18,000 square feet property was completed in early 2008. Mediterranean in exterior elevation and appearance, and crafted with old world adherence to detail, this architectural masterpiece harkens back to days of yesteryear, reminiscent of an understated elegance, very seldom found in this day and age.   THE GROUNDS   Access to the Estate is afforded through a set of double gates which stem off the white plastered privacy walls surrounding the property. A large meandering circular drive, with adjacent pond and water feature, directs visitors to the massive Main House entryway. A split access drive, with one drive leading under the grand porto cachere while the secondary drive allows for dual car off loading for The Pallazo Estate events. Lush foliage and trees are strategically planted along the property perimeter, thus assuring maximum privacy and beauty.   The rear grounds of the Estate are nothing short of spectacular. With panoramic views of the San Gregornio Mountains the visages are breathtaking and unique. Walking paths and gardens, landscaped and maintained to perfection, can be found throughout the grounds and love seats and benches have been strategically placed. The guest house, with over 1,200 square feet of living space, seems surrounded by landscape splendor. The step down tennis court, with covered seating area and mini bar, offers professional play, day or night, as well as half court basketball.   All downstairs rooms in the Main House, as well as each of the rooms in the Estate Guest House, have privacy terraces. Each terrace is furnished with privacy (adjustable) curtains as well as adjustable lighting features. The large swimming pool and lattice covered spa is traversed by a stone bridge which separates the pool itself into two distinct entities.   The large pool area allows for under sun water activity and exercise. The “smaller” (all things being relative) cove like area is defined by underwater bench seating and has an overhead trellis which gives the cove a “tropical” feel and which allows only filtered sunlight to penetrate. The cove area can comfortably accommodate upwards of 3
