Built in 1936, this Spanish Colonial Style Ranch has a storied past that adds depth and charm to its timeless beauty. Once known as Casita de Suenos, the property was a Hollywood-inspired haven for the Los Compadres riding club and a favorite gathering place for the cowboy culture that defined Palm Springs in the 1930s. It even housed horses for iconic hotels such as El Mirador and The Desert Inn and later served the Palm Springs Police Department through the 1940s. In the decades that followed, it became a creative retreat for artists and free spirits, including surrealist painter Snake Jagger. It remained a vibrant part of the desert's artistic community throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Today, this beautifully remodeled ground-level residence offers one bedroom and one bath across 840 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space. The home retains its historic charm while offering modern comfort, complete with new mini-split systems in each room for energy-efficient heating and cooling.
