THIS luxurious pool with a jacuzzi and waterfall estate is the ULTIMATE property in the heart of the Movie Colony Neighborhood. Located just a few blocks from the downtown center of Palm Springs, Ruth Hardy Park, five star restaurants, cafes, the famous Spa Casino and the historic O`Donnell Country Club are all within an easy walking distance.
Formerly owned by Dale Wassermann who wrote `One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,` this luxury estate is crazy good! If you’re looking for a large private property, luscious greenery, and luxuriously appointed, this private Movie Colony Neighborhood estate is for you.

Lavish layout includes living room, dining room, and step-down media room. There’s not only a large modern kitchen, but also a butler’s pantry, replete with a bar and 2 wine refrigerators.
The landscaped exterior with its jaw-dropping waterfall, pristine pool, jacuzzi and private sunning area make being out of doors a magnificent experience. A covered patio runs the length of the house providing shade and a breeze from 2 exterior-ceiling mounted fans. Features include Chaise lounges, conversation corners, and dining tables that collectively serve up to 20 guests. And, the separate Casita makes it easy to vacation together, yet provide “alone” time, too.

Nearby Ruth Hardy Park affords public tennis courts, basketball courts, children’s play area, shaded picnic areas and walking paths.

    Host was wonderful, helpful in the initial greeting tour, responsive as heck, and receptive to the one or two little notes I had for property improvements. Will absolutely be staying in this or another ModMansions properties :)

    Kitchen set up allowed us to have a fabulous birthday dinner at home for family and friends. Plus we walked or short Uber ride to the best restaurants in downtown Palm Springs. Pool area is spacious with a sparkling pool and hot tub.

    The house was very clean, well stocked and set up for fun and relaxation. The neighborhood was quiet. David was awesome and available if needed. We had no problems and the backyard pool and spa were so inviting. 8 ladies came for golf and really enjoyed coming home each day.

    Home was impeccable, great for everyone to spread out and have their own space. Host was extremely helpful and proactive with communication. The photos do not do it justice, the home is truly an oasis in paradise!

    Our group loved the Cuckoo Nest. Every single person could not stop raving about how incredible this house was. Perfect location with tons to walk to and an incredible pool to enjoy. Don't worry about all of the rules, just keep the music inside and quiet hours outside after 8pm and you will be fine!

    Eight of us 70 and older gals had a great time dining, dancing, gaming, and of course cocktails ?. David from Mod Mansions was incredible, and the home was everything we hoped for.
