**FRANK SINATRA DESERT HIDEAWAY**, "VILLA MAGGIO", c. 1970 for Sinatra. Step back in time to the wild & swinging 60s & groovy 70s, when Frank Sinatra & the Rat Pack set Las Vegas ablaze with their electrifying performances. Sinatra, known for making women swoon & throwing their lingerie on stage, needed a place to escape the non-stop excitement. And so, Villa Maggio was born - a secluded hideaway perched atop a pinnacle in Palm Desert, California. Named after Sinatra's Academy-Award winning role in "From Here to Eternity," Villa Maggio was a place of refuge & relaxation for the legendary entertainer. When he wasn't out with his Rat Pack friends - Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, & Joey Bishop - Sinatra would retreat to his private paradise to escape the public eye. With 6,428 SF of interiors that have been renovated to reflect Sinatra's style, this mid-century mountain retreat remains as relevant today as a destination for celebrities & power players seeking privacy, security, & luxury. Built in 1970 by builder Duke Wild & designer Ross Patten, Villa Maggio was designed to be Sinatra's ultimate escape - a place where he could be himself & unwind. The compound spans 7.5 acres & includes a 5 BR main house, a self-sufficient 3 BR guest home, a 1 BR pool house, a resort-style pool, a lighted tennis court, a helipad, & parking for 24 cars. The 4,300-foot elevation provides a temperate climate, & the unobstructed 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains, national monuments, & cityscapes are simply magical. With warm woods, local stone, & seven stone fireplaces in the main house, Villa Maggio has everything Sinatra & his guests needed to relax in comfort & luxury. The main house features a large catering kitchen, dining & living rooms, a den, five bedrooms, six bathrooms, & a deck with breathtaking views of the desert floor. The attached & detached guest quarters provide four additional bedrooms & first-class accommodations for Sinatra's guests, including traveling dignitaries, sports stars, & members of the Rat Pack. Nestled atop a hilltop surrounded by breathtaking views & boulders, Sinatra & his guests would engage in friendly games of single & doubles tennis on the villa's tennis court. Sinatra was the ultimate entertainer, & Villa Maggio was where he felt truly at home. In Barbara Sinatra's book "Lady Blue Eyes, My Life with Frank", she frequently references the Villa as a haven for Sinatra & his guests. The estate is the only remaining Sinatra property that has not been altered, still showcasing its original design. Built with locally sourced materials, including natural stone & hardwoods, the Villa Maggio is not only a luxurious retreat but also a testament to sustainable design, with wide overhanging eaves providing shade & reducing its ecological footprint. The warm atmosphere of the estate is created by its hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, & vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams. The fully equipped kitchen with commercial-grade appliances are ready to host any occasion. "Pure Sinatra" embodies the grand vision & scope of the estate, which reflects Frank Sinatra's unique approach to life. Sinatra was hands-on in every aspect of the Villa's design. Villa Maggio, a cherished retreat, was built with the goal of providing friends & family with a private & otherworldly escape for fun, relaxation, & of course, legendary parties. Every detail of the villa reflects Mr. Sinatra's personal tastes & preferences, & the current owners have lovingly preserved its character & style, making it an unparalleled collector once-in-a-life-time opportunity. This is more than just a home, it's a piece of Sinatra history, where every detail tells a story & every room is a glimpse into the life of one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Villa Maggio is now a piece of iconic American history, waiting for the next chapter to be written. FOR SALE OR TRADE
