*FRANK SINATRA DESERT HIDEAWAY*, VILLA MAGGIO, built 1970 for Sinatra. Step back in time to the wild and swinging 60s & groovy 70s, when Frank Sinatra & the Rat Pack set Las Vegas ablaze with their electrifying performances. Sinatra, known for making women swoon and 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 and relaxation for the legendary entertainer. When he wasn’t out with his Rat Pack friends – Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and 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 a destination for celebrities and power players seeking privacy, security, and luxury. Built in 1970 by builder Duke Wild and designer Ross Patten, Villa Maggio was designed to be Sinatra’s ultimate escape – a place where he could be himself and unwind. The compound spans 7.5 acres and 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, and parking for 24 cars. The 4,300-foot elevation provides a temperate climate, and the unobstructed 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains, national monuments, and cityscapes are simply magical.
