This unique, historic and stunning mid-century modern compound was originally constructed in 1948 for one of the biggest radio stars of the era as a private refuge for him and his family.
Newly refreshed in 2023, the property has been upgraded to the modern era while at the same time its architectural origins have been respected and preserved. From the light fixtures and furnishings to the artwork and patio furniture, the property has been extensively decorated with exquisite vintage pieces from the owners’ private collection in harmony with its original design.
They invite you to indulge in this special mid-century modern home. Take a nap amongst the swaying palms, float in the pool while while marveling the majesty of the San Jacinto mountains and enjoy a cocktail at the outdoor bar with your loved ones.

Neighborhood highlights
Location! Location! Location! 436 Olancha is situated in one of the most coveted areas of Palm Springs:
Spectacular setting with wrap around mountain views.
Ideal SOUTH Palm Springs location noted for its shelter from the wind.
WALKING distance to the Ace Hotel (with the Amigo room and King's Highway restaurant), Bar Cecil, Koffi, Kreem Ice Cream, Del Rey Restaurant at Villa Royale, Mister Lyons, Seymour's bar, Elixir and Gigi's at the V Hotel, the Reef Bar, Sancho's, El Mirasol, the botanical gardens, stores, gyms, yoga studios and hiking trails.
Neighborhood steeped in celebrity history. In addition to the Max Factor compound (currently owned by musician Sia Furler), properties occupied by Lucille Ball, Dr. Scholls, Sharon Tate, Red Skelton, big band leader Don Tosti, and Eva Gabor are steps away. If Hollywood history is of interest of you, the immediate neighborhoods of Deepwell proper (formerly home to Liberace, William Holden, Jerry Lewis, Oscar Meyer, Carmen Miranda and Loretta Young) and the Mesa (currently home to Suzanne Somers and Barry Manilow and formerly home to Sonny Bono, Clark Gable, Robert Wagner and Rita Hayworth) are easily explored by foot.
