Bob and Dolores Hope’s “Dream Home” has hit the Palm Springs Market. Designed by Modernist Architect John Lautner, this 9 Bedroom, 9 Bath estate is 23,000 square feet overlooking the Coachella Valley and San Jacinto Mountains.

This is the largest private residence designed by Lautner who felt “The purpose of architecture is to create timeless, free, joyous spaces for all activities of life.” In this collaboration with the Hope’s, Lautner designed the perfect blend of concrete, steel and glass that compliments the neighboring mountains with its curving copper roof. Underneath is a grand courtyard in the center of the home, adding additional entertaining space to the estate which features two swimming pools, a tennis court and putting green. Completed in 1980, this extraordinary property is truly a “contemporary castle,” as Dolores described.
