Racquet Club Cottages West AKA Racquet Club Garden Villas were designed by the beloved mid century desert architect William F. Cody in order to provide longer stays for the glamorous Hollywood elite as an expansion to the famed Racquet club resort. Imagine designing for the likes of the iconic stars of the 1950’s and 60’s. Teamed up with landscape designers Phil Shipley and Dudley Trudgett and highly esteemed contractor Paul Trousdale Mr. Cody created a romantic oasis fit for the most discriminating guests. Now is your chance to join this community of enthusiasts and own your own private iconic post and beam cottage nestled in the lush tropical landscape complete with babbling brook. Floor to ceiling windows and private patios create a sense oneness with the outdoors. This unit is located on the quiet side of the complex, lovingly modernized without changing the original footprint and intention of the space. Large main bedroom with its own full bathroom and patio, flex room that can be used as an office, den, or extra bedroom (add a fold out or murphy bed) with another full bathroom. The large open living room has two patios and gorgeous mountain views. The kitchen has the same beautiful views with newer Bosch dishwasher and stove. Designated as a class 1 historic site, RCCW owners enjoy property tax rebates through the Mills Act. Some of the furnishings can be purchased outside of escrow.
