The home, a desert flower hidden in a prestigious enclave, was formerly referred to as The Crosby Estate since it was owned by legendary singer Bing Crosby, who was widely known for his Christmas songs, including “White Christmas.”
“This remarkable property spans an expansive 2.53 acres, boasting unparalleled privacy and mature landscaping. This elegant residence presents five bedrooms and seven bathrooms throughout the main house and three casitas, providing ample space for luxurious living and entertaining,” the listing on Compass says.
“The interior exudes timeless sophistication, with meticulous attention to detail evident throughout. A seamless blend of modern amenities and classic charm creates an inviting ambiance in every corner. Outdoor indulgence awaits on the grounds, featuring a lighted tennis court and bocce ball court, offering endless opportunities for recreation and leisure.”
Other features, per the listing, include:
Solar panels
Three fireplaces

According to a release about the house, the beautiful home is famously known as a secret meeting place of President John F. Kennedy and actor Marilyn Monroe when it was rumored the two were involved in a torrid affair.

Palm Desert is about a 120-mile drive southeast from Los Angeles.
