Designed by Palmer and Krisel and built by the Alexander Company in 1957 the Ocotillo Lodge has become an important part of Palm Springs architecture and history. Located in South Palm Springs, this mid-century modern masterpiece is also famous for its legendary key-hole shaped swimming pool, club house, and impeccable grounds, originally designed by landscape architect Garrett Eckbo. This unit was also featured on the 2025 Atomic Ranch home tour for Modernism week.
Notable architectural details of each unit include concrete block, tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams, clerestory windows, and walls of glass. This unit has been tastefully enhanced yet still retains its authentic mid century modern character. Updates include terrazzo tile flooring throughout, custom kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, and a soothing built in water feature designed to blend in seamlessly with the natural desert surroundings. Coveted features of this unit include a west facing private patio, the original blue mosaic tile shower, two interior closets, an indoor laundry closet, and front entry facing the stunning homes on Twin Palms Drive. Short term rentals are allowed and the unit is also eligible for the Mills act for additional tax savings. The monthly HOA dues cover all utilities including electricity, water, cable tv and internet and the unit is located on fee land that you own, there is no land lease. Whether you are looking for a vacation escape and or investment this is an exceptional time to own a pedigreed piece of Palm Springs architecture.
