Hacienda Barranca

An authentic and private Spanish hacienda nestled against the San Jacinto foothills, Hacienda Barranca offers a feeling of total privacy with expansive mountain views in the Mesa neighborhood just minutes from downtown Palm Springs and golf courses, parks and hiking trails.

A custom home with a Hollywood history fit for Palm Springs, Hacienda Barranca belonged to Ocean’s Eleven producer Jerry Weintraub after he bought it, sight unseen, during a poker game with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and George Hamilton. The filmmaker liked the home so much he lived in it for nearly 20 years.

Today, terracotta roofs, stacked-stone walls and naturally landscaped grounds, accented by a courtyard fountain, evoke a European villa. Wander through the desert gardens, relax under the custom-built pergola, or soak up the sun in a poolside lounger. On cool evenings, gather with friends for stargazing around the mountainside firepit.

The thoughtfully designed outdoor space also features a family-style dining table by an outdoor fireplace, a BBQ grill, and a large stone saline hot tub. Design enthusiasts will appreciate the artisan-crafted touches throughout, from the cobalt-blue mosaic tile of the swimming pool to the intricate woodwork of the furniture.

Inside, the 3-bedroom casa combines the warmth of modern decor with bold, Spanish-inspired patterns and original artwork . An open-concept living and formal dining area greets guests with two full-length ivory sofas, which frame a cozy stacked-stone fireplace. Just behind it, walls of glass french doors reveal desert garden views. In a separate media room, a comfy sofa and twin armchairs face a large-screen TV for relaxed movie nights.

The living areas flow seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area. Enjoy the sunrise and coffee from the covered outdoor dining table.

The gourmet kitchen boasts alder wood cabinets, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking gas range and a wine cooler. A wall-mounted TV will entertain your chef, while four high-top stools at the breakfast bar allow for social cooking.
An attached garage makes it easy to explore the surrounding area, from the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, a 15-minute drive, to Joshua Tree National Park just an hour away.

Of course, with its resort-style amenities, mountainside privacy and space to entertain, you may never want to leave Hacienda Barranca.
