About this property

Googie Ranch - Historic Racquet Club Estates

The City Of Palm Springs ID# 1542

This 1959 Butterfly Alexander, in Racquet Club Estates, was designed by renowned architect William Krisel and has been obsessively restored to it's original vision of space age optimism. Nat Reed had the unique opportunity to meet with William Krisel on several occasions and discussed where to find and how to incorporate original concepts and materials for the renovation. When you step inside the home you will enjoy a one of a kind Palm Springs Mid Century experience from the vintage furnishings to the original construction materials. The artist, Nat Reed, brings the same bright palette and sense of fun to the decor that is on display in his retro modern inspired art. Nostalgically themed bedrooms tickle your imagination. Sweeping clerestories and a wall of south facing glass bring the outside in, flooding the house with sunlight and warmth. From your own quarter acre lot enjoy the meditative view of the San Jacinto Mountains, while lounging by the kidney shaped pool. Nap in the hammock under the quiet shade of an olive tree. Wash away your stress in the refreshing outdoor shower (hot and cold) in the completely private backyard. On cool evenings, gather around the flickering firebowl for a nightcap. A mile from downtown. Make your mid-century immersion complete at Googie Ranch. During the summer of 2021 new Italian ceramic tile flooring and fresh paint in all areas of the home was complete, giving a fresh look and feel to Googie Ranch.

A home away from home

This place is a true masterpiece. Surrounded by art in every room and immersed in the mid century experience, you can’t help but enjoy this place for the total eye candy that it is. After daily outings, it was a wonderful sanctuary to return to for some poolside quiet time. The rental agency was very responsive and check in and check out was effortless. This place was the icing on the cake of our Palm Springs adventure.

Mid-century Modern Haven

We truly enjoyed a very relaxing stay at Googie Ranch. The check-in process was smooth and easy, and the property was just as advertised. We appreciated all of the authentic mid-century modern touches, including the Formica countertops and furniture of the era. The Nat Reed art throughout the house maintained that great vibe. And relaxing by the pool was just awesome! We truly enjoyed our relaxing stay at the Googie Ranch!

Quiet, Relaxing Kitsch!

Fantastic! 5 stars! A+ Love this property. Can't say enough good things about it and the communication, check-in and check-out. Easy-peasy all the way. Absolutely love the decor! This mid-century gem is decorated with sense of humor, kitsch, and a genuine appreciation for the era of the home. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking. Bring your own spices and you can find just about every pot, pan or utensil you are likely to need. You may want to buy ice unless you're down with cracking old school ice trays like we had when I was young (aging myself here), but really, how big of a deal is that? The expansive backyard is exceptionally well maintained and has everything you could need for a quiet, relaxing vacation with family or friends. SIX lounge chairs, a grill and a table for four to nosh outside, four additional chairs around the fire pit, a hammock... honestly, what doesn't this property have? Ok, Palm Springs doesn't let you have raucous parties in the neighborhoods. Tough patooties, folks. Stay downtown for that. Stay here to relax and enjoy the beautiful desert sky overhead while you float in the heated pool. I did.
