Tahquitz River Estate | The Purcell Compound

Serene Palm Springs getaway awaits at the historic William Gray Purcell compound. Thoughtfully remodeled and recently refreshed with sleek interiors and a brand new pool and spa to relax in and enjoy the gorgeous mountain views.
Tucked away in the Tahquitz River Estates, this single-story, multi-structure compound offers privacy while being minutes away to golf, casinos, hiking spots, shopping, restaurants, bars and all that buzzing downtown Palm Springs has to offer. The former vacation retreat of famed Prairie School architect William Gray Purcell features hallmarks of the architectural movement—an open and airy floor plan, clean horizontal lines, and fluid integration with the surrounding landscape. Whether you're a fan of modernism or simply enjoy the solitude of the desert this special compound is the perfect place to gather to celebrate life's big moments or just chill.
We have furnished and stocked the home with all the amenities we enjoy ourselves and pride ourselves on cleanliness and comfort. We are often close by if needed, but we care about your privacy and will leave you to enjoy!
