*The Estate:

Welcome to Casa Alfred Frey, an exclusive Lea Wiviott Boracchia, Vacation Home!

Albert Frey was a Swiss-born architect who established a style of modernist architecture centered on Palm Springs, California, that came to be known as "desert modernism."

Frey studied and built homes everywhere before settling on his masterpiece, Casa Alfred Frey. Alfred Frey's modern desert oasis blends into South Palm Desert so well that you may miss it at first. No stone is unturned + it's walking distance to famous El Paseo where you can enjoy incredible fine dining, casual eateries, wonderful local shops, and more fun activities like some of the best art galleries in the world!

What I love most about this property is how open it is. The doors to the yard open all the way in both the main house and casita - making for a seamless indoor outdoor living experience.

The thatched roof is also newer and part of the redesign along with the quintessential loggia style. You are in a historic property that has been brought fully into the post modern time with automatic light switches when you enter a room, even the bidet opens automatically, and more "smart" surprises.

You'll appreciate how you can see almost everything going on in the house while in the kitchen or tuck yourself away by closing the doors and windows.

Abundance in activities includes multiple putting greens, a custom treehouse, trampoline, diving board, many fruit trees, original artwork, including of a former chopper turned into a moose that's been refurbished with a local Palm Springs artist. There is so much to do at this estate you won't ever want to leave.

We are professional vacation rental managers who cater to the luxury and discerning clientele. Tell us any of your wishes and we'll do our best to accommodate and keep you returning for more blissful vacation experiences.

*Neighborhood Description:
Quiet home away from busy streets. Our street is tucked away and has through access to both sides of El Paseo. Our neighborhood is also right by Shadow Hills golf course although far enough way to not get any flying golf balls. However you can walk to the golf course in ten minutes!

There’s something for everyone at our location, and a lot!

We are only a few mins from Ironwood Park and the Living Desert Zoo!
We are only 10 minutes from Desert Crossing with Target, Marshall’s, Aldi’s Grocery Store; and of course just a few street off famous El Paseo
We are also 5 minutes from Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and much more!

For kids. Rancho Mirage Park has a fire truck and live theatre throughout the year for free, Civic Center Park has beautiful lakes and ducks; and Magnesia Falls park is also just 5, 8 minutes away and everyone loves their turf

The River is also a very popular hangout with multiple rivers and bigger restaurants like Cheesecake Factory, P.f. Chang’s, and many local eateries like sushi, Yardhouse, Chocolate Factory, popular movie theatre, hat store, cigar lounge, Dave & Busters will be here in the coming months; and much more!

In addition, we are centrally located to hundreds of golf courses! There are golf courses dotting the scenery almost everywhere you look in Palm Desert. We can provide recommendations of where to go for all the popular sports including but not limited to Pickle Ball, PGA courses, professional tennis courts, night time golf, and much more!

All of these locations are within 2 to 10 min

We also have a neighborhood guide we can provide you once you book with activities you likely don’t know about yet because we’re growing, the desert has SO much more this past year for tourists than the immense it already had.

*Getting Around:

There's ample parking in the private roundabout driveway. Our driveway is in front of the house and perched off the main street. It can fit five cars easily. We also have a three car garage with two spots available. Additionally, there's plenty of street parking right next to the driveway.

This is a wonderful residential street off the beaten path enough to not hear any distractions but close enough to walk to El Paseo. This is under a mile with very little slope if any to walk up, upon your return. You can also bike easily and it's very bicycle friendly as well as car friendly. Parking isn't an issue anywhere around here nor is traffic unless something unusual is going on which is rare.

Our property is excellent for getting around - however you decide whether it's bike, car, walk, or something else! We also have a golf cart for your use!
