Whether viewed as a volcano or a UFO, there’s no doubt that the John Lautner designed home created in 1980 for Bob and Dolores Hope in Palm Springs is a stunning, one-of-a-kind example of Lautner’s flare. When it was listed a year ago at $50 million, it was hard to price since there was no other real estate that was comparable. When it didn’t sell, it was decided to go for a lower price and recently chopped off $16 million. A massive structure at 23,366 square feet, the home has seven bedrooms and nine baths with huge areas for entertaining both inside and out. Perched high above the Coachella Valley on six acres in the exclusive Southridge community, the home has panoramic views over the valley and mountains through its glass walls. The undulating copper roof has large skylights and walls have murals painted by Garth Benton. Made for entertaining, the home has both indoor and outdoor pools and a bar that has welcomed many stars and dignitaries. A natural theme is carried throughout with a greenhouse wall in the master bath and a wall built around a boulder. Though they owned three other homes in Palm Springs, this was the Hopes’ dream home.

Bob and Dolores were married for 69 years - rare for any couple but especially rare for entertainment celebrities. Bob died in 2003 at the age of 100 and Dolores died in 2011 at the age of 102. Bob Hope was a rare multi-talented individual who excelled as a comedian, actor, singer, dancer, author, and athlete. He will never be forgotten for his annual tours taking entertainment to the U.S. military troops around the world. For more information.
