Welcome to ''Ona Rancho,'' a timeless piece of Palm Springs history with an extraordinary past. Nestled in the sought-after Tahquitz River Estates neighborhood, this 2,440 sq. ft. authentic Spanish-style home captures the romance of early California with its thick masonry walls, hand-painted tilework, and exposed wood beams.Steeped in Old Hollywood lore, this storied estate was once home to Ona Brown, former wife of Academy Award-nominated director Clarence Brown. While building plans list Will Rogers as the original owner, it was Ona who made the home legendary, hosting dazzling soirees that were often the talk of The Desert Sun. Adding to its Prohibition-era mystique, the property even features a bootlegger's basement with a hidden false wall--a relic of the days when Palm Springs was a discreet playground for the rich and famous.Designed for both entertainment and relaxation, the home offers three bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, and expansive living spaces that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. Throughout the home, rich hardwood flooring and classic Saltillo tiles enhance its warmth and character. Open the elegant French doors to let the desert breeze flow through or remain inside in the cool comfort provided by your newer HVAC systemSet on a nearly quarter-acre lot just minutes from downtown Palm Springs, this stunning property offers meticulously landscaped grounds that transform your home into a private oasis. The lush greenery and artfully arranged plantings provide a serene environment, perfect for relaxation. The property features a variety of citrus trees, providing both beauty and bounty with their fragrant blossoms and vibrant fruits. Palm trees sway gracefully in the desert breeze, adding a touch of tropical elegance to the landscape. Numerous decorative plantings are thoughtfully placed throughout the grounds, creating a picturesque setting that is both inviting and tranquil. Sip your morning coffee by the fountain, bask in the sun
