Palm Springs Air Museum founders Bob and Jo Pond built this waterside estate in 1992 to accommodate an extensive private car collection as well as large groups of guests — among them notable figures such as former President George Bush and his wife, Barbara.
Featuring more than 9,000 square feet on the 12-acre property, the Spanish-style adobe main residence includes a large den, two dining rooms — one for casual dining and another for formal parties — and an expansive “entertainment” kitchen with a walk-in refrigerator and freezer.
A separate wing houses a grand master bedroom with a his-and-her master bath and three guest room suites with private bathrooms. It also contains a private gym, and adjacent are a private indoor pool and whirlpool spa.
Other special amenities in the home include a library, a wine cellar, four temperature-controlled garages that can accommodate up to 100 cars, and 3,500-square-foot guest quarters.
Located behind Indian Canyons Golf Resort and boasting beautiful 360-degree mountain and wilderness views, the home is hugged by two spacious guesthouses, each featuring three bedrooms and three baths.
Also on the grounds are tennis courts, a four-horse stable and riding arena, an outdoor swimming pool complete with a large bar and entertainment enclave, a scenic lake and fountain — and the area’s only private helipad (perfect for the arrival of VIP company).
