Description

The legendary Bono Estate is one of Palm Springs’ most iconic and storied residences. Perched on a private 1.51-acre parcel in the coveted Mesa enclave, once home to Sonny and Mary Bono, this extraordinary property captures the essence of a golden era where Hollywood glamour, music, and desert luxury converged. Recently undergoing a total restoration under its current ownership, the estate has been thoughtfully reimagined while preserving its architectural integrity. Custom furnishings and original artwork—designed and curated by the owner—complement the home’s distinctive character, with select pieces available by separate agreement. Spanning approximately 8,989 square feet, the residence is designed for elevated living and unforgettable entertaining. Walls of glass frame breathtaking mountain views and flood the interiors with natural light, while seamless indoor-outdoor flow defines the expansive living spaces. A grand great room opens to a formal dining area anchored by a striking rock fireplace, while the chef’s kitchen is equipped for both intimate gatherings and large-scale events, featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator, 8-burner Wolf cooktop, dual wine refrigerators, and four Thermador ovens. The estate offers 7 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, including a luxurious primary suite and multiple private guest accommodations, each designed with a balance of sophistication and comfort. Architectural details pay homage to the home’s mid-century roots while integrating modern enhancements throughout. Outdoors, the grounds unfold as a private resort. A newly added pergola and extended patio are surrounded by curated landscaping, including lush lawns, mature olive trees, date palms, and sculptural cacti. Multiple terraces provide serene spaces for relaxation, all overlooking a new travertine pool deck, sparkling pool, and a refurbished tennis and pickleball court—perfect for hosting under the desert sky. With two gated street entrances, a motor court accommodating 12+ vehicles, and fully private grounds, the estate offers both grandeur and exclusivity. A rare offering that blends celebrity provenance, architectural significance, and modern luxury, the Bono Estate is a true legacy property in the heart of Palm Springs. Main entrance located at 301 W El Camino.
