Beau Monde acquires the Bing Crosby Estate

This week Beau Monde Villas acquired the Bing Crosby Thunderbird Heights Estate in Rancho Mirage.This home is the legendary Celebrity Golf Estate of singer / actor Bing Crosby. This legendary celebrity golf estate offers breathtaking mountain views and indoor / outdoor living, all in a five bedroom gated estate.

This legendary home of Bing Crosby is nestled in a guarded enclave. The home is very well preserved and updated for today’s desert living. Bing enjoyed the Palm Springs life, golfing frequently at the Thunderbird Country Club.

The home rests on a hillside in the heart of Rancho Mirage in a neighborhood full of charm, history and lots of juicy celebrity scandal from the fifties through the seventies. When Dixie Lee died in 1952, Bing and his sons stayed at the Rancho Mirage villa until Bing remarried Katherine Grant and they moved to the Ranch Home in the Palm Desert area.

This estate was and is the place for the rich and famous celebrities of Hollywood fame and fortune. If the walls could talk, they’d tell stories about Hollywood Celebrities and Presidents in their desert playground. Stories involve names as famous as Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra, John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy of course, Mr. Crosby himself.

The home features main house, guest house, artist’s studio 4,200 square feet and design features include greek columns, low roof line, and custom-made furniture.

Decor offers Asian influences including a 10 foot rustic front door, film posters from the fifties and even a movie theatre. There is a great room that opens out to the lanai. This home offers living space inside and out with the mountains as a dramatic backdrop.

The home offers many entertaining features including the billiards area to the indoor wet bar. The master bedroom has approximately 1400 sq. ft of private luxury with a sitting area, “spa quality” bathroom and even a fireplace.

The home offers a number of sleeping quarters neatly furnished. Outdoor entertaining is a must here, with the BBQ Kitchen island and outdoor patio dining. The home has a “pebble tech” pool / spa / fire pits. Golfing fans can treat yourself to some practice at the putting green that Bing Crosby must have played on! The Estate features the latest technology and a rich Hollywood history. It’s a vacation retreat for any golf enthusiast, Bing Crosby fan, families or anyone loving the desert life.
