Googie Ranch – A Meticulously Restored 1959 Butterfly Alexander in Racquet Club Estates
Designed by renowned architect William Krisel, this iconic 1959 Butterfly Alexander home has been obsessively restored to its original vision of space-age optimism. Located in the heart of Palm Springs’ Racquet Club Estates, Googie Ranch offers a one-of-a-kind Mid-Century Modern experience that perfectly blends vintage charm with contemporary comfort.
Artist Nat Reed had the rare opportunity to consult directly with Krisel during the restoration process, gaining insight into sourcing original materials and staying true to Krisel’s architectural intent. The result is a masterful revival that captures the spirit of the era—from authentic furnishings to period-correct details.
Inside, every room radiates the colorful, playful energy found in Reed’s retro-modern artwork. Nostalgically themed bedrooms spark the imagination:
Primary Bedroom: Queen bed, en-suite bathroom
Bedroom 2: Two twin beds
Bedroom 3: King bed
All bedrooms include blackout shades for sleeping in and generous closet space—ideal for both short- and long-term stays.
Natural light floods the interior through sweeping clerestory windows and a dramatic wall of south-facing glass, blurring the lines between indoors and out. Step outside to your private quarter-acre lot, where you can take in serene views of the San Jacinto Mountains from a poolside lounger. The kidney-shaped pool and refreshing outdoor shower (with both hot and cold water) make it easy to unwind in complete privacy. As the sun sets, gather around the gas firebowl for cozy evenings under the stars.
In summer 2021, Googie Ranch received new Italian ceramic tile flooring and a full interior repaint, enhancing its fresh, modern feel while preserving its mid-century soul.
Located just minutes from downtown Palm Springs, you’re never far from vibrant nightlife, world-class dining, boutique shopping, art galleries, and iconic hiking trails. Whether by bike or car, everything you want is close at hand—including horse stables and the chic uptown design district.
Minimum length of stay and special rates may apply during certain seasonal events.
There is an optional pool heating available for a fee, (when needed). Depending upon length of stay, utility charges may apply.
Upon acceptance of the reservation you will be required to sign a Rental Agreement directly with the management company – 365 Vacation Rentals
