New co-ownership opportunity by Pacaso: Own one-eighth of this professionally managed, turnkey home. Bacana is a reimagined Palm Springs micro-resort where outdoor gathering meets private retreat living. Five individual casita-style suites are arranged around a central open-air courtyard, each with its own kitchen, bathroom and dining nook and each opening directly to the shared outdoor space through French doors. The heart of Bacana is that courtyard -- a saltwater pool and spa, lounge areas and unobstructed views of the San Jacinto Mountains rising directly behind. Each suite is compact and considered, with clean white cabinetry, stainless appliances and concrete or tile floors that feel native to the desert climate. The layout gives every guest their own private space while keeping the group naturally oriented toward the outdoors. The covered cabana has a professional demonstration kitchen with BBQ and full cooking setup, a 10-person dining area, outdoor fireplace and ambient lighting that makes evening gatherings feel genuinely effortless. Downtown Palm Springs is a short walk away, with the Uptown Design District, the Palm Springs Art Museum and the Aerial Tramway all close at hand. Bacana is professionally designed, appointed and managed by Pacaso. Every stay is taken care of before owners arrive -- the only thing left to do is enjoy it.

1952 bones. 2026 brains. Welcome to one of Tahquitz River Estates' most thoughtfully reimagined mid-century moderns, where original masonry craftsmanship meets a fully modernized, energy-positive home built for the way Palm Springs actually lives today. Three bedrooms include a primary suite and junior suite, guest room, plus an oversized bonus room currently set up as a gym. A large great room anchors the interior with the open, easy flow MCM was made for, and additional storage throughout means the function matches the form. Every system has been replaced or upgraded: all-electric heat pump HVAC, updated electrical, plumbing, and a solar array that doesn't just offset your bill. It returns approximately 100 kWh surplus to the grid each month. This home produces more energy than it uses. The 1952 masonry construction delivers thermal mass and architectural integrity no new build can replicate, naturally cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and unmistakably of its era. Step outside to a private pool, mature fruit orchard, entertainer's backyard, and a storm drainage system that means the property performs as beautifully as it looks. Everything you see was chosen. Everything you don't see was replaced. This is Palm Springs at its best.
