Welcome to The Pond Estate by AvantStay!

Spanning more than 12 impeccably landscaped acres and framed by some of the most breathtaking mountain views in the Coachella Valley, The Pond Estate is Palm Springs’ largest and most spectacular compound. Celebrated for its rare scale and design, The Pond Estate has also been featured in The Wall Street Journal as one of the desert’s most exceptional private retreats. Fully secluded and entirely gated, this one-of-a-kind luxury escape sits less than 10 minutes from Downtown Palm Springs, perfectly positioned between the iconic Indian Canyons hiking trails and the nationally ranked Indian Canyons Golf Course.

The Pond Estate is a true celebration of grand-scale desert living. Across three distinct homes, you’ll find 11 bedrooms, a dedicated event space, a standalone game room, indoor and outdoor pools, a private tennis court, multiple expansive lawns, your own pond and stream, and scenic hiking trails winding through the property. It’s a rare blend of size, style, and exclusive amenities—everything your group needs for an unforgettable Palm Springs stay, the AvantStay way.

The Hacienda is the estate’s centerpiece and newly renovated main home, redesigned by Lala Reimagined—the same team behind the owner’s Malibu residence recently featured in Architectural Digest. Spanning over 12,700 square feet, The Hacienda offers five bedrooms (three of which are suites). The primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with direct access to the home gym and an indulgent ensuite featuring a sauna and spa, plus a pathway to the indoor pool and hot tub. Multiple terraces invite indoor-outdoor living at every turn, including a covered interior courtyard wrapped around a dramatic water feature with private access to two additional suites. Inside, you’ll find a grand foyer, soaring great room, multiple dining spaces, and a cinema room designed for nights in.

The Tennis House (pink house) stretches across more than 4,100 square feet, filled with natural light and finished with tiled floors and wood-beamed ceilings. It includes three ensuite bedrooms, a generous living and dining area with a dedicated bar space, and its namesake private tennis court just steps away.

The Casita sits at the edge of the Great Lawn, offering even more room to spread out in comfort. Nearly 2,000 square feet in size, it features three additional ensuite bedrooms, including a spacious suite ideal for extended stays or added privacy.

Beyond the three homes, the estate includes several exceptional spaces that make this compound truly unmatched:

- The Pool Club showcases a sprawling outdoor pool and spa, plus multiple covered lounge areas, a bar, outdoor kitchen, large-group dining space, and an amphitheater-style fire pit for evenings under the desert sky.

- The Game House (garages turned gaming rooms), completed in 2024, offers approximately 3,000 square feet of bold, playful design, packed wall to wall with games of every kind, a wet bar, and a large lounge for movie nights and friendly competition.

- The White Space (meeting/yoga space), also completed in 2024, spans roughly 3,000 square feet and is perfectly suited for meetings, corporate retreats, yoga sessions, cocktail gatherings, or anything your group wants to create.

With three homes, expansive lawns, and dedicated gathering spaces, The Pond Estate is a standout setting for milestone moments and elevated group stays. If you’re considering an event, corporate retreat, wedding weekend, or special celebration, please send us a message before booking. Events are welcomed on a case-by-case basis with prior approval, and our team will be happy to review your plans, share guidelines, and help ensure everything comes together seamlessly.
