About This Home

1850 Smoke Tree Lane

Step back in time at the Blankenhorn-Gilmore Residence, the foundational private estate of Smoke Tree Ranch and a unanimously designated Class 1 Historic Resource. Built in 1930 by master architect Garrett Van Pelt Jr. and sensitively expanded by the iconic Albert Frey, this 5-bedroom, 7-bathroom sanctuary served as the architectural blueprint for the entire enclave. Set on 1.88 deeded acres across three lots plus an exclusive view lot, the 5,504-square-foot home perfectly captures the "Romance of the Old West" with its signature Ranch-style horizontality and board-and-batten exterior. The interiors are a masterclass in rustic sophistication, featuring dramatic exposed-beam ceilings, natural wood-paneled walls, and a massive floor-to-ceiling red brick fireplace. Wooden casement windows frame unobstructed, panoramic mountain views and lead to a private backyard oasis complete with a rectangular pool and integrated spa. This is a rare opportunity to steward a piece of Palm Springs history once owned by the Ranch's principal developer, L. Mac Blankenhorn, offering a level of pedigree and privacy that is simply unmatched.
