Rustic, awe-inspiring compound with a withering botanical garden, deserted bird sanctuary and five film-ready INT/EXT homes now available exclusively for film, television, reality, commercial and still photography. This uninhabited residential compound on the east-side of the Coachella Valley has over 27-acres of contained wilderness with trails to include hidden lagoons, a handmade swimming pool, sunken spas, human lava rock formations, California and date palm trees and weather-beaten wooden patios throughout. The residences include an empty 3-story “Bates Motel” Victorian-style home with picketed fence gardens and fantastic views. Other homes, some cabin-like, motel themed and rustic structures include wooden beam ceilings, cast iron wood stoves, rock fireplaces, rusty tool shed, early to mid-1900s antiquities, thousands of props and much, much more. Ancient palm trees.
