The home enjoys panoramic views of the Coachella Valley, such as the city of Palm Springs and the San Jacinto Mountains.</p><br/><p>The structure was constructed to resemble a volcano, or a giant mushroom, with 3 visor like arches and concrete roof with copper top. At the center there is an open semi-circle which serves as an open courtyard to the sky.</p><br/><p>It was made to disappear into the mountain. Searching outward one particular feels as though one is seeking from a cave onto a spectacular vista.</p><br/><p>Constructed in 1973 and finally completed in 1980, the 23,366-square-foot house has 6 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 3 half baths, indoor and outside pools, a pond, putting greens and a tennis court. It was brought to the industry for $50 million in February 2013.</p><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate_.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_2" width="560" /><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate__.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_3" width="560" /><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate___.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_4" width="560" /><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate____.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_5" width="560" /><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate_____.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_6" width="560" /><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate______.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_7" width="560" /><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate_______.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_8" width="560" /><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate________.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_9" width="560" /><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate_________.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_10" width="560" /><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate__________.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_11" width="560" /><br/><img alt="bob hope palm springs estate Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " height="373" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bob-hope-palm-springs-estate___________.jpg" title="Bob-Hope-Palm-Springs-Estate_12" width="560" /><br/><p>By means of: NYTimes, Vanity Fair</p><br/><img alt="p Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " border="" height="1" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/p______________________________________.gif" title="Bob Hope Contemporary Palm Springs Estate others " width="1" />
