PALM SPRINGS – (INT) - Three years before his death in 1965, Walt Disney and his wife, Lillian, built a vacation home in Palm Springs as a getaway from Walt’s hectic work schedule and to enjoy their later years. It’s now for sale.

The home stayed in the Disney family until 2015 and the new owners retained the charm and whimsy of the home created by the imaginative couple.

At 2,443 square feet, the four-bedroom, four-bath home has the lines of mid-century design. As with most of the modernist homes of Palm Springs, the focus was on the enjoyment of outdoor living, relaxing and entertaining.

The future buyer of Walt Disney’s Palm Springs home may not only enjoy the luxury of the Palm Springs climate, but will but will live in a home owned by a man who gave much joy to many. It’s priced at $899,000.

The listing agents are Klint Watkins and Ryan Cummings of HK Lane, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate.
