Property Description
Perched high above Araby Cove, 2550 South Araby Road is a rare and storied treasure and one of Palm Springs iconic Rock Houses, originally built in 1929 by R. Lee Miller. This historic residence is a singular blend of architecture, history, and landscape, offering sweeping panoramic views across the desert floor and exceptional privacy. Access is provided via a private road with restricted entry. Designated a Class One Historic Landmark by the City of Palm Springs, the home showcases handcrafted artistry throughout. Stone walls rise organically from the mountainside, while original details remain beautifully intact, including hand carved doors and windows, custom shelving, exposed ceiling beams, ironwork door latches, handmade fireplace tools, and two original fireplaces, one of which includes a preserved stove pipe. A hidden room concealed behind a bookcase adds intrigue, and a deeply personal historical detail remains etched into the stone, as the original owner, Perle Martin Wheeler, carved her name into a nook in 1931. Respectfully honoring the home's architectural legacy, the current owners acquired the property in late 2024 and completed a thoughtful transformation, bringing the residence into the modern era while preserving its soul. Extensive upgrades include updated plum
