When Grant wasn't on the movie sets, he retreated to a quiet, restored movie colony property in Palm Springs, CA. Grant lived at the 1.54-acre estate for over 20 years. The two-story, Spanish-inspired home is a historically designated site, built as a replica of a 19th-century Spanish farmhouse with original tiles and preserved details throughout.
Grant’s former Palm Springs home is a walled and gated property that includes a master suite with fireplace, balconies, and built-in dressing room, 5 additional bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 5 total fireplaces, a Wallace Neff-designed guest wing, studio, double-height living room, and a great room with 40-ft ceilings. The immaculately maintained grounds also include rolling lawns, courtyards, and a saline swimming pool.
