Suzanne Somers' Palm Springs estate for sale (again)

Josh Flagg is so gross.

So is that other one, self-hating Trumpster Chad Rogers.

I actually REALLY like it, and I'm shocked. It doesn't seem the kind of place Suzanne Somers would live; I would have expected white marble, lucite, and fluorescent animal prints everywhere.

But definitely not a home for elders. Those stone steps outside!

I like it also. It's unpretentious, grounded, warm, inviting, comfy.

Did she fall or was she pushed?

Those rocks and mountains are rattlesnake heaven.

Does she still have pigtails?

The house is kind of nice, but the decor is a mix of simple, elegant and ostentatious, with plenty of the latter.

Holy Chartreuse!

I'm surprised not to hate it. The exterior is a bit of a mess, but at least it's a smart concept, especially for the site, of broken into pods. The interior is rather nice, the 1928 part especially, a sort of pared down Southern California style with informed nods to vernacular architecture of the region without being kitschy. The main bedroom is the serious mistake, with all that rough stone everywhere you might expect to see the head of a rattlesnake poking out of a crevice as you look out from your bed. I would start again with the architectural finishes of that space. The furnishings and some of the designer touches like the carved out rocks as sink basins are more what I would have expected, but in the first case those will disappear and in the second, there are not so many things (that we can see from the few photos) that I would have the contractors in for besides the main bedroom. The small outdoor areas are very nice. Even the reduced price of $8.5M seems a huge sum to me, though the square footage suggests there is much more to the house.

For such a ridiculous owner, I'm surprised that it's not a tragedy through and through, but a nice house with some kitschy personal taste but not so bad as I thought in the land of Design Toscano.

I feel clostrrphobic looking at the interior.

I love it, the bedroom with the stone looks so cozy.

That place really needs to be dusted

I actually like it too. I wouldn't do much to it. The outdoor spaces are lovely. It's not at all what I expected her home to look like although it is a minor miracle that she didn't break her neck years ago!

[quote]Those rocks and mountains are rattlesnake heaven.

Rattlesnake venom can't get through silicone, so she's safe.

I like it too, but I'm not sure I could rid it of it's republican stink

@r6, "Does she still have pigtails? "

No, but she still has big, floppy boobs which probably broke her fall and saved her

That's the thing I learned after a short time in PS that the external views are best framed by MCM minimalist décor and architecture. Looking out at the desert scape from gaudy, overwrought interiors doesn't work for me

R16 We were supposed to be going to PS and renting a house last year then it was pushed back to this year and now it's off but I did look at hundreds of vacation rentals and came to the same conclusion. One thing I loved was the houses that had high ceilings and windows that were up high above the cabinets on one wall of the kitchen so the windows were framing the palm trees. A few houses were so white and minimalist that I felt cold looking at them even with the blue skies and blazing sun in the background.

[quote]I love it, the bedroom with the stone looks so cozy.

It better be, that's where she has sex with her 90 year old husband three times a day!

No kitchen shots, it's a total tear out. She has done some live Facebook shows and it it's old and outdated. Pictured here.....

The republicunt stink will be impossible to remove. Definitely a tear down.

Did anyone else read the titles of the books stacked up in her bedroom! Although after R18's post I cannot look at the bedroom again. It also reminds me that they fell together I think, right? I think I remember DL saying they were probably schtupping on the stairs when they took a tumble!

What are some titles, R20? I'm looking at it on my phone and don't see any way of zooming in. The Happy Hooker? The Celestine Prophecies? Rich Dad, Poor Dad?

The Palm Springs Republicans need to be called out.

I love it. It's beautifully quirky in a spectacular setting. But I think it's still overpriced by about $3 million.

I can’t believe all these positive comments about that nightmare horror show rattlesnake haven. I could not imagine a worse waste of $8.5 million. To each his own.

Here's the book stack zoomed in. Make out what you can.

Part 2 of the book stack:

Jesus, you fussy, joyless queens are insufferable. Cant you just discuss the house without bringing politics into it? And you wonder why the political environment in this country so toxic and upsetting. Give it a fucking rest.

They cleaned this up a bit - she's been trying to sell this thing for years. I remember other photos that were so over the top. This looks, by comparison, somewhat restrained and much more inviting.

I believe there are like 4 or 5 structures on the property, so these pics don't show much. There's still a problem with scale with most of her furnishings - too large of pieces. If you removed everything and swapped out lighting and other choices, it could be really great.

It's in a good area and it has fabulous views, but it's right in the side of a mountain. That's a whole lot of wildlife right out your door - coyotes, snakes, spiders, big horned sheep. You could not own a dog there without a lot of concern.

She moved out of this place into a smaller house in Las Palmas last year. I hope it sells, because I'm tired of seeing articles about this place.

So who is the market for this? I don't think the foreign money buys up Palm Springs yet. It doesn't seem like the kind of place a rich family would move to full time so I'm guessing the market is people looking for a second/third home in which case this place is probably far too big and sprawling unless it's a wealthy old couple with lots of grandchildren who will come to stay.

It must be heaven to sit outside at night when the nighttime temps get below 115. 😀

So, where do Jack and Janet sleep?

Lots of interesting spots to explore on that property. It looks like a nature lover's paradise.

R29 - There are other properties that are more expensive in PS, but I agree.

The other higher end properties in PS have a large lot and lots of entertaining areas. This looks very cozy and not a place for many visitors - even with 7200 square feet.

I recall her having a LOT of shabby chic (really just shabby) accessories before. God knows what the other houses on the property looks like.

I could see this selling for about $4 to $5 million. They have been very stubborn about the pricing and they need to just get rid of it. They think too highly of this property - it's not as fab as they think it is.

It's odd they don't have photos of the other 4 buildings on the property. There is a LOT of different areas and a lot of steps.

Fun fact - there seems to be a 9 car garage and circular driveway. And there is a FUNICULAR from the garage and driving area to the main house.

I guess schlepping those groceries up those steps finally broke them.

That is *not* an estate. Calling it a pied-à-terre would be generous, considering I’ve seen more spacious walk-in closets!

Palm Springs property porn tonight it is then!

I would love to see what she has done to other houses on the lot. I always think that they are disasters if they don't show pictures! Can't be worse than Kirstie Alley's pink kitchen though.

She lives up on a hill next-door to Barry Manilow. I wonder if they're still friends after she came out as a big Trump supporter?

It definitely needs to be decluttered. Can you imagine having to keep all that crap clean?

R37 - yes, she was in his wedding. And she moved a while back next to the Bob Hope house across the canyon. Barry still lives there though.

The house is surprisingly close to things - you can walk to restaurants from there.

So does she have another home in Palm Springs or does she live full time in Malibu now?

[quote]Josh Flagg is so gross.

I agree. Smarmy and always looks like he just woke up from a nap.

R40 - she has another home in PS. It was dated as hell, but has good bones.

God knows what it's going to look like after she's done with it though.

Didn't her Malibu house burn down, I can't keep up with her!

Someone said she's in another Palm Springs house now, in Las Palmas which I assume is a neighborhood in the city,

I can see a younger tech guy buying this place. It takes a lot if bounding around with bedrooms spread out in different buildings Nobody with kids would want it. No elders. Its going to take a special buyer

Suzie moved to Southridge, not Las Palmas. J'adore Southridge and its history of glam Hollywood residents like William Holden, Bob Hope, Miss Joan Collins, etc

I love the new house. Lots of pictures here. Hope she doesn't clutter is all up.

No privacy. Neighbors peering into your windows.

The house the ThighMaster built.

Josh Flagg isn't driving all the way to Palm Springs to show that house, his assistant will.

[quote]OP: Fingers cross Suzie sells this time around.

Oh, dear.

I got fucked in Dorothy Lamour's Palm Springs house. It was just a modest one-story house set among other 1950-70s houses. What neighborhood would that be in?

I agree that it's wildly overpriced. She might get a better return if she did a complete renovation before attempting to sell it.

R49 It's beside Ruth Hardy Park. I faceplanted when jogging past Ann Miller's house.

R49 - that's Movie Colony (ish), but the lower end of homes in that area. There are some gorgeous homes around there - but not on that street.

Love the house but I love the most the location. It must be so quiet and peaceful. LOVE IT!

Love the views of the new house but HATE the fact there's another house right above you AND there's a street right behind the new house too! Cars and people hanging out watching over you. GROSS!

Am I the only one who sees 'Palm Springs' and thinks of that episode of 'The Comeback'? I probably am but damn that was a fantastic episode of TV.

R54 - I believe it's a private road since other celebrities also lived up there. The Bob Hope house and the James Bond house is on the same road. It's a beautiful well lit road leading up the mountain.

Funny enough, at the bottom of the road is a mobile home park.

Here's the James Bond house (Elrod House) -

Not surprising to see that she has horrible taste to go along with her horrible personality.

@r49, "I got fucked in Dorothy Lamour's Palm Springs house."

Were you thinking of her and Bob Hope doing it right there the whole time?

R56 What kind of a crowd lives in? vacations in? a mobile home park in Palm Springs?

[Quote]I got fucked in Dorothy Lamour's Palm Springs house.

You can get fucked in Sonja Henie's PS home, too, as its been a hotel for some years.

I recall when she bawled on Larry king over getting caught in a lie about liposuction she had being for breast cancer when it was for weight loss/shaping. At the time she was selling diet books. When she was younger she was arrested for writing bad checks! Then she has all that bad “luck”... houses burning, falling. Hmmm

^^ Ffttt begone, frau. This thread is for the Gays

It doesn’t seem right that someone should pay money for a house Suzanne Somers has befouled. She should be paying someone to take it off her hands.

R59 - there are some affordable areas. The mobile homes all appear to have been from the 50's through the 70's from what I can tell - back when it was more of a snowbird retirement community and people didn't live there year round.

There are mobile home parks next to very wealthy areas all over the Coachella Valley - in Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and other places.

Actually, it's not a bad choice if budget is an issue. These aren't typical trailer trash.

Is she moving back in with Jack and Janet?

[quote]I got fucked in Dorothy Lamour's Palm Springs house.

I hope this is the title of your upcoming autobiography.

She's likely to get only the value of the land for it. Few if any would want to keep the house. Anyone spending that kind of $$$ would want something more contemporary.

It wants to be too many things at once. It could have been all stonework, almost like a Fallingwater interior feel but it's that AND 90s Italiante AND like, five other things.

"a mix of simple, elegant and ostentatious, with plenty of the latter"

Oh, dear!

R66 - I think it should be the first sentence actually. It's a great opener - like "Call me Ishmael" or "It was the best of times and the worst of times".

It sets the tone so well.

I actually like the earthiness - very rare in CA. Stones and earth tones are very calming. A little too frau-y but could make it work. $8.5M is insane though.

You have to park your car at the bottom and then take a tram up to the house. A double commute just to buy a carton of milk. No thanks, I'll take something ground level in a gated community.

[quote]I got fucked in Dorothy Lamour's Palm Springs house. It was just a modest one-story house set among other 1950-70s houses. What neighborhood would that be in?

I'm not exactly sure, but it would 'whore adjacent" at least

[quote] I got fucked in Dorothy Lamour's Palm Springs house.

Did you get fucked in Dorothy Lamour's sarong?

It sucks the stupid bitch is so wealthy.

Pool and patio at night are dreamy. Maybe the snakes are asleep then?

Dorothy's house is near Ruth Hardy Park and some might say it's in that neighborhood, but I think it's also often considered part of the Movie Colony neighborhood.

It's as northernmost as one would want to live, sort of the northern beginnings of South Palm Springs. (If you go much farther north than that, you're in an area where the wind is incessant....that, and it's kinda desolate at that end, closer to the highway.) Movie Colony and Ruth Hardy Park were definitely the to-be places back in the day, and are still desirable (though overall, larger and more desirable homes can be found in Deepwell and Twin Palms).

I love the layout, but I agree with others about being surrounded by all this wildlife. I hope they have 911 on speed dial.

This isn't really "insane" considering the location. All the stars live up there. Privacy is what you pay for.

I watched a Facebook live with her, Alan and her kids walking around the huge lot. It a multi level lot with all these different hidden spots to hang out and relax. She owns the area above the houses. I'm not sure if that on the sales list but it was amazing!

House is gross, poor use of random materials, it’s like cheap restaurant. Faux faux faux faux there is nothing nice here. For the people complaining about neighbours “peering in” first of all what damaged you and secondly you live in a city you have neighbours.

Yes R80 - it looks like a bad Bravo Italian restaurant! That's exactly it.

All cunts hating on this are totally jealous of her. I would be in heaven if I lived there. Even for a short time. The indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful. I love the natural look. Fuck the cliche "modern" look all the gays are required to love. It's bullshit! It's a lame stereotype but many gays fall in line.

It looks like a mash-up of The Flintstones and The Beverly Hillbillies.

R82 saying “I love the natural look” about this house makes about as much sense as saying the same thing about her face.

Dear God she desperately needs a new hairstyle. She's 74 years old and still wears her hair like she's a 24 year old. At her age she needs to go back to her natural color (whatever that is) and get an age appropriate styling.

That's got to be a wig, R85. I wouldn't be surprised if she's bald under it, after decades of extreme bleaching.

Alan is 84 years old and doesn't look (or sound) like he'll be around much longer. His voice is quite weak.

I am surprised how much I like it. Yes, a little clutter-y but all that goes away when it’s sold. I’d repaint the rooms with the rag painting, too 80s. The clutter under the slab sink shelf is annoying, implies that there’s not enough space for a linen cupboard.

Love the outdoor space and the master bath pictured in the 2nd link...bathing by firelight!

Wouldn't the property taxes on 65 acres in CA be outrageous? Could the property be split?

Hi Gays !

I'm just amazed she looks in the mirror every morning after troweling on her makeup and thinks "oh yeah, I look good".

Has the buyer been assured he won't open his blinds to see that some morning! Eech.

[quote]Were you thinking of her and Bob Hope doing it right there the whole time?

No, I was a kid and didn't know too much about her at the time. I can still feel her shag carpet between my fingers like it was yesterday. I also remember getting pushed into the pool at another house by Tommy Tune in a fit of anger. That was one hell of a wild weekend!

That Tommy Tune is another one on my cunt list.

He's rarely discussed here. Your story is awesome though.

I've had/am still having similar weekends.

Love when people share cool stuff.

I'd rather hear about Tommy Tune than Suzanne Somers.

The house sounds wildly impractical--needing the tram to get into the car----defeats being in southern California! I also wonder what one would do in a fire. Multiple buildings might sound great, but I wonder if most of them are closed off, so she doesn't have to cover the utilities or worry about the plumbing.

If she bought it in '78, she'll make money regardless of what she gets. By then PS was a bit of a joke from what I understand--a spring break destination and the movie stars were mostly gone or ancient. It was probably undervalued even if it needed updating.

R95 - to be fair, I believe the funicular was probably installed when they were adding other buildings onto the property. That's a long uphill walk from the drive to the house.

I think it's probably a lot of fun - here, get in the railcar - wheeeeeeee....all the way down to the garage. It's more fun than the walk to my car.

It is a bit weird that she moved there in 78 at the height of her fame. Obviously she still had houses in LA, but this has always been her primary residence. Maybe because she was raising a young son still.

About that book stack. Pure decor, actual readers don't stack like that. What if you wanted a book from the bottom? Heavens! You could be killed in an avalanche of books.

@r93, " I also remember getting pushed into the pool at another house by Tommy Tune in a fit of anger."

I was told that Tommy was mad at you for getting fucked in Dorthy Lamour's house before he was

Books are awfully decorative, r97, don't you think?

R82 = Barry Manilow

[quote] "I also remember getting pushed into the pool at another house by Tommy Tune in a fit of anger."

I'll bet he flounced when he pushed you in too. And probably looked back over his shoulder at you and hissed "you bitch".

Has anyone actually used the Thighmaster?

That and The Clapper. Those commercials were everywhere at one time but no one seems to have actually bought them.

I love the rusticity, and seclusion. But not enough to buy it. I'm saving that for my dream Pueblo Revival. I've been designing it in my head for years.

Tommy Tune and Suzanne Somers n one thread! I’m giddy!

I want Suzi’s pad.

[quote]Didn't her Malibu house burn down, I can't keep up with her!

Yep, and her dumbass rebuilt in the same spot!

Does she have a portrait of her idol Donald Dump in the house?

Why the fuck is there a bathtub in the bedroom by the bed????

SHUZANNE SHOMERSH' PALM SHPRINGSH ESHTATE FOR SHALE

[quote]Why the fuck is there a bathtub in the bedroom by the bed????

Alan insists that her pussy be freshly washed before he eats it.

R108 - that's one of the guest suites in a separate building.

It’s surprisingly tasteful but it’s still about 3 mil too much, considering it’s PS and unlivable about 4 months of the year.

I do have to say (and I mock her all the time) that anyone I know who has had to deal with her, be it at events, arranging for a car, hair/makeup, photogs, etc etc has only had nice things to say.

For whatever that’s worth (she’s still a fraud and a Trumptard)

I like Suzanne Somers minus her politics.

Come on knock on her dooooooor...
