Designed by renowned architect Leland F. Fuller and built in 1927, “El Kantara”, also known as The Autry Estate, is available turn-key furnished for $11.75 million in Palm Springs, California. The 1.43 acre estate was previously home to American singer Gene Autry, “the Singing Cowboy”, who purchased the property in 1997. Following Gene’s passing in 1998,  his wife, Jackie, lived in the house until 2020. Listing details: If ever there was a chance to become a modern part of the storied lineage of Palm Springs, this is it. El Kantara, or “The Bridge,” was designed by Santa Monica based architect and six-time Academy Award nominated art director, Leland F. Fuller, AIA. Best known for designing period revival style homes for the Hollywood elite in the 1920s and 30s; Fuller crafted this cornerstone Old Las Palmas estate for Mrs. Frederick Stevens, wife of then president of the American Locomotive company. Just prior to their building the home, the Stevenses stayed at the Samarkand Persian Hotel in Santa Barbara which is believed to have inspired 328 W. Mountain View Place. Since then, the home has passed through many hands that quite literally built Palm Springs into the city it is today, whether physically or culturally. The history here is only outweighed by the architectural prominence. Nearly 14,000 interior square feet are built around a central courtyard with a glass tiled pool and spa with arresting mountain views.
