It may not be Disneyland, but it was at one point Disney's land. Walt Disney's legendary "technicolor dream house" is on the market for $1M. The animation legend spent the last years of his life at this Palm Springs oasis.
The single-story house, located next to a golf course and surrounded by mountains, was built in 1962 and has some of the original features from when Disney lived there until his death in 1966.
Although the exterior of the house is unassuming, the inside of the house and backyard are bright and spacious.
The midcentury ranch boasts 2,443 square feet and has four bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom is still set from the time Disney himself lived there. The mirrors were handpicked by the late animator, a unique feature for the house. Vinyl carpeting was also part of the original decor, and held up pretty well over the years.
There is a gorgeous entrance hall with mirrored ceilings along with a spacious living room. The kitchen has a breakfast counter, and the dining room looks into the backyard. The backyard features a circular unground heated swimming pool, along with a spa and covered deck for dining outside.
"He [the current owner] told me even though Walt Disney hasn't lived there in a long time, people still drive by to see the house where Walt Disney lived," Michael Erives from Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, told The Daily Mail. "We've had a lot of interest, so many Disney fans got in touch. We even had a group of four Disney film executives who wanted to buy it to bring clients from other countries too."
The house was previously up for holiday rental, and the bedrooms were decorated by the current owner with themed rooms, such as Tomorrowland and Frontierland. Every room of the house was also flush with vibrant furniture, truly making it a technicolor dream house.
Disney's wife Lillian lived at the house after he passed away. The Indian Canyons property remained in the Disney family until 2015. The current owner is expected to complete the sale on May 14, The Daily Mail reported. Although the home is reported to sell at a record price, it cannot be revealed until the sale is final.
