A Legend Undone

The Coachella Valley lays claim to an iconic Western tale, a saga so exceptional it has been called “the last great manhunt of the West.” The athletic antihero, an Indian named Willie Boy, outran a mounted posse of white men over 500 miles of boulder-strewn mountains and bajadas on the fringes of the valley in 1909.

The covered patio allows for shady entertaining, but the 60-foot fiber-optic spa and pool with tanning shelf is the jaw-dropping highlight of this midcentury estate. John Cyr, 880-1666.
