A stylish desert retreat that once belonged to the late screen icon Zsa Zsa Gabor is for sale in Palm Springs.
The actress, who died last month in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack at the age of 99, once lived in this sleek mid-century modern home, which comes complete with a swimming pool and spectacular desert and mountain views.
Now fans have a chance to snap up this piece of Hollywood history - just two hours from Tinseltown - provided they can stretch to the $969,000 (£780,645) price tag.
The actress was 99 when she died on December 18 in Los Angeles following a heart attack

The actress, who starred in films like Moulin Rouge, The Girl in the Kremlin and Queen of Outer Space, famously had nine husbands
On the market through TTK Represents, the 1,784sq ft home, built in 1958, has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
It is split into the main house and a separate 'casita' that can function as a private space for guests or as a studio.
The deck that wraps around the hillside property, which has a kidney-shaped swimming pool and a fire pit, overlooks the serene landscape studded with palm trees and architectural gems.
Once home to legendary stars like Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin, the glamorous desert retreat remains popular with celebs seeking an escape from the hubbub of Hollywood to this day.

Palm Springs' proximity to Hollywood made it a popular escape for stars from the 1950s on
Thanks to the rocketing popularity of the Coachella music festival, held in the nearby Coachella Valley, the A-list descends on the otherwise sleepy spot every year to party and pose for snappers in the desert.
Born in 1917, Zsa Zsa Gabor began her stage career in Vienna and was crowned Miss Hungary in 1936.
She left Hungary for the US in 1941, where she went on to star in films including Moulin Rouge, We're Not Married! and Lovely to Look at.

But it was her off-screen persona that made Gabor a source of fascination through the decades.
She was most famous for her lavish lifestyle, her glamorous appearance, and her many husbands - nine in total.
The star died following a heart attack on December 18, less than two months before what would have been her 100th birthday.
