Leonardo’s Palm Springs getaway was initially built for American singer, actress, and television personality Dinah Shore. The house was built in 1964 by legendary Palm Springs architect Donald Wexler (who also designed the Palm Springs International Airport. Wexler was known for his use of steel rather than wood for framing material, finding it better suited for construction in the desert.  DiCaprio reportedly paid $5.32 million in 2014, and while the property is typically used as a rental property, DiCaprio occasionally uses the home himself.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s home is situated on 1.3 acres in Old Las Palmas, ideally located with access to all that Palm Springs has to offer while secluded enough to keep the noise and bustle away. It’s within walking distance from art galleries, theatres, restaurants, clubs, and other upscale experiences.
