Frank Sinatra’s Former California Mountain Retreat Hits Market for $3.9 Million (PHOTOS)

The former California retreat of "Fly Me to the Moon" crooner, Frank Sinatra, is up for grabs with an asking price of just $3.9 million.

According to Realtor.com:

"Looking to beat the heat, Sinatra chose the granite mountain plateau above Palm Springs as the ideal locale for his hideout and commissioned architect Ross Patton to design the property, which was completed in 1967." Besides acting as his own personal sanctuary, Sinatra is said to have used the chalet to host other members of the Rat Pack, as well as a host of dignitaries and social elite.

A total of $1.9 million was spent to build Sinatra's former retreat, which now carries a price tag of slightly under $4 million. Known as 'Villa Maggio', a name given for the character Sinatra portrayed in the movie, "From Here to Eternity," the 10-acre property consists of three buildings built along the eastern border of the San Bernardino National Forest.

Highlighted by a its pitched roofline and rough-hewn stone façade, the main home holds true to its postwar America roots with a colorful, mid-century décor. Combined with a 3-bed, 5-bath guest house and a 2-bath, dual-sauna pool house, the three structures offer a total of 7 bedrooms, 13 baths and over 6,400 square feet. A palatial pool and patio area rest above a lighted tennis court, while Sinatra's former stomping ground rounds out with the amenity every icon needs, a private helipad."
