One Week Stay in an Iconic Palm Springs Modernist Gem

Escape to the desert in style with a one-week stay in a stunning Modernist townhouse located in Palm Springs’ iconic Country Club Estates. This architectural gem by architect A. Quincy Jones features signature elements such as clerestory windows and a seamless indoor–outdoor design. An interior atrium and walls of glass flood the space with light and invite the surrounding landscape
inside; all set against breathtaking views of the San Jacinto Mountains.

Just steps from your private patio, enjoy access to a beautifully maintained community pool and whirlpool spa, nestled among lush grounds with citrus and olive trees. Ideally located within walking distance of world-class golf courses, hiking trails, and botanical gardens, this exceptional retreat offers the perfect home base for exploring Palm Springs and the greater Coachella Valley.

A true design-lover’s desert oasis.

Generously donated by Steven Johnson & Walter Sudol. Total sleeping capacity of four.
7-night stay subject to availability and coordinated with the owner. Reserve by June 30, 2027. Flights not included. Cannot be resold or re-auctioned.


Private Sail on the Schooner Apollonia

Invite up to a dozen friends for a breathtaking sail down the Hudson River aboard the Schooner Apollonia, a 64-foot wind-powered merchant schooner.

During your 90-minute journey, indulge in a variety of regional wines that link all of New York, from the Finger Lakes to the Hudson Valley, gifted by Neverstill Wines, aptly named for “the water that is never still,” an ode to the impatient, ever-changing tide of the Hudson River.

Generously donated by the Schooner Apollonia and Neverstill Wines. Availability to be determined and coordinated with Captain Sam Merrett of the Apollonia. Must be booked during the 2026 season.
