Elvis Presley's Historic Honeymoon Hideaway In Palm Springs Hits The Market

An important residence in the history of Elvis Presley has once again gone up for sale, reports TMZ. The Palm Springs, California "Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway," as it’s sometimes known, has been listed for sale with an asking price of $2.5 million – a steal for a house that’s an integral part of pop culture history thanks to Elvis's brief time there. The allure of this property is not only rooted in its aesthetic appeal but also in the rich stories and events that transpired within its walls.

Elvis leased out what was then known as the "House of Tomorrow" because of its futuristic architectural style for a year starting in 1966. He paid $21,000 (in mid-60s dollars, to be clear) for the entire year. The plan was for Elvis and Priscilla to get married there, but as the story goes, they ended up getting married in Las Vegas to avoid nosy reporters and fans. Just nine months after their honeymoon began, their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was born. This home was not just a residence; it was a significant part of their early family life.

Another fascinating piece of history for Elvis fans is his famous 1968 comeback TV special, which he reportedly planned during his time at the honeymoon house. This iconic moment in his career was shaped within the walls of this residence, making it a treasure trove of memories for fans and historians alike.
