Palm Springs compound of late Mexican singer Juan Gabriel lists for $2 million

A resort compound owned by beloved Mexican singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel at the time of his death has come to market in Palm Springs for $1.995 million.

Gabriel, who died in August at 66, purchased the property a year ago for $1.55 million. Prior to that, the turn-key compound had been operated as a boutique hotel, said listing agent Brian Beard of Keller Williams Luxury Homes.

Tucked behind a corrugated metal fence, the U-shaped residence totals 3,500 square feet of living space with eight private suites on a single story. French doors off each suite open to a center pavilion complete with a sun deck, a swimming pool and a separate spa.

The master suite has a walk-in shower that connects to a private outdoor spa. Travertine-lined showers and soaking tubs, custom furnishings and wall fireplaces are found in each of the bedroom suites.

A large parking area fronts the more than quarter-acre property.

Gabriel, one of the bestselling artists in Mexican history, wrote more than 1,000 songs for himself and other performers during his career. The singer was known for his ballads of love and heartbreak including the 1984 hit “Querida� (“My Dear�).
