This desert spot seeks a new lord

In Palm Springs, a custom tennis retreat built for late British tycoon James Hanson is now in play at $4.8 million.

The 10,000-square-foot estate was constructed in 1982 and outfitted with the businessman’s lavish tastes. Save for a newly added swimming pool, fire pit and outdoor catering kitchen, the home still wears the same colorful style.

Vibrant colors fill the interior, including gold walls in the foyer and pink floors in the living room.

Shades of green accent the formal dining room, billiards room and sun room — with the latter two rooms each hosting a wet bar. Six bedrooms and eight bathrooms are spread throughout.

The house sits on a desirable 1.47-acre lot in the Old Las Palmas neighborhood. A main house, a guesthouse and a lighted tennis court make up the estate. There’s also a four-car garage.

“Everybody in Palm Springs is in search of at least an acre, and this has the fit,” said John Nelson of Nelson-Moe Properties.

Nelson holds the listing with fellow agent Cat Moe. Nelson-Moe Properties is an affiliate of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.

Hanson, along with his business partner Gordon White, bought up companies throughout the ’70s and ’80s and built a conglomerate worth $28 billion. He died in 2004 at 82.

His son Robert sold the home in 2007 for $3.1 million, records show.
