One of the most iconic Bond locations ever has been put on the market in Palm Springs. I say we all pool our money and buy the thing as a clubhouse for us fans. A halfway house, if you will.

No point starting a new thread for this....

 

The ultimate Bachelor Pad - James Bond House

 

 

From what we can gather it was on the market recently for a paltry $14 million so if you fancy a legendary house in Palm Springs that has been featured in a James Bond movie and you have a bit of spare change in your pocket you now know where to look. Cast your eyes over the photos below and also check out the clip of Sean Connery trying to fight off Bambi and Thumper and see why the Bond team chose this location and what a fantastic place it is.

Yeah, but you'd have to live in Palm Springs.

I'm British so have no idea what that entails!

I can think of worse places, even within southern California.

 

Bakersfield, for example.

Was it already sold in February? Strange, seems like a short time to get fed up with it already.

It was 120 degrees Fahrenheit there last weekend.  That's 49 degrees Celsius.  I'd sell it too.
