It’s the ultimate holiday home for an Elvis Presley fan with a lot of cash to spare.

The luxurious Palm Springs honeymoon pad leased by the king with his new wife Priscilla in 1966 is now on the market for $9.5m.

Boasting five bedrooms and five bathrooms, and set on more than an acre of land, the mid-century, three-storey property is currently a museum open to tourists, stocked with Elvis memorabilia – which the buyer gets to keep.

Luxury interior: The three-storey property, which Elvis lived in for a year, comes complete with rock and roll memorabilia

As well as a batwing-style roof, there’s also a pool and a tennis court on the plot in the exclusive Vista Las Palmas neighbourhood in California.

Elvis and Priscilla leased the home – originally called House of Tomorrow - for about a year for $21,000, signing the lease – which still hangs on the wall - before their Las Vegas wedding in 1967.

The property was purchased by Boston-based ‘Elvis junkie’ M L Lewis through a trust in 1987 for $487,500, who has owned it ever since, stacking it high with collectibles, including wedding pictures of the couple.

One for the money: The house, on the market for $9.5m, was built in the 1960s, complete with large swimming pool

Josh Altman, the agent representing the home for Hilton and Hyland, told the Journal: ‘It's literally a time capsule of Elvis.

‘When I walked into the house, I was all shook up.’

Currently, the house is open to the public, offering guided tours for Elvis fans at the weekend. In May, an event is held there to celebrate the couple’s wedding anniversary.

The property was designed in four perfect circles in 1960, offering a panoramic view of the Santa Rose mountains and the Coachella Valley.
Scenes from the film Elvis And Me and the documentary Elvis By the Presley, starring Priscilla Presley, were filmed here.

If i had a spare $9.5m then this would be the house I would buy, then hopefully someone would lend me $110m so I can buy the house from The Godfather.
