A home in Palm Springs, Calif., owned in the '70s by Elvis and Priscilla Presley has been sold for $1.25 million.

The 5,000-square-foot house, with five bedrooms and 4½ bathrooms, is in the Old Tuscany area of Palm Springs, in the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains. Considered a historic site by the city, the 1946 house is protected against demolition; any changes to the exterior are subject to planning-department review.

The Presleys bought the house in 1970 for $85,000. They were divorced in 1973. The rock star owned it until he died in 1977.

Preserving the exterior may mean maintaining a spa that the King of Rock 'n' Roll had built into an outside corner of his property. The spa is covered by a gazebo, which shielded Elvis from helicopters. The home sits on nearly two residential-zoned hilltop acres with valley views and also has a sauna and a steam room. It was a party house for Elvis.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
