At first glance, it looked like a typical holiday photo card sent out by actress-entrepreneur Suzanne Somers, her husband, producer Alan Hamel, and their family. But the rubble pile behind them in the photo was the couple's former Malibu home, burned to the ground by a brush fire in January 2007.

Many speculated that the Hollywood couple would sell what remained of their Malibu property or build a house there to sell, but come the new year, what is the first thing they put on the market?

Not the Malibu site, but a house in Palm Springs they've owned since 1977, the year they were married.

The 65-acre Les Baux de Palm Springs is on the market at $35 million, reports the Palm Springs Board of Realtors.

Somers and Hamel plan to move to an adjacent parcel 50 acres smaller, according to the cover story in the January issue of Palm Springs Life. Montecito architect Bob Eastman designed a glass-and-stone compound where Somers and Hamel plan to live.

Somers calls herself and Hamel "builders at heart," although they did not design their Palm Springs home. They did, however, expand the kitchen and add an extensive wine cellar and a dining room spacious enough to seat 32 people.

The mountainside home, dating to the 1920s, is reached by way of a private funicular railway. The estate has 10 bedrooms, nine bathrooms and three half-baths in multiple structures.

There is a French-style stone house, an Albert Frey-designed guesthouse, other "no-two-are-alike" guest cottages, an amphitheater, an 80-year-old renovated lap pool, a carousel and Coachella Valley views.

Somers and Hamel both have office space in the master-bedroom suite.

Somers, of ThighMaster fame, first gained attention as the blond in the Thunderbird in "American Graffiti" (1973). But it was her role as Chrissy Snow on the ABC sitcom "Three's Company" that brought her renown. The actress, 61, also has written self-help books -- "Get Skinny on Fabulous Food" (1999) and "Ageless: The Naked Truth about Bioidentical Hormones" (2006).
