This 1942 estate house and garden occupy a secluded 1.5 acre site overlooking a prestigious L.A. area Golf Club. Designed by renowned Southern California Architect Roland E. Coates, this home is situated on a prominent knoll, where the property boasts panoramic views of both Downtown L.A. and the famous Hollywood Sign. Existing rare trees were carefully retained and protected.

​

Additionally, huge native specimen trees were craned onto the property, dramatically shaping a garden with distinct outdoor rooms and wide-open play spaces. A thoughtfully placed hidden retaining wall created a 'ha-ha,' allowing the new garden and great lawn to merge seamlessly with the expansive golf course below, creating the illusion of an endless vista.

 

Site features include a century-old Coast Live Oak draping over the entry drive, a fragrant rose garden, an aviary with songbirds, a large entertainment terrace, an elaborate Koi pond, an inviting outdoor fireplace patio, a sports court, a hillside trail through drifts of ornamental grasses, and garden art by sculptor Mineo Mizuno.

Abundant local fauna now find year-round shelter in this wonderful and sustainable California landscape.
