A backyard built for long California evenings: there's a pool, a hot tub, a fire pit lounge, and alfresco dining – all on a single level, so the space feels relaxed and easy to move between. Inside, the games room with a pool table keeps things going when the sun dips, and the vaulted living room is the right spot to wind down by the fire. Set in a quiet residential neighbourhood, you're a twelve-minute drive from the peaceful grounds of Lake Balboa and within reach of the San Fernando Valley's dining scene.

Local guide
About Encino
Infamous for its mention in Frank Zappa’s 1982 hit song “Valley Girl” lies the historic neighborhood of Encino – just to the north of Bel-Air and west of Sherman Oaks. Thought to be named after a 1000-year-old Oak tree, it is one of the oldest parts of the Valley. While quieter than other neighborhoods, it still boasts all the charm of LA. Shop and dine down the bustling area of Encino Commons or take a picnic to enjoy the California sun in Los Encinos State Park.
