Welcome to a classic Hollywood ranch hidden away in the Hills, right beneath the iconic sign in an exclusive community of only thirty-six homes. Despite the secluded location, you can be in the heart of LA in just five minutes – where you'll find the city's hottest restaurants and most exciting attractions. The outdoor area is the undoubted star of the show here. With an Acapulco-style saltwater pool and sprawling deck, feel free to spend indulgent days lounging in the sun and cooling off in the pool.

The decor is an eclectic mix of styles that mirror your host's diverse interests – from Buddhist statues to vibrant pop art portraits and opulent leather seating – there's sure to be an element to pique your interest.
