Inside a Modern Hideaway in Hidden Hills

April 1, 2025

On just over two acres on a coveted cul-de-sac in Hidden Hills, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, this meticulously constructed new 16,112-square-foot residence recalls both a rustically refined California spa and a bucolic pastoral oasis.

Precious little of the greater Los Angeles area could still be referred to as “bucolic,” but the community of Hidden Hills is a welcome exception. Nestled in the western foothills of the San Fernando Valley, it features corrals; barns for horses and other animal friends; equestrian trails; and white three-rail fences that contribute to its peaceful, pastoral atmosphere. A lack of streetlights helps preserve dark night skies.

Sited on just over two acres on a coveted cul-de-sac in Hidden Hills, this meticulously constructed new 16,112-square-foot residence is transporting, recalling both a rustic but refined California spa getaway and—with its emerald lawn and that quintessential fencing in view—a timeless equestrian estate. Altogether, the home and its guesthouse offer eight bedrooms, 11 baths, and an inviting open floor plan with an airy, loft-like ambience and an effortless flow. Numerous pitched rooflines, soaring ceilings, and towering windows create an impressive sense of volume filled with floods of light, while carefully chosen building materials in soothing organic hues pay homage to the natural surroundings.

The singular sophisticated experience begins with an atrium-like gallery with walls ideal for the display of art and a sculptural spiraling staircase. The straight, breezy throughline flows directly to the main living area, which boasts stunning wide-plank floors crafted from lovely blonde wood and a contemporary fireplace. The boundary between indoors and out here is virtually nonexistent, a wall of glass “disappearing” to offer easy access to a refreshing zero-edge pool and spa surrounded by a vast sun-washed terrace. The vista stretches out toward the mature trees that create a green wall of privacy and the homes dotting the hilltops in the distance.

Nearby are a spacious formal dining room with tall windows affording lovely views and light, a grand glass-walled wine cellar, and a chic chef’s kitchen with two marble-wrapped islands—one with counter seating—streamlined wood cabinetry, a scullery or caterer’s kitchen, and a breakfast area with French doors and a picturesque outlook. Adjoining is a relaxed family room opening to a covered terrace with alfresco living and entertaining space and an outdoor kitchen. Other highlights include a handsome modern study with a wall of built-ins, a light-filled gym with a glass-paned overhead door and idyllic scenery providing natural inspiration, a massage room with a sauna and steamshower, a game room with a cocktail bar, and a theater with terraced seating, acoustic paneling, and a back-lit coffered ceiling.

The primary suite is an ample private oasis featuring an airy vaulted ceiling, its own living area, a balcony, two sun-washed resort-caliber baths—one with both a spacious shower and a freestanding soaking tub—and a pair of boutique-worthy closet and dressing rooms, each with lighted glass-fronted doors and an island.

Across the ample motor court, which leads to generous garaging for seven cars, the guesthouse offers an open living area and kitchen with counter seating and an artful collection of windows. Beyond the verdant grounds and the community’s prestigious gated bounds are the rolling expanses of the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve and the gardens and museum of the Leonis Adobe National Historic Landmark—both uncommon attractions that further the sense of bucolic escape here, on the outskirts of one of the world’s most bustling cities.
