This Los Angeles-Area Compound Is a Veritable Village for a Discounted $26.5M

For buyers who love the freedom and space of country life but need the career access and convenience of city living, this estate is ready and waiting.

And bonus points: It’s on sale.

This veritable village in Encino, CA, features two main houses, two guesthouses, a recording studio, equestrian facilities, its own pub, and much more. The place just returned to the market for $26.5 million. Do the math, and you’ll find that’s an $8.4 million discount off of the listing’s $34.9 million price in 2022, the last time it was available.

That might still sound like a lot of cash, but the property truly is remarkable and could be used for a variety of moneymaking endeavors, such as a film location, short-term rentals, a horse therapy facility, or an executive retreat.

Spread across two lots on 2.1 lush, shady acres, the property includes 12 bedrooms and 13 baths, and that doesn’t even include the horse and exotic-animal accommodations.

Both main houses have vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings and distinctive fireplaces. One has a striking kitchen, dining, and bar area that opens via French doors to a sun-filled courtyard. The other has a cozy, brick-lined game room with a billiard table.

In addition, there are plenty of other comfortable spaces, including a writer’s cottage, recording studio, barn-styled guesthouse, and a workshop.

Charmingly, this property also features an astonishing number of fireplaces—13, to be exact, indoors and out.

Accommodations for four-legged friends, domestic and exotic, are plentiful too—there are spacious barn, stables, and gated corrals.

Additional outdoor features include a tree-lined driveway, fountains, a fire pit with seating area, a pool, spa, and sauna. A duck pond is inhabited by mallards.

It’s hard to believe all of this countryside goodness is within walking distance of the famous Ventura Blvd., where some of the best shops, restaurants, and services in the Valley await. It’s a property unlike any other in the Los Angeles area.
