Tucked away above the prestigious enclave of Trousdale Estates, this extraordinary nearly one-acre development opportunity offers an unparalleled blend of privacy, prestige, and possibility.

The reimagined compound will feature a stately two-story main residence with a long private driveway, a well-appointed ADU, a dedicated pool house, and a resort-style pool, all set amidst a lush, expansive backyard designed for ultimate privacy and tranquility. Perfect for the discerning owner-user or investor, this is an unmissable opportunity to craft an extraordinary estate in one of Los Angeles' most coveted neighborhoods. A property of this caliber - rich in history, unrivaled in potential - comes along once in a lifetime.
