Your Property:
This stunning hillside estate is the perfect spot for weddings, events, and unforgettable getaways. Inside and out, it’s designed for fun, relaxation, and celebration-with breathtaking views of the mountains, ocean, and city lights.
Relax on our private, tiered grounds featuring a sparkling saltwater pool, year-round spa, shaded dining areas, BBQ grill, fire pit, and a gazebo.

Planning a special event? The backyard ceremony space offers sweeping views and a fairytale setting with room for 100 chairs, and photo ops galore.
