Description:
Nestled within a highly desirable gated canyon community, this remarkable California ranch estate offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era. Built in 1956 and largely untouched since, the property retains its authentic midcentury character while blending in striking Hollywood Regency influences—making it a truly one-of-a-kind filming location. The four-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence features a series of richly styled interiors, including a dramatic formal living room and glamorous Hollywood Regency primary suite that evokes timeless Old Hollywood elegance. At the heart of the home is the unforgettable trophy room—an atmospheric, cinematic centerpiece unlike anything else on the market. This expansive space includes a fully outfitted bar with vintage glassware, an array of taxidermy (including a lion, a polar bear, and a jaguar–among many others), a classic pool table, and a commanding fifteen-foot stone fireplace framed by imposing elephant tusks. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light and offer sweeping views of the outdoor setting, seamlessly blending interior drama with exterior beauty. Just beyond, the aqua-tiled, kidney-shaped pool serves as a visual focal point, complete with a vintage diving board and a striking palm island feature that enhances its retro appeal. The surrounding pool area includes a charming pool house and multiple vantage points for filming. From here, steps lead down to a wild orchard and extend into nearly two acres of untouched canyon wilderness—providing a diverse range of natural backdrops, from cultivated greenery to rugged, unspoiled terrain. Additional highlights include a private primary suite, multiple production-friendly access points, parking for 10+ vehicles, and ample space for staging and crew. The property’s seclusion, paired with its visual richness, makes it exceptionally versatile for a wide range of productions. Previously featured in photo shoots and music videos, the location remains relatively underexposed, offering filmmakers and creatives the opportunity to capture a setting that still feels fresh, distinctive, and undiscovered.
