A rare opportunity to renovate a single-story ranch-style farmhouse behind the gates of one of Los Angeles' most exclusive celebrity enclaves: Hidden Valley Estates. Situated at the end of a private road within the coveted 24-hour guard-gated community, this expansive 40,000+ square-foot lot offers direct access to the tranquil beauty of Franklin Canyon Park. The existing home features vaulted ceilings, an ideal floor plan, pool, sport court, and unobstructed canyon views. Set among $10-25mm estates in the area, this charming home is ripe with potential and provides the ideal canvas to reimagine and customize a home that meets your personal vision. With its exceptional privacy, scale, and setting, this property invites you to transform one of Beverly Hills' most coveted addresses into a signature home curated to reflect your personal taste, lifestyle, and design vision.
Beverly Crest, located between Beverly Hills and Bel Air, is a hillside and residential Los Angeles neighborhood with winding canyon roads and panoramic ridgelines. The mood concentrates along Mulholland Drive near the Beverly Glen Boulevard junction, where pullouts, cyclists, and late-day light set a quiet, cinematic pace. Architectural lines run from midcentury moderns to contemporary compounds, often tucked behind mature landscaping and long driveways. Franklin Canyon Park adds trailheads, a reservoir, and shaded picnic pockets that shape daily routines. The Getty Center and Skirball Cultural Center frame the area’s cultural gravity with galleries, gardens, and programs. Sunset Boulevard below keeps dining and errands within reach without changing the calm above.
