Within the ultra-private, enclave of Country Ridge--comprised of only seven distinguished estates--this exceptional residence offers a rare blend of discretion, design, and natural beauty. Set on 8.74 acres of scenic mountainside terrain, the property provides a meaningful sense of space and separation while remaining thoughtfully integrated into its surroundings. Ideally located just moments from the 101 freeway for effortless access, yet tucked quietly behind two separate gates--including its own private entry--the estate delivers the level of privacy sought by those who value true retreat. Resting against the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, the home enjoys a dramatic natural backdrop, where rolling landscape and canyon views create a feeling of calm and permanence. The setting offers the beauty and serenity of mountain living while remaining close to the refined dining, boutiques, and conveniences of Calabasas, as well as the coastline of Malibu. Designed as a sanctuary, the estate was conceived to foster tranquility and elevated daily living. The grounds unfold organically around the residence, with serene Zen gardens, curated outdoor spaces, and peaceful pathways that complement the natural topography. Rather than overwhelming, the acreage enhances privacy and frames the home in a way that feels intentional and harmonious. Inside, the interiors--masterfully curated by a renowned celebrity designer--reflect a sophisticated yet livable old hollywood aesthetic. Rich textures, custom finishes, and architectural detailing create warmth and refinement throughout. Every material selection and design element was deliberately chosen; nothing was overlooked in achieving a cohesive and elevated result. The main living areas balance scale with intimacy, anchored by a striking fireplace feature and enhanced by custom ceiling treatments and millwork. Formal entertaining spaces transition effortlessly into relaxed gathering areas, all opening to terraces that capture expansive views and invite seamless indoor-outdoor living. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen combines beauty with performance. Appointed with premium Wolf, Sub-Zero, and ASKO appliances, and supported by a full catering kitchen and butler's pantry, it is designed to accommodate both refined entertaining and everyday ease. Adjacent living spaces extend naturally to the outdoor areas, reinforcing the relaxed sophistication of the estate. Upstairs, five ensuite bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, along with a library and additional lounge space. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a private balcony overlooking the surrounding hills and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, steam shower, and curated stone finishes. Outdoors, a resort-style pool anchors the experience, accompanied by a built-in BBQ pavilion, manicured turf, and multiple seating areas positioned to embrace the mountain backdrop. The setting feels secluded and grounded--an environment that offers both openness and protection. This is not simply a residence--it is a mountainside sanctuary where architecture and landscape exist in quiet balance. A private, gated retreat designed for those who seek refined living, natural beauty, and uncompromising discretion.
