This fabled Chateau complex-- surrounded by fortress walls, turreted towers and gated grounds, is legendary for its unique architectural heritage, impressive views across LA to the Pacific Ocean, and its romantic setting above picturesque Lake Hollywood.

The main castle offers hand painted coffered ceilings, linen fold paneling, carved & stenciled beams, gabled windows and thick plaster walls. Lifestyle rooms include: 5 bedrooms, library/media, dining room and living room.

The swimming pool evokes sunny images of mystical European grottos and is joined by a pool house offering a private apartment or recreation space. The pool terrace also invites al fresco dining with a pergola-covered seating area for festive occasions.

Inquire for the details of the speakeasy "Tiki Room" accessed via private staircase. The spirited south seas 1920's décor remains intact, where the rare bamboo piano may play a tune or a gin martini be shaken at the curved bar.

Wander the extensive meandering pathways to discover a hilltop deer pond, bubbling fountains, fishponds, hidden gardens or secret hideaways. Truly, the magic is just beginning...
