This contemporary Bird Streets estate is a masterclass in scale, privacy, and architectural grandeur. A long, gated driveway builds anticipation, leading to a grand foyer that introduces soaring ceilings and dramatic volume. With nearly 14,000 square feet of living space, the property features walls of glass framing unobstructed, panoramic vistas stretching from the downtown skyline to the Pacific Ocean, offering an unrivaled perspective of the Los Angeles landscape.
The residence balances professional functionality with refined leisure. A dedicated office, featuring a long conference table, is complemented by a private library, a professional screening room, and a game room. The sprawling main deck serves as an outdoor social hub with a built-in fireplace, barbecue grill, and a dedicated dining area overlooking city lights. A second-floor lounge provides a versatile retreat with direct access from multiple suites, while an infinity swimming pool and spa offer a perfect escape for soaking in the California sun.
The 2,500-square-foot primary suite functions as a private residence, complete with a fireplace and multiple terraces capturing the expansive horizon. Each of the six ensuite bedrooms is appointed with luxury finishes, ensuring hotel-quality comfort. Featuring a massive motor court with parking for over 20 vehicles, this compound offers a rare blend of high-profile event capacity and absolute seclusion for those seeking the very best of the Hollywood Hills.
Gorgeous views from the heights of the Hollywood Hills and state-of-the-art amenities make Venus Modern a standout. This beautifully appointed and supremely chic vacation rental sits high enough to look out over Los Angeles to the Pacific in the distance. Its private lot, contemporary interiors and four suite-style bedrooms can accommodate up to eight friends and family members in a serene setting that’s nevertheless only 5 minutes from the Sunset Strip.
Soak in the California sun from outdoor living spaces that feature lounging and dining areas, a pool and hot tub, and a barbecue. If you’d prefer to relax or entertain indoors, the satellite TV, wet bar, fireplace and Wi-Fi make it easy. This luxury home also boasts high-tech amenities such as a home-automation system and a Sonos sound system.
From the broad glass pivot door at the entry to the foyer’s Venini chandelier and sweeping glass staircase, Venus Modern makes a statement from the start. The drama continues in the open-plan, designer-finished living spaces, where even the floors are finished in custom French white oak or gleaming Porcelanosa tile. A zebra rug and tufted settees in the living room and a Sputnik light fixture in the dining room add glamour, and in the fully equipped kitchen, Miele appliances maintain the sophisticated ambience.
Though the villa feels like your own holiday retreat in the California hills, it’s ideally situated for sightseeing around Los Angeles, with the Sunset Strip only 5 minutes away. It’s 5 miles or less to the boutiques on Rodeo Drive, incredible concerts at the Hollywood Bowl and the thrills of Universal Studios, and about 10 miles or less to the collection at the Getty Center and the nearest golf course. Spend a day tanning, swimming or surfing at one of the three beaches within 25 miles, or try a hike through nearby Topanga State Park.
Cielo Rock House is a mid-century modern retreat nestled into the boulder-strewn hillside of Vista Las Palmas, where the desert landscape becomes as much a part of the experience as the home itself. Set on expansive grounds with sweeping views of the mountains and city below, this home accommodates up to 8 guests across two bedrooms and a private casita with two additional beds.
The architecture tells its own story, with warm wood ceilings, stone walls, and floor-to-ceiling glass that dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape. Inside, curated mid-century furnishings and original art create a living space that feels both collected and intentional. Outside, terraced desert gardens, towering saguaro cacti, mature palms, and sculptural boulders frame a heated pool and multiple lounge areas designed for long, unhurried days under the Palm Springs sun. A covered pergola with valley views offers the perfect vantage point for sunset.
The property is equally suited to wellness and entertaining, with private trails, outdoor fire pit areas, a steam room shower, and an outdoor shower. Gourmet holistic dining, hiking and biking access, and the serene rhythm of the desert complete the experience
