About this property
On a clear evening from this hilltop, the Pacific, Catalina Island, the surrounding hills, and the lights of the city all come into view at once. This custom estate is set within the 24-hour guard-gated community of Friendly Hills Estates and sits on a half-acre parcel, the most usable land the neighborhood has to offer. A grand courtyard and generous motor court, with parking for more than ten cars, welcome you home. Inside, over 5,900 square feet unfold beneath high ceilings, with balconies extending the living space outdoors. At the heart of the home, the kitchen centers on an oversized island, premium appliances, and bespoke cabinetry, and it opens to the family living areas. For entertaining, there is a formal dining room overlooking the hills and a dedicated music room for the grand piano. The primary retreat has its own fireplace and balcony. It is complemented by a spa bath with steam shower and a custom-fitted walk-in closet. Four further bedrooms each have a private bath, and a separate office supports work from home. The grounds encircle the residence completely. Terraced gardens and established fruit trees lead to a gazebo positioned for the most commanding outlook on the property. Space like this is rarely found behind the gates of Friendly Hills

Calculated 2026-10-19 07:09 UTC. Source: this website's authorized MLS inventory. Import progress, freshness rules and coverage affect the figures. Medians exclude missing/invalid values; price per sq ft is the median of individual listing ratios. Price observations are limited to the last 24 per listing and may miss changes between refreshes. This is not a complete 30-day market report, historical inventory trend, appreciation measure, or sold-price analysis.
Payment calculator
Explore a fixed-rate loan scenario. The price comes from this listing; a 20% down payment and 30-year term are starting assumptions, not requirements. Enter your own interest rate—not APR—and estimated costs.
Illustration only—not a rate quote, preapproval, lending offer or affordability determination. Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
