At the very end of a private Hollywood Hills promontory sits something increasingly difficult to find in Los Angeles: a home that feels completely removed from the city while overlooking all of it. Perched in a rare, exceptionally private setting, this romantic Mediterranean estate was created for someone who wants the beauty and energy of the Hollywood Hills without sacrificing peace, security, or discretion. Sweeping city views surround the property, yet the home feels tucked away in its own world. That sense of retreat continues inside. No expense was spared in the fully custom interiors, with hand-selected walnut hardwood floors, Waterworks fixtures, artisan tilework, bespoke cabinetry, and natural materials chosen throughout. The chef's kitchen pairs Viking appliances with a seamlessly integrated Liebherr refrigerator and opens directly into expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces. But what makes this property unusual goes beyond finishes. The home was designed around privacy, wellness, and peace of mind. Whole-house Aquasana water filtration and IQAir-filtered HVAC support a healthier living environment, while a sophisticated security system and rolling tamper-proof, bullet-resistant shutters allow the home to become extraordinarily secure within moments. Outside, multiple terraces unfold toward a sparkling pool, bubbling fountains, a fire pit, cabana, and two additional outdoor fireplaces, all set against panoramic city views that become even more dramatic after dark. A rare direct-access three-car garage, Sonos surround sound, and integrated smart-home controls for lighting, cameras, and security make the property effortless to live in whether you are home or away. The result is the thing you almost never get in Los Angeles: expansive Hollywood Hills views with the feeling that no one else is there. Set on a large private lot with room for possibility, this is more than a beautifully finished home. It is a true hideaway above the city.
