A very special creative compound in magical Montecito Heights, across from Mt. Washington. Situated on a flat and private promontory and up a gated driveway is this inspiring, verdant retreat on over 20,000 square feet of land. Owls, hummingbirds, and more.
A vintage Spanish hacienda ranch home awash with westerly light and featuring brick walls, lofty whitewashed ceilings, and an updated, fully-appointed chef's kitchen.
The home is uniquely situated on the land, a sunset-facing cedar hot tub, with multiple sprawling outdoor spaces with 40 person table and outdoor kitchen for large-scale entertaining, an 18ft redwood geodesic dome, showcasing sweeping hillside vistas and calm garden views. 4 large garden beds regularly overflowing with produce.
We have events here regularly, and you can too with proper notice.
Special motifs found in wood carvings, door thresholds, and ironwork throughout the home and property celebrate nature, plants, and animals. A detached studio with 3/4 bath is ready for music production, 10 ft projector screen, creative work, play, or guests. A pottery studio with working kiln. A garage and spacious driveway offer plenty of room for cars and storage.
Nearby Deb's park and nature reserve. Short walk to Flattop park overlooking the L.A. skyline. 7 min drive to Figueroa shops, yoga, and all that Highland Park has to offer.
I am a multi-disciplinary artist and will be in and out of L.A. most of the summer.
I have held regular yoga and mediation events here, and would be enthused if you would do the same while you're here. This place is basically designed for retreats.
Someone will be around the corner most of the summer to check in on the garden and other needs.
