CASA ENCANTADA, ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ESTATES IN THE UNITED STATES
Casa Encantada is one of the most beautiful estates in the United States. Historic, iconic, and timeless. Perched on an 8.4-acre fully usable promontory overlooking the Bel Air Country Club, it was built in 1937 by renowned architect James E. Dolena and stands as one of the most significant examples of Los Angeles architecture.
Meticulously restored by Peter Marino in the Hollywood Deco style of the original interior designer, T.H. Robjohns Gibbons, every detail has been carefully considered. The scale and proportions are both grand and refined. The main residence features an elegant foyer with a majestic staircase leading to a grand entrance hall with 14-foot ceilings. There is a spectacular formal dining room, a junior dining room, a walnut-paneled library, a formal living room, and an informal living room with an Art Deco Lucite bar.
All rooms feature intricate period moldings, high ceilings, steel windows, and an abundance of natural light. The upper floor is equally detailed with an expansive master suite, including two sitting rooms, a large primary bedroom, dual marble bathrooms, and walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms offer space for family or guests.
An incredible pool pavilion, perfect for hosting large-scale events, also doubles as a professional cinema/projection room. The irreplaceable and stunning landscape design by Benjamin Purdy includes a 60-foot tiled pool, formal rose gardens, a vegetable and herb garden, a tropical botanical garden, a North/South tennis court with a viewing pavilion, a sports court, and vast lawns.
A full-sized paved road encircles the entire property. Built to be the most significant estate in the country, it has been meticulously maintained and managed to this day. A rare opportunity to acquire a legend, priced at $195,000,000.
