Welcome to your own tucked-away authentic Italian Villa spread across 1.27 acres. Your private entertainer’s paradise is complete with the ultimate over 1500 sq ft work-from-home office space. With infinite possibilities and parking options to accommodate up to 25 cars, the opportunities for an estate beyond just living are endless.

After embarking up the extended, gated driveway, guests will be ushered from the breathtaking 55,321 square foot grounds heightened with old-world country stonework, mature olive trees, and tiered architecture into your expansive main level. After entering the masterful foyer with high clerestory ceilings, your guests will enjoy lounging in the library or sharing a drink on one of the multiple loggias.

Hosting exquisite soirees in the formal dining room is a breeze with service passages from the kitchen for staff. You can follow dinner by serving drinks from your historic, hand-carved bar to party-goers as they muse on an elevated stage in your cabaret theater. When the festivities conclude, use your elevator to ascend to the abundant primary retreat where each partner can retire to their own separate spa-like, custom bathrooms and separate spacious walk-in closets to prepare for a cozy night’s rest.

Before turning in for the night enjoy a glass of wine and take in the magnificent sunsets on the veranda just outside your personal gym. After a refreshing steam in the ‘men’s club-like’ shower or a soak in the Calacatta-gold Italian marble spa, take the elevator down to your 1,549 square foot production office, recording studio, podcast nest, or screenwriter’s hub while meeting staff entering from a separate outdoor entrance.

Romance, beauty and safety abound from this extraordinary retreat which exudes character and the finest of finishes. The possibilities for your creation are limitless so don’t miss this rare opportunity to own your own piece of Tuscany in the heart of Encino.
