Hollywood Mountain

Hollywood Mountain is at the geographic heart of Los Angeles. Unique in Los Angeles, Hollywood Mountain comprises an entire promontory and is positioned with exceptionally convenient access to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Downtown LA, and the beach cities. This unique topography not only provides unparalleled views, but an unrivaled sense of privacy and seclusion, above it all. The property is served by both private access roads and North Sycamore Avenue & Fitch Drive, which rarely receive through traffic. Hollywood Mountain lies at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountain range adjacent to the Cahuenga pass, with its peak rising over 600 feet above the Los Angeles basin. This exceptional geography provides stunning jet-liner views from the Pacific Ocean to the San Gabriel Mountains some forty miles east. Particularly to the south and southeast are unimpeded sightlines for dozens of miles and include views of Downtown Los Angeles, Century City, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.Hollywood Mountain is a sanctuary hidden in the heart of the Hollywood Hills. Situated atop a 600-foot summit, this 7.3-acre private hilltop presents the opportunity to own one of the world’s great landmarks. Perched majestically above the city, Hollywood Mountain offers a breathtaking vista encompassing the entirety of Los Angeles, from Santa Monica to Downtown and beyond. This panoramic sightline is widely acclaimed as the absolute best view offered by any property in the City of Angels. At Hollywood Mountain’s apex stands a 20,432 square-foot Japanese Revival villa, adorned with Japanese gardens and an open-air courtyard. Its unique architecture hearkens back to its construction in 1914, boasting a history as rich and storied as Hollywood itself. As a haven for the industry elites of Hollywood’s Golden Age, the estate played host to legendary gatherings by the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe. The villa has since become a sought-after filming location, gracing the screens in over 100 Hollywood productions, including iconic scenes in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill and Rob Marshall’s Memoirs of a Geisha. The story of the Hollywood Mountain is far from finished, presenting abundant opportunities for potential reinvention or expansion. The concentric terraced gardens surrounding the centerpiece villa offer extraordinary potential for new development, ranging from mixed-use spaces, single-family compound, resort or even art foundation gallery/museum space. The Hollywood Mountain presents a rare opportunity to own both a piece of history and endless potential for the future. We encourage you to explore this breathtaking gem.
