Art collectors looking for a new home might want to consider this Los Angeles estate, with its unique design, ocean views and secluded setting close to the Getty art museum.
The property has a modern, sculptural design in muted grey and features arched openings that peer over its lush setting in the Hollywood Hills. It has resort-like amenities and offers a one-of-a-kind experience: It has two luxury yurts with ocean views accessed via a private funicular, a cable-driven railway, within its grounds. It lies in affluent Brentwood on the west side of Los Angeles.

Art is on show everywhere in the home, which was built by a real estate developer, according to its co-selling agent Stuart Vetterick.
“The owner was drawn to its private setting and proximity to the museum. From top to bottom, and all the way up the hillside to where the yurts sit, the house and grounds feel entirely bespoke…nearly every detail is unlike anything you will find elsewhere, and being there is as exciting as it is rare,” Vetterick said.
Rebuilt from an existing structure, its interior and exterior were completely transformed by local architects, Studio Shamshiri, without changing its original footprint. Its front entrance has sculptural curves and a soaring helical staircase. Indoor spaces link to the outdoor areas for ease of entertaining and everyday living. Its polished interiors have a hand trowelled stucco finish and feature bronze accents, and high-quality stone and timber flooring.
The most striking room is the main reception space, almost church-like with high ceilings, a row of arched doors and full height, central fireplace—one of seven in the home. The fireplace and adjoining walls create a vast space for a triptych of art. Its top-floor primary bathroom, meanwhile, has a spa-like bath with a striking natural view from a sweeping window arch. One floor up is a spacious rooftop terrace with a fireplace.
Its secluded setting is best enjoyed from its Moroccan-influenced outdoor pool with multiple lounging and entertaining terraces. But for the best views, a custom-built funicular brings residents and guests up to the yurts, which were envisioned as a way to elevate the living experience beyond the main residence. Its walled grounds are gated for total privacy, and it lies on a separately gated street shared with only six other homes.

Neighborhood Notes
The property lies within a gated enclave on Brentridge Road in the neighborhood of Brentwood, Los Angeles’s Westside. It is surrounded by natural landscapes and is a short walk from the Getty Center, which includes the eponymous art museum and overlooks Brentwood.
Brentwood is a mainly residential area, with a suburban vibe, known for its low-key elegance, beautiful homes, and slower pace of life.
