A Topanga Hills retreat still within minutes of Calabasas, Malibu and the Valley is on the market for $7.995 million.
The Los Angeles property is a gem for its nine-plus acres of land and location atop a hillside mesa. But what also makes it a standout is its starry past at the former home of Academy Award-winning actress Renée Zellweger.
Following a recent rebuild, the Hillside Drive home showcases Spanish ranch charm without losing its luxurious, Hollywood-approved touch.
Beyond the private gates, the driveway leads to a gravel motor court for ample parking at the canyon-surrounded property. Inside, the contemporary hacienda spreads across 4,414 square feet.
Modern flourishes like state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen appliances and an infinity-edge pool provide lifestyle balance to the elegance of Venetian-plastered arches, Spanish tiles, wood-beamed ceilings and wood-burning fireplaces crafted by a European stonemason.
One of the fireplaces can be found in the great room, which directly opens up to the backyard where you can find another fireplace. Elsewhere in the home, the four bedrooms maintain a tranquil energy with posh white walls, oak touches and an abundance of natural light.
Among the five bathrooms, the primary bath couples a marbled rainfall shower with a polished freestanding tub. Meanwhile, the backyard embodies a desert resort with stone tiling, a spa-accompanied pool with mountain views, string light-lined roofing and a variety of succulents.
A media room, dining room and secondary space complete the home, which can be used as an office or mudroom, fitting for homeowners keen to explore the nearby meadows and private hiking trails.
