About The Pacific Palisades Estate
"Paradise Found". Once the wooden gates open to an allee of mature Olive trees, one is transported to another place and time. Set on nearly two-thirds of an acre, this gem is truly a world apart. From horse stables to secret gardens, and rolling lawns to a picturesque central courtyard with pool and cabana—every moment is magical. Originally designed by Cliff May and completely renovated to exacting standards, the home features an open floor plan with all rooms flowing into scented gardens.
The primary bedroom
The living room, with its soaring ceiling, converts to a screening room, and the gorgeous gourmet kitchen is bathed in natural light. Steel doors and windows are found throughout, and there is a large, detached guest house offering complete privacy. This property is rare and special in every way and is shown only to prequalified buyers.
