Owlwood Estate

Owlwood Estate is a large mansion in Holmby Hills featuring six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and extensive grounds with tennis courts and a separate pool house. The property includes multiple buildings set across spacious gardens and landscaped areas.

The mansion was built in 1937 by architect Robert D. Farquhar for a businessman and was the largest residential property in Los Angeles at that time. It later changed hands through various prominent owners who shaped its reputation over the following decades.

The property has housed Hollywood figures over the years, including actors and musicians who featured it in major publications, making it a symbol of luxury living in the area.

The property is situated in a quiet location within an exclusive neighborhood with limited public access. Visitors should note this is a private residence and tours are typically not available without prior arrangements.

The estate acquired its current name in the 1970s because of owls nesting in the mature trees on the grounds. This wildlife presence gave the property its distinctive name that has remained ever since.
