Robert Taylor Ranch, Ranch estate in Brentwood, California, United States.
Robert Taylor Ranch is a private estate in the hills of Brentwood, a residential neighborhood in the western part of Los Angeles, near Mandeville Canyon Road. The property includes a large main residence surrounded by open grounds, set among other upscale hillside properties.
The property was designed in 1956 by architect Robert Byrd for Waite Phillips as a private residence. Actor Robert Taylor later took ownership and kept it until 1969, giving the estate the name it still carries today.
The property was used as a filming location for the thriller The Osterman Weekend, which brought it a degree of recognition among film enthusiasts. Visitors who know the film can spot familiar angles when passing through the area.
The estate is private and not open to visitors, so it can only be seen from the road. Those interested in the area can drive along Mandeville Canyon Road to get a sense of the surrounding hills and the scale of the properties there.
Although the estate is named after actor Robert Taylor, it was originally built for Waite Phillips, a figure from the oil industry with no connection to Hollywood. This means the ranch carried a different identity for years before it became associated with the world of film.
