Located on prestigious Picacho Lane, the compound was designed by Don McNulty and completed in 2009. From the 2018 Los Angeles Times article about the first attempt: “The main house is comprised of 20 rooms, including a den/music room with a bar, family and commercial kitchens, an office, a screening room and a gym. The master suite has one of nine indoor fireplaces and a lavish bath for a total of six bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms. […] The manicured grounds, which include two outdoor fireplaces, fountain features and a koi pond, were done by landscape architect Mark Rios and feng shui consultant David Cho. The guesthouse adds two additional bedrooms plus a kitchenette. Staff quarters, a bedroom and a full kitchen make up the pool house.”
A long driveway—the lot is off the street—leads to the impressive entrance.
The interior design, by Kyle Irwin, is traditional without being fusty.
This is presumably not the catering kitchen….
There are myriad entertaining spaces
The main loggia looks like it belongs in a very fancy inn.

The tennis court, complete with two viewing areas:
The guest house:
