One of the most extraordinary compounds in all of Southern California, this legendary estate with ties to Walt Disney encompasses 4.44 sprawling acres and blends East Coast elegance with Old Hollywood grandeur in a extremely private setting that feels worlds away from city life. Originally custom-built for renowned Academy award winning director/actor John Huston, this traditional home was crafted with a magical, enduring level of craftsmanship that's increasingly rare in today's architecture. Walt Disney- an avid train enthusiast later brought his vision to the property, helping to design the now-iconic Tunnel, Cut & Trestle Railroad: a fully operational 7.5" gauge miniature train that winds through the estate, complete with a working depot, turntable, bridges, and a fascinating tunnel that is over 240 ft in length. The 17,181 sqft gated compound includes a 12,170 sqft main residence with 6 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 9 fireplaces, a grand primary suite, and a lower 1,222 sqft covered terrace








The barn








There really isn't anything I don't like about this property. Wonder if they'd let it go for 15?

Chicken should buy it and turn it into a TD premium members clubhouse.

Honestly, being 100% truthful, it’s not worth that.

I clicked the link to make sure there's a dishwasher. Otherwise, no deal.

Really fantastic property.

Interior decor is a little too 1990s Cracker Barrel for my taste though.

At 15x the median home price in that city, it’s really expensive. It’s essentially where all of the help from calabassas and bel aire congregate.

Are $20 mil compounds really like gas with the "ending in 9's" schtick?
