4 Luxury Estates from Southport to Los Angeles and Westport

Set in Southport, this estate balances architectural heritage with bespoke modern design, creating a residence that feels both grounded and current. Impeccably finished across three floors, the layout is served by an elevator that brings everyday ease to a home designed for longevity and comfort. An open, light-filled floor plan keeps the interiors airy and connected, with spaces crafted to support effortless living as naturally as they do elegant entertaining. The result is a seamless flow from one level to the next—ideal for quiet mornings at home, intimate dinners, or larger gatherings that benefit from room to spread out without losing a sense of cohesion. Here, thoughtful design and refined execution set the tone for a lifestyle that moves gracefully between tradition and modernity.

From its setting in the Hollywood foothills, Vista Gardens (c. 1938) unfolds as a village-like compound of five individual homes on lush, verdant grounds. Each residence is arranged on a two-story floor plan with dining rooms and libraries, complemented by wood flooring, French doors, and crown molding. Private yards extend daily life outdoors, with patios and terraces that invite quiet mornings and easy evenings. Practicality is equally thoughtful: every home includes a private garage and its own laundry room, with no shared lobbies, elevators, or parking. Within the gated common area, an iconic central fountain courtyard anchors the community alongside private garden spaces. The grand main home offers four bedrooms plus a private garden patio with a swimming pool, moments from Hollywood and West Hollywood.

From its elevated setting in Oak View, this historic 21-acre equestrian estate has been remodeled and updated to support life on a grand, working scale—framed by mountain views and a deep roster of purpose-built amenities. Two four-bedroom main houses are paired with nine rentals, offering flexibility for extended living arrangements. For daily operations, the property includes an 18-stall barn, a 16-stall barn, and five additional barns, along with hay and equipment barns. Training and turnout are well served by 20 covered corrals, four arenas, and two round pens, while a Priefert panel walker adds a professional touch. An entertainment barn and an on-site archery range round out the experience, balancing function with moments of recreation. Days here unfold with room to ride, gather, and reset.
