Hollywood Mountain is a private, secure 7.31-acre compound in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, located 600 feet above Hollywood, listed at $100,000,000. The listing says its views take in all of Los Angeles, from the Pacific Ocean to the Hollywood Sign, and calls the sightline widely acclaimed as the best view of any property in the city.
At the summit stands the 20,432 square foot Japanese Temple Villa, handcrafted in 1914 with cedar and teak by hundreds of artisans, with Japanese gardens and an open-air courtyard that is currently home to the Yamashiro restaurant. The compound also has outbuildings, shrines, and temples, some among the oldest structures in California. Over several generations the villa has served as a hotel, restaurant, gallery, and gathering place for Hollywood's elite social clubs, hosted gatherings by figures such as Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe, and has been a filming location for over 100 Hollywood productions, including Kill Bill and Memoirs of a Geisha.
The listing sees potential for reinvention or expansion: its concentric terraced gardens could host new development ranging from mixed-use spaces to single-family compounds, resorts, or an art foundation gallery or museum. The hilltop setting offers easy access to West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and downtown Los Angeles.
