Tucked in the Pacific Palisades—where stars like Brooke Shields, Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, and Matt Damon have owned homes—a luxury listing beckons affluent buyers with its relaxing atmosphere and amenities. Set on more than half an acre, the six-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence effortlessly blends modern sophistication with a serene, forest-like setting. Looking like a treehouse perched on a hillside, the gated sanctuary is asking $23.295 million.
Claudia Vargas Lopez, a designer who runs a successful L.A. staging company called Azul Designs, created the home and is the seller. So, it’s no wonder everything is picture-ready.
From the moment you enter through the grand double steel doors, you’re greeted by soaring ceilings, natural oak floors, and striking views framed by towering walls of glass. The centerpiece is a bespoke kitchen designed by the famed Italian D.I. Group, featuring hand-poured Chukum countertops, top-tier appliances, and a tap that serves hyper-filtered still, sparkling, or hot mineral water. Outside, foldaway double-paneled glass walls blur the line between indoors and out, leading to a plunge pool, modest vineyard, and wine-tasting area. Meandering walking trails and a Zen garden culminate in a tranquil spot dubbed Inspiration Point, designed for meditation.
Wellness also takes center stage at the on-site spa offering “a contrast therapy experience,” per the listing, which includes a cold plunge and hot sauna. Radiant heated floors in each en-suite bathroom ensure comfort on chilly mornings, while a guest casita provides a cozy hideaway for visitors.
Beyond the grounds, wellness enthusiasts will appreciate the home’s location nearby scenic parks like Will Rogers State Historic Park and Temescal Canyon Park. Whether it’s a morning jog or an afternoon stroll in nature, the surrounding area makes embracing a balanced lifestyle easy.
