The gates of Hidden Hills close behind you, and the world changes. The road narrows. The sky opens. The noise of the Ventura Freeway, of Calabasas, of Los Angeles itself, falls away. You are in one of the most private residential communities in Southern California, a place where fewer than 600 homes share 1,600 acres of rolling terrain. This is where 5546 Jed Smith Road begins: not with the house, but with the arriving.
The estate reveals itself gradually. A circular driveway with stone fountains leads to a facade of warm, hand-selected materials that read as French Country but feel entirely modern. The architecture, completed in 2018, avoids the theatrical gestures of new construction in favor of proportion, natural light, and rooms that connect to each other with purpose. At nearly 14,000 square feet across two levels, this is a large home that never feels cavernous.
Inside, the design language is consistent: wide-plank floors, hand-finished millwork, stone surfaces that were chosen for character rather than uniformity. The kitchen is the center of gravity, opening without seam to the family room. A private movie theater, paneled office, game room with wet bar, two-story gym with sauna, and an ultra-modern recording studio are distributed across the floor plan, each given its own atmosphere.
But the true measure of this property is the land. Two parcels totaling 2.34 acres unfold behind the house into gardens, a zero-edge pool with Baja entry, an outdoor living room with fireplace, a barbecue pavilion, and a working vineyard that produces wine from its own vines. A full guest house with its own kitchen and private driveway sits apart from the main residence. The twelve-car garage completes a property built for permanence.
"The grounds unfold like a private countryside escape, with a personal vineyard that actively produces wine, lending the property a true estate character."
This exceptional custom estate presents a sophisticated French Country Modern sensibility that is both architectural and enduring. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully proportioned, the home offers a sense of quiet luxury rooted in quality and craftsmanship rather than trend.
At the heart of the residence, a stellar gourmet kitchen opens to the family room, creating a natural gathering point anchored by light and scale. An adjoining game room with wet bar extends the entertaining space, while a private movie theater, custom paneled formal office, and a two-story gym with sauna and massage room each occupy their own distinct wing.
A discreet private elevator serves the home across levels. The primary suite offers an all-stone bath, steam shower, and large dual custom closets designed without compromise. A full guest house with its own kitchen and private driveway offers exceptional flexibility, complemented by a twelve-car garage across the estate.

The Neighborhood
Hidden Hills is not a neighborhood in the conventional sense. It is a gated, incorporated city of fewer than 2,000 residents, situated at the western edge of the San Fernando Valley where the flatlands give way to the Santa Monica Mountains. The community was founded in the 1950s with a simple premise: preserve the feeling of rural California within reach of Los Angeles. That premise has held.
Behind the guarded gates, the landscape is defined by wide equestrian trails, rolling pastures, mature oaks, and a near-total absence of sidewalks. Horses share the roads with cars. Properties are measured in acres, not square feet of lot. There is no commercial zoning. No through traffic. The community pool, tennis courts, and park are shared by families who chose Hidden Hills precisely because it feels nothing like the city that surrounds it.
And yet Los Angeles is close. Calabasas, with its restaurants, shops, and top-rated schools in the Las Virgenes Unified district, sits just outside the gates. The 101 Freeway connects to the Westside, the studios in Burbank, and downtown. Malibu is a short drive over the mountains. Hidden Hills offers the rarest combination in Southern California: true privacy with genuine proximity.
