Location: Hidden Hills, California

Price: $12.999 million

In the coveted and historical neighborhood of Hidden Hills, parents can be seen riding their horses to the gate of the local elementary school, Round Meadow, to pick up their kids, according to Emil Hartoonian of The Agency. Mr. Hartoonian said the "old world" lifestyle, so carefully preserved by the Hidden Hills community, makes it "a gorgeous place to raise a family."

The community of roughly 600 homes lies within a fully gated estate with 24-hour security. Development in the area started in the 1950s and ’60s, and the authentic character of the neighborhood has been maintained since.

The homes of Hidden Hills are required to be consistent in style, in keeping with the clean and classic elegance of Cape Cod farm houses, French country homes, and an equestrian lifestyle.

This home on Long Valley Road is no exception. Lending it character and class are its soaring double-height entryway, well-scaled living spaces, and wide-plank hardwood floors. The home features French doors and farmhouse windows throughout, as well as Italian marble details and antique fireplaces imported from France.

Stats

The 9,593-square-foot, two-story home contains six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, and sits on one-and-a-half acres of land.

Amenities

The residence is equipped with more than 20 televisions, many of which are concealed behind designer mirrors, including a custom pop-up screen powered by drone technology in the master suite. The complete entertainment system is automated by Savant technology.

The house’s custom home theater is equipped with a PRIMA system, making its sound quality "literally to the point of being natural," according to Mr. Hartoonian. It also features thumbprint authentication, which allows its owners to play any movie in theaters, even on opening night. The custom suede-herringbone wallpaper acts as a sound barrier to the room.

As well as its second-to-none home entertainment features, the home also features a zero-edged pool, a gym and spa, and three garages. Its sprawling lawns, studded with mature shade trees, are completed by horse stables, a games court and a children’s playground.

Design pedigree

Every detail of the home—from its specialized tilework and color schemes down to its hardware—has been impeccably curated by high profile designer Windsor Smith. Mr. Hartoonian speaks of her "unreal level of craftsmanship," and how in the case of this house, Ms. Smith has created an "amazing piece of art, every detail, every corner, every wall." In-keeping with the Hidden Hills ethos, Ms. Smith specializes in combining modern refinement with time-honored tradition.

Neighborhood notes

Hidden Hills, as well as being a traditional oasis, is something of a celebrity enclave. The neighborhood is home to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Kris and Kylie Jenner, as well as hip hop artist French Montana.

Despite feeling private and secluded, Hidden Hills is also conveniently located, just a 20-minute drive from the heart of Beverly Hills.
