Entering The Crown Jewel of Los Angeles

The entrance to the main house begins with a long, patterned motor court framed by tightly clipped hedges and palm trees, guiding you directly toward a symmetrical façade finished in warm stucco and stone.

Stepping beneath the stone arch, the ceiling lowers slightly and is finished in coffered stone, with a series of hanging lanterns aligned down the center, pulling you forward.

The floor transitions into a geometric inlay of polished stone, directing you through the space.

Tall glass doors sit within the archway, and beyond them, a straight-through sightline opens up, offering a framed view into the inner courtyard featuring a fountain and lounge.

Living Areas

Inside, the main residence unfolds through a series of distinct living areas, each designed for its own purpose while maintaining a consistent connection to the home’s architectural style.

Art-Filled Living Room

This primary gathering space is defined by a detailed coffered wood ceiling that draws the eye upward, adding depth and texture across the entire room.

Seating is arranged in multiple groups, with sofas and armchairs centered around a large coffee table, while walls are lined with bold, gallery-style artwork.

Sunlit Lounge with Gaming Corner

Not far away, a more relaxed lounge has direct access to a terrace through steel-framed glass doors.

A compact table set near the windows creates a dedicated spot for games or casual gatherings, surrounded by soft seating that faces both inward and outward.

Media Room

Set apart from the brighter spaces, the media room introduces a more enclosed and layered environment, defined by patterned tile wainscoting and a central fireplace.

Seating faces a mounted screen above the mantel, creating a clear focal point for viewing, while a mix of sofas and chairs allows for flexible everyday use.

Family Kitchen

The family kitchen continues the main residence’s light, tailored palette, with pale wood cabinetry wrapping the walls and a large marble-topped island in the center of the room.

Beyond the work area, the room opens into a casual dining and sitting space lined with tall steel-framed windows and doors.

A round table sits at the center, with upholstered chairs and a nearby sofa creating a more relaxed everyday gathering area against the windows.

Commercial-Grade Kitchen

For more large-scale entertaining, the home has a commercial-grade kitchen with stainless-steel prep stations, open shelving, and rows of professional cookware.

Wide work aisles run between the cooking zones, giving the room the layout and capacity of a full catering kitchen.

Interior Amenities

The main house extends into a series of highly specialized amenity spaces, each designed to add a different luxury to the estate.

Bar Lounge

The bar lounge continues the estate’s Moroccan influence into a fully immersive entertaining space lined with a variety of sitting spaces.

Engraved brass cabinetry, arched doorways, mirrored panels, and warm lantern lighting create a jewel-box transition from the blue sitting room into the bar area.

Movie Theater

The movie theater is finished with carved wood paneling, patterned wall panels, and rows of leather recliners.

A large screen anchors the room, while the layered ceiling and detailed trim give the space a private screening-room look.

Beauty Salon

The beauty salon is bright with backlit mirrors, white counters, and multiple styling and treatment stations for manicures, pedicures, and hair styling.

Full-Service Spa

The spa area continues the Moroccan detailing with patterned tile walls, pendant lanterns, and a large glass-enclosed hammam.

Nearby, the ice and hot plunge pools are set into the floor, creating a dedicated wellness zone in addition to a sauna and treatment rooms.

Indoor Pool

The indoor pool is one of the home’s most elaborate amenity spaces, framed by tiled columns, carved ceiling details, and a large skylight overhead.

Outdoor Spaces

The outdoor grounds extend the same level of structure and symmetry seen inside.

Outdoor Dining Pavilion

The outdoor dining pavilion sits beneath a circular, patterned dome supported by stone columns, opening directly onto the lawn.

Within the space, a long central table is surrounded by woven chairs, while overhead heaters and a chandelier make the space usable across seasons.

Central Fountain

Running through the middle of the grounds, a series of tiered stone fountains creates a linear water feature that draws the eye straight back toward the main house.

Framed by parallel walking paths and rows of mature olive trees, it creates a formal transition between the main house and the guest quarters.

Main Pool

At the center of the backyard, the main pool has a geometric shape and is framed by palm trees, lounge seating, art sculptures.

Guest House Pool

Near the guest house, a second pool takes on a more relaxed layout with an infinity edge that faces out over the surrounding greenery. Low-profile loungers and a shaded cabana line the deck, keeping the focus on the open horizon.

Tennis Court

Set off to the side of the property, the tennis court is enclosed by hedges and fencing, with the pool house in line with the center of the court.

Final Thoughts

Developed over more than ten years, this estate reflects a long-term investment focused on scale, privacy, and infrastructure.

Its connection to the Al-Thani family adds to its profile as a high-value global asset and status as a trophey estate.

For a future buyer, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale Los Angeles compound with extensive amenities, operational capacity, and a location positioned at the top of the city and the Bel Air market.
