Hollywood Mountain

Among the irreplaceable assets of the world, Hollywood Mountain is a 7.3-acre private promontory perched majestically above the Los Angeles. Above it all, Hollywood Mountain offers breathtaking views encompassing the entirety of Los Angeles, from the Pacific Ocean to the Hollywood Sign. This panoramic sightline is widely acclaimed as the absolute best view offered by any property in the City of Angels.
At Hollywood Mountain’s apex stands the 20,432 square-foot Japanese Temple Villa, adorned with Japanese gardens and an open-air courtyard, which is currently home to the world-famous Yamashiro restaurant. Its unique architecture hearkens back to its construction in 1914, boasting a history as rich and storied as Hollywood itself. As a haven for the industry elites of Hollywood’s Golden Age, the estate played host to legendary gatherings by the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe. The villa has since become a sought-after filming location, gracing the screens in over 100 Hollywood productions, including iconic scenes in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill and Rob Marshall’s Memoirs of a Geisha.
The story of the Hollywood Mountain is far from finished, presenting abundant opportunities for potential reinvention or expansion. The concentric terraced gardens surrounding the centerpiece villa offer extraordinary potential for new development, ranging from mixed-use spaces, single-family compound, resort or even art foundation gallery/museum space. Positioned with exceptionally convenient access to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Downtown LA, and the beach cities, the Hollywood Mountain is at the geographic heart of Los Angeles.
The Hollywood Mountain presents a rare opportunity to own both a piece of history and endless potential for the future.
