Known as the "Castle of Hope," this estate beautifully captures the allure of Old Hollywood while offering every modern luxury, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those seeking both legacy and charm.

Once inside the gates, you’re transported to a magical setting reminiscent of an Italian or Spanish hilltop villa. The estate feels like a private oasis, surrounded by panoramic views of the city, mountains, and valley. As a bonus, you'll enjoy watching fireworks over Universal Studios’ Hogwarts Castle from your own backyard, adding a touch of enchantment to this already extraordinary home.

Set on over half an acre of expertly landscaped grounds, the walled and gated estate ensures complete privacy, enhanced by two separate automobile entrances that lead to a 3-car garage and adjacent carport. The breathtaking views, combined with the property’s seclusion, offer the ultimate blend of privacy and exclusivity.

Entering through the grand courtyard into the main residence, you’ll be captivated by vaulted ceilings, intricate detailing, and the classic grandeur reminiscent of the rockstars, moguls, and creative legends who once called this sanctuary home. The oversized living room exudes opulence with its soaring ceilings, dramatic fireplace, and intimate library nook, offering the ideal setting for lavish gatherings or cozy nights in. The formal dining room comfortably seats 12 and opens onto one of several elegant patios, perfect for alfresco dining. A thoughtfully designed chef’s kitchen, with bar seating and a breakfast nook, provides a chic, informal space for entertaining close friends or enjoying intimate moments with loved ones.

Each of the four bedrooms in the main house is its own retreat, brimming with character and offering stunning treetop views. The architectural integrity of the home has been preserved with hand-laid Spanish tiles and vintage-inspired fixtures, while smart updates seamlessly blend history with modernity. The luxurious primary suite boasts its own private patio with wrought iron railings and Spanish tiles, evoking the romance of a Mediterranean villa.

The two-story guest house offers versatile living spaces, making it ideal for a variety of uses. The main level includes a spacious room, bathroom, and laundry facilities, while the second floor features a living area with a kitchenette and another bath. The lower level houses an impressive wine cellar and gym, adding even more luxury and functionality to the estate.
The grounds of Castillo de la Esperanza are as enchanting as the home itself. Terraces, courtyards, and fountains blend seamlessly with a sparkling pool and spa, while verdant, water-wise gardens with an irrigation system surround the property. This backyard oasis, with its rustic poolside pavilion, is perfect for hosting exclusive soirées or creating unforgettable moments with guests.

With its storied past—having housed rockstars and cosmetic moguls—to its breathtaking views, Castillo de la Esperanza is more than just a home; it’s a statement. Whether you’re seeking a luxurious retreat or a showstopping venue for entertaining Hollywood’s elite, this estate offers the ultimate blend of history, glamour, and rockstar energy.
