Inside a Modern Farmhouse Estate in Hidden Hills with 16,779 Sq Ft of Living Space

A Modern Farmhouse in Hidden Hills

The house sits within Ashley Ridge, the estate section of Hidden Hills, known for its large lots, substantial homes and elevated views. Blair describes the architectural style as “Modern Farmhouse” while the wider setting offers an unusual combination of privacy and space within Los Angeles. Hidden Hills is an incorporated, gated and walled city with no sidewalks, and the property has been designed around its generous setting, with large setbacks, a four-car garage and extensive off-street parking.

An Arrival Framed by Architecture

The entrance introduces several of the details that continue throughout the house, including Venetian plaster walls, wood inlays and steel-framed windows and doors. At the center of the courtyard, an olive tree sits beneath a skylight, bringing natural light into the arrival space. Blair describes the property as “the only one of its kind” highlighting the combination of materials and architectural details that give the new-build home its individual character.

A Private Home Office

Tucked into one corner of the main level, the office has been given its own identity through a steel window and door treatment, dark inset wood and a pitched ceiling. A full bathroom makes the room particularly practical, while its position away from the main living areas gives it a degree of separation. As Blair points out, “the owner hid the office in this corner” creating a private workspace within the larger floor plan.

Dining with Garden Views

The dining room sits beside the main living areas and is defined by two large picture windows looking towards the exterior garden. A sculptural light fixture provides a focal point above the dining area, while the surrounding finishes continue the home’s restrained palette of beige, brown and off-white tones. The room connects naturally with the entertaining spaces beyond, keeping the garden and wider setting visible from inside.

The Heart of the Home

At the center of the home is an open sequence of kitchen, family room, bar and wine storage spaces. “This is where most people are going to live” Blair says, pointing to the way the spaces open towards one another and the outdoors. A double-sided fireplace anchors the main living area, while granite facing, substantial millwork and shelving add texture. Despite the scale of the property, Blair notes that “you can come in just as a single person and sit down and not feel overwhelmed in the room.”

The main kitchen combines dark soapstone, contrasting wood tones and lighter granite, with a six-burner range, grill cooktop, two ovens and additional appliances. Behind it, a separate back kitchen provides extra preparation and storage space, complete with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and another range. It is designed to support entertaining without interrupting the main living areas, allowing dishes and preparation to be kept out of sight while guests remain in the front kitchen and bar area.

A Cozy Lounge and Wellness Center

Beyond the main living spaces, a more intimate lounge provides a television area, built-in shelving and bookcases, positioned beside a large gym. The gym is one of the home’s most extensive lifestyle spaces, with views and natural light rather than a subterranean setting. Blair describes it as “a true wellness center” with a sauna, steam shower and dedicated massage room, creating a private space for exercise and recovery within the home.

A Dedicated Home Theater

The home theater brings a more immersive atmosphere through fabric wall and ceiling treatments, acoustic-grade materials and oak detailing. Candy displays and substantial built-in storage add a playful residential touch, while the ceiling treatment echoes details found elsewhere in the house. The theater is another example of the extensive millwork throughout the property, which Blair describes as “really substantial.”

The Primary Suite

Upstairs, the primary suite is arranged around views towards Warner Center, with a high-volume ceiling, clear-story windows, exposed beams and a detailed millwork bed wall. Two separate bathrooms and dressing areas gives away the size of the room, while a private wet bar adds another layer of convenience. Blair describes it as “an awesome primary suite” particularly noting how the generous proportions still allow the space to feel warm and residential.

An Upstairs Family Room

The upper level also includes a substantial family room with the same timber ceiling treatment used elsewhere in the house. Fleetwood sliding doors open towards the views, while a pool table, bookshelves and additional storage make the room suited to both everyday family life and informal entertaining. Three further bedroom suites sit on this level, each benefiting from the scale and views that characterise the upper floor.

Bedrooms with Views

The home contains six bedrooms in total, with four upstairs and two on the main level. The secondary bedrooms continue the home’s generous room sizes, with ensuite bathrooms and views across the surrounding landscape. Their position on the upper level gives the bedrooms a clear connection to the setting, while the repeated architectural details maintain continuity throughout the house.

Outdoor Living in Hidden Hills

Outside, a covered patio extends the home’s entertaining spaces into the garden, with built-in speakers, heaters, timber detailing and a stone fireplace. An outdoor dining area sits alongside the large lawn, while a second seating area includes another fireplace, pool table, barbecue, wine storage and wet bar.
