Property Description

Nichols Canyon Paradiso is a rare Hollywood Hills sanctuary set on nearly an acre, a true fortress of privacy that blends Mid-Century Modern and architectural rigor with the elemental calm and soulfulness of Big Sur, evoking the serenity and romance of Post Ranch Inn. Encompassing approximately 6,000 square feet, the estate was reimagined in 1991 as a creative refuge for legendary Eagles songwriter JD Souther, who enjoyed the stand-alone creative studio on the property, and later the property was expanded by renowned architect Stephen Kanner, FAIA, resulting in a home that feels both deeply personal and quietly monumental. The architecture is a masterclass in organic design, with massive glass sliders, stone fireplaces, and natural materials that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, framing lush, forested canyon views in every direction. The expansive grounds are a true canyon rarity, offering a resort-like experience with a swimming pool newly resurfaced in luxurious midnight blue micro pebble, winding walking paths, a private vineyard overlooking an outdoor feasting terrace nestled among fruit trees. Adding to this abundance, is a discreet, near-secret access point to the trails of Runyon Canyon Park just steps away. Designed to nurture creative life, the home features a professional-grade Chef's Kitchen, a state-of-the-art private screening room, and multiple inspired spaces for work and retreat, including the detached creative studio and a stone-and-wood guest cottage rich with character. The layout includes five generous bedrooms, anchored by a secluded primary wing that feels like a true retreat, often described as a personal "stairway to heaven." Currently owned by the creator and director of Netflix's Chef's Table, the property seamlessly reflects its owners' sensibility, balancing cinematic scale with intimate craftsmanship and soulful detail. Tucked into a coveted Nichols Canyon enclave, the estate offers a transportive, retreat-like atmosphere while remaining moments from the city's most celebrated dining and cultural destinations. This is a legacy property for those looking to check in anytime, but never leave.
