Sixty feet of saline water, heated, still, with the sycamore canopy filtering the midday sun into soft green light overhead. You're floating in the lap pool at 800 Brooktree Road, and the only sounds are the two creeks running somewhere beyond the tree line and a single bird you can't identify calling from the branches of a coastal oak. The Alaskan cedar deck is warm beneath your towel. The standalone pool house, its own bedroom, its own bath, sits quietly at the property's edge. And for a moment, you forget entirely that you're on the Westside of Los Angeles, five minutes from the beach, ten minutes from Montana Avenue, and sitting on over an acre of land that Jay Griffith landscaped to feel like it was never touched. Back inside, the house confirms everything the grounds promise. Bill Neburka designed 800 Brooktree to move with the landscape, not against it, curves instead of corners, floor-to-ceiling glass framed in natural wood, rooms that face directly into the sycamore grove rather than away from it. The living room rises to 15-foot ceilings. The chef's kitchen and music room share the same view. The walls are hand-troweled Clayworks plaster. The floors are wide-plank white oak. Heath tiles, Vola brass fixtures, Reveal lift-and-slide doors, every material chosen for the way it ages, not the way it photographs. Jeff Guga's interiors keep the tones soft and the textures real, and Sofia Londono's abstract sycamore installation in the entry makes the connection between art and nature feel not just intentional, but inevitable. Upstairs, eight bedrooms—including a primary suite that looks out over a stand of coastal oaks—give the house the kind of capacity that a family, a gathering, or a full summer of houseguests can't exhaust. A sound studio, library, wine cellar, and home office add layers of daily utility. But the real draw is always outside: the cedar decks, the pool, the creeks, the light moving through twenty-plus mature trees on a property that has the rare and almost impossible quality of being both completely private and completely convenient. The frogs sing at night. The beach is five minutes away. And somewhere between those two facts, 800 Brooktree Road becomes less a house you bought and more a place you were always supposed to find.

Over One Acre in Rustic Canyon – More than twenty sycamores and coastal oaks, two year-round creeks, and a Jay Griffith–designed landscape of Alaskan cedar decks and native plantings compose one of the most extraordinary private settings in Pacific Palisades—minutes from the beach.

Bill Neburka's Organic Architecture – Custom-built in 2022, this 9,708-square-foot, eight-bedroom residence was designed around curves, natural light, and an inviting material palette that harmonizes with the canyon setting rather than announcing itself above it.

Artisan Finishes by Jeff Guga – Hand-troweled Clayworks plaster, wide-plank white oak floors, California-made Heath tiles, hand-crafted Vola brass fixtures, custom LED skylights, and Reveal lift-and-slide doors—materials chosen to last, age, and reward close attention.

60-Foot Saline Lap Pool & Pool House – A generous saline pool set beneath the sycamore canopy anchors the outdoor living experience, complemented by a standalone pool house with its own bedroom and bath for guests, creative retreat, or complete privacy.

Sound Studio, Music Room, Library & Wine Cellar – Beyond the chef's kitchen and formal living spaces, the estate offers a suite of creative and entertaining rooms designed for a household that values both focused work and generous, unhurried hosting.
