2859 Coldwater Canyon Drive

Property Overview
Perched atop a private 2.9-acre promontory with expansive views, this storied estate - once home to a Hollywood legend and originally designed by architect William S. Beckett - presents an incredible opportunity. With plans by Woods + Dangaran and Olson Kundig, this is a rare chance to restore one of Los Angeles' iconic architectural estates. A long, gated driveway winds through the property, revealing a multi-structure compound. The main house, reminiscent of Neutra and Lautner, boasts sweeping extended rooflines and walls of glass that frame panoramic views. The three-story creative studio/guest house offers a screening room, three guest bedrooms, a spa level with a gym, massage room, and sauna and expansive rooftop terraces that overlook the private tennis court. Beyond the estate, there is a private gate that lends access to the scenic trails of Franklin Canyon. This is your chance to restore this legendary pedigree property - plans available upon request.
