About This Home

As of March 2024

Welcome to Rancho Bizarro, the former estate of a beloved and legendary Hollywood Actor. Housed on almost four and a half acres, this one-of-a-kind equestrian ranch offers wonderful amenities, total tranquility, and space for a broad variety of sport and livestock. Automatic gates tucked away at the end of a cul de sac reveal a unique and private retreat with expansive space to live, ride, work and create amongst multiple structures. The primary residence on the property is a charming 1940's California Ranch-style house featuring three bedrooms, hardwood floors, and rustic exposed beams. Walls of French doors and a glassed-in atrium overlook expansive meadows, mature trees, and a large free-form pool. A large flex space invites your imagination to serve a multitude of uses: it could easily house an extensive home gym, fully furnished rehearsal space for dance or theater performance, or a light-filled art studio. Beautiful, covered patios and custom-tiled outdoor dining spaces flank this central building for luxurious al fresco breakfasts or evening entertaining for you and your guests. Across the lawn is a guest cottage with a bath, as well as an oversized detached garage and storage space. The spectacular equestrian areas include a fully equipped barn with eleven horse stalls, a tack room, laundry room and two grooming stalls. A clubhouse viewing room with a bathroom is situated to observe the professionally lighted and mirrored riding arena just outside. The grounds also include two round pens, a goat pen with resident goats Cocoa and Caramel, and two friendly ducks named Baby and Johnny who enjoy lounging under the lush trees on the property. An indelible part of Hollywood history, this estate has numerous walking and hiking opportunities, views of the ridgetop, and private, rustic quality of life a short distance from the best parts of Los Angeles.
