About This Home

As of May 2025

Surrounded by nature, this private mid-century modern home sits on an expansive lot in Pacific Palisades. This impressive property features a main house, a guesthouse, a garden full of pathways, a rock waterfall, pool and a 2 car garage all situated on close to a 30,000 sq ft lot. Enter through the 8 foot double doors into an impressive entranceway, followed by the spacious living room and sitting room leading to the magnificent garden. The impressive primary bedroom is one of 4 and includes 2 walk-in closets and a glassed-in sitting room where you have access to the pool and yard. The dining room with floor to ceiling windows offer views of the garden. There is a 2-room guesthouse including a full bathroom and private deck with peek-a-boo ocean views situated a good distance from the main house allowing for privacy. The guesthouse is a modern Japanese style design with bamboo, glass and a stone exterior wall on one side. Some of the many special characteristics of this property include a garden with over 800 varieties of plants and trees so unique it feels like you are living in your own private park. The winding paths contain sculptures throughout, and have several sitting areas where you can take in the serene natural garden which inspired a book written about the landscaping. Custom designed stained glass windows grace the front entrance and two bathrooms. The home is not visible from the street so this is truly a hidden estate in seemingly a far-away setting but only minutes to the Palisades Village. The original kitchen and bathrooms allow you the opportunity to make it your own and modernize to your taste. 676 Via Santa Ynez is a property which doesn't come along often and is ideal for nature lovers, creatives and those seeking a refuge from a busy city lifestyle.
