Above the Canyon

Perched above Los Leones Canyon in Pacific Palisades, this architect-designed home commands views that sweep from the San Gabriel Mountains across Downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific – and from nearly every room. The expansive infinity pool sits at the canyon's edge, so you're swimming with the ocean on the horizon. Inside, the scale is resort-like – a dedicated wellness centre, home cinema, wine cellar, and a main bedroom suite that occupies its own floor. Will Rogers Beach is a sixteen-minute drive when you want sand underfoot, with Santa Monica and Malibu both close by.

Home truths:
* While most of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* This home is available for monthly stays only, with a minimum of thirty-one nights, so it's best suited to extended trips or longer-term stays rather than a short break.
* You'll find expensive artwork and ornaments in this home, so it might not be the best choice if you're travelling with young children.
* During your stay, your host may occasionally need to arrange access for viewings by prospective guests, vendors, or potential buyers. You'll receive at least twenty-four hours' notice, and your host will work with you to find a convenient time.
