this is a fully customized minimalist modern farmhouse situated high up above
the Hollywood Hills my name is Erik Conover and I'm going to take you on a
tour of this one-of-a-kind minimalist modern farmhouse in Los Angeles
California this incredible home spans 12,500 square feet of living space it
features six bedrooms nine bathrooms and it's one of the most unique homes
currently on the market here in LA the property is listed exclusively by Sally
Forster Jones and Tamara Friedman asking thirty two million dollars entering from
the street level here at 1471 forest nul Drive this property is gated and it has
the utmost privacy for the most discerning buyer with top-of-the-line
security the architects of this property really drew inspiration from European
streets when imagining this driveway this home is situated on just about one
acre of land and it's located just minutes from Sunset Plaza the property
is also set back nicely from the road and entering even this motor core alone
you get that feeling of seclusion tucked off to the side of the motor court here
we have a multi-tiered flowing staircase that runs parallel through the driveway
and again you really see that European inspiration come through in this entry
pathway as we approach the front entryway of the home off to the left
here we have this large retaining wall creating additional privacy which is
then flanked on the right by the home itself leading it to the entry courtyard
the pathway then leads down an additional set of stairs to the entryway
where we find these two fully matured olive trees and I love how they left the
earth exposed here it really blends the exterior of the home with the natural
landscape the most dramatic part about this entryway though is the front door
which is one solid piece of oak leading in to the great room of this
entering this central space great room you're immediately hit with feelings of
minimalism but yeah it has a warm atmosphere due to the wood paneling
which covers the entirety of the walls up to the ceiling this great room is
spacious yet it's cozy it is such a large space but yet it's sectioned off
by the staging for the inspiration here at Forest Knoll the project really
became about doing the most with the least they use simple elements like
timeless wood concrete and stone finishes the aesthetic of this great
room is so interesting because the design itself with that pitch the roof
naturally draws your eye towards the back which has floor-to-ceiling glass
windows giving you some of the most incredible views of Los Angeles and
because of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the front and the back of the home
there's natural sunlight floating in here the entire day on top of the fact
like I mentioned that the ceilings are 30-foot high it gives you this massive
expansive almost cathedral-like feeling when you walk into this great room one
of the more interesting materials used to build this home are these travertine
slabs covering the floors of this great room you're probably thinking what is so
special about travertine well this stone is from the exact same quarry as the
travertine that was used to build the Roman Colosseum so yeah you have that in
your house as we make our way to the very back of this great room the
floor-to-ceiling glass walls swivel at the touch of your hand which open up the
space giving you that prime Southern California indoor/outdoor living leading
out to this backyard patio area which features a cantilever to infinity pool
the pool here really is the focal point of this mansion taking up almost half of
the backyard space the pool really accentuates the feeling of being
suspended in the sky above Los Angeles yet you are in the comfort of your own
home even down here from the pool level you can see the reflection of the home
in the water everything just works together so seamlessly to create this
feeling of luxury front and center in the outdoor space you had the fire pit
with the astroturf on either side now let's talk about the views down below
you can see Sunset Plaza with unparalleled panoramic city to ocean
views from this outdoor space here you can really see the unique shape of the
home itself this home is characterized by those three parallel that gabled
volumes this is something that you do not see in the Los Angeles area and the
fact that this home is designed after born it really makes it stand out above
the rest and each of these three volumes encloses those essential living spaces
that are all connected seamlessly by this outdoor space moving back into the
home we enter the lounge slash bar space this room in the home is purely for
relaxation you have another fireplace with that exposed concrete behind me you
have a full wet bar for entertaining your guests or even just having a drink
to mellow out and the staging of this room like the entire home really keeps
with that modern minimalistic feel heading from this wet bar area we enter
the home theater in this home theater you can fit 12 people comfortably
surround sound for complete immersion in your movie experience a top-of-the-line
sony 4k projector I mean this is actually like going to the movies that
just happens to be in your home from the impressive home theater we head back out
into the lounge area up this staircase which leads you to your very own home
fitness center this home gym has that luxury high-end boot
keek feeling of a fitness studio that you would go to in Beverly Hills you
have the mirror floor-to-ceiling wall which i think is
essential in any gym there's a peloton a few yoga mats but it really has that
flexibility to fully customize this gym however you would need it off to the
back in the gym there is a bathroom and a shower for after your workout or if
you prefer the floor-to-ceiling glass windows open up to this outdoor space
which features this very unique pipe shower you have the ficus trees around
the perimeter giving you that natural privacy for many neighbors this is
definitely a very zen holistic type of gym and it really gives off that
positive energy when you're in this space leaving the home gym heading out
to that main hallway which connects all three of the gabled barns we're gonna
head to the far right of the mansion and enter the informal living space and
kitchen this section of the home feels very livable this would be technically
the family room like the rest of this home this living room has the
floor-to-ceiling glass doors which open up really giving you that option of
indoor/outdoor living right next to the dining room table is the kitchen of this
home
in the centre of this kitchen you have the oversized island with those
luxurious waterfall edges above the center island
you have the gagging owl chimney range hood top of the line directly below it
you have the six burner wolf stove top this open shelf minimalistic style
kitchen is very on point right now it's very trendy and I really loved how they
made use of this space from this show kitchen we head down this long hallway
and off to the right tucked neatly under the staircase we have a
temperature-controlled wine cellar and this is just another one of the unique
attention to detail pieces that can be found throughout this entire home
continuing back on down this hallway we enter the chef's prep kitchen so if one
state-of-the-art kitchen wasn't enough this home features two and this one is
nicely tucked behind the main kitchen and again it's fully stacked with
top-of-the-line meal a and wolf appliances directly across from the
chef's kitchen we have another powder room and then off to the other side the
laundry room heading back to the great room and the center of this home we're
gonna now head upstairs to the guest wing of the mansion over top this
stairwell you have a skylight letting in tons of natural sunlight as you make
your way up to the second floor at the top of the stairway you're greeted by
this cozy lounge area which is perfect for reading a book there's really no
boundaries in this home you had this glass railing with a view of the great
room and it's really from up here that you can take in how impressive this
space really is from that cozy sitting area we head down the hallway of the
guest wing and we enter what is currently staged as the office and as
you can see again a floor-to-ceiling glass windows which open up giving you
those 32 million dollar Los Angeles views Southern California the warmth the
sunshine like I mentioned that this room is currently staged as the home office
but it could easily be one of the six bedrooms in the house and of course off
to the side he the full ensuite bathroom complete with
a oversized walk-in shower making our way to the end of the guest one hallway
we enter the third guest bedroom which is the largest of the three guest
bedrooms and this room has a very Zen feeling I mean the whole home has that
very relaxed feeling but especially in the staging of this room you have the
bed very low down to the floor the low night tables on either side even the
artwork on the wall which is very calming another unique thing worth
mentioning about these guest bedrooms is they all share outdoor space connected
by this beautiful outdoor patio which gets sunshine the entire day leaving the
guest wing of the home we head back into that gray room that central gable of the
home and here above the great room we have this nice lofted area I like to
think of this space as the view loft of the mansion and one of the most unique
things about this loft is over in the corner here you actually have a glass
floor where you can see straight down to the first floor of this mansion again
this is another feature that you just don't really see in your everyday
mansion I mean it's kind of crazy from this lofted area we're now making
our way to the master wing of the house and as you can see here there's actually
a secondary staircase which leads down to the kitchen area entering the master
wing of the home we're gonna head off to the right here which is the master
bathroom and the first thing that you notice in the master wing bathroom is
this beautiful marble dual vanity across from the marble vanity you have the
his-and-hers water closet secluded from the rest of the bathroom and the coolest
part of the master bathroom is behind the vanity you have this marble shower
room I think shower room is the only war that you can really say to describe this
shower you have one two three four five six showerheads in this theme control
shower this is luxury and if your shower room wasn't
the master suite bathroom also features an oversized soaking tub with a huge
window giving you perfect views from your soaking tub of Los Angeles of the
ocean making our way down the master wing hallway off to the left the entire
center area of the master suite is devoted to the closet area and then
exiting the closet heading down the hall even further yet again we have another
closet space at that previous one wasn't enough storage for your clothing the
master bedroom is the only bedroom in this mansion which features these
dramatic 14 foot high ceilings really giving off that executive feeling to
this space but then in contrast to that the master bedroom also has this cozy
coffee nook off to the side it also has a full wet bar which even includes an
espresso maker in your bedroom you look down you see your outdoor space in the
backyard with the astroturf and the infinity pool and you kind of can't help
but think to yourself if you do purchase this home you're the owner of a
one-of-a-kind handcrafted piece of living art
comment down below your favorite part of this one-of-a-kind mansion this is
hands-down one of my favorite properties we've filmed on this channel and with
that I'll see you in the next episode
