Set a mile south of Ventura Boulevard in Tarzana, Dar Hacienda is a resort-inspired, ultra-private paradise. The expansive one-story, 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Spanish Hacienda-style residence blends timeless architectural character and old Hollywood glamour, all nestled back from the street behind gates on a sweeping flat lot of over 25,000 sq. ft. A double-gated circular driveway, grand front entrance portico, mature landscaping, and striking curb appeal introduce a home rich in history and design, where original craftsmanship and thoughtful upgrades come together to create a one-of-a-kind secure home and retreat. Inside, the home unfolds with warmth and intrigue, elevated by vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, skylights that bathe the interiors with natural light, and hand-lathed plaster walls that illuminate. Centered by a dramatic fireplace, the main living space flows seamlessly into a generous dining space with built-in seating under soaring ceilings, and views out to the pool and the private gardens. A charming breakfast area, framed by curved bay windows, invites morning light into a wood-paneled sitting room with original built-ins, offering a cozy, character-filled escape. Moving through French glass doors reveals a library with built-in cabinets, presented behind hand-beveled glass, that include a dedicated den/office, creating a flexible and inspiring workspace across from a reading nook in the bay window. Altogether, the space provides a singularly unique cinephile's media room. The chef's kitchen is inviting and functional, blending old-world charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Warm wood glassed cabinetry complemented by a chef's suite of appliances, including dual ovens, a generous refrigerator, a Viking cooktop with hood, is accompanied by a rare indoor Char-Glo Thermador barbecue and grill - an entertainer's dream that adds a touch of vintage luxury and culinary versatility. A wine fridge and multiple pantry spaces, including a walk-in, provide ample storage for both everyday living and hosting. The primary suite is a retreat, complete with its own fireplace and sitting area, offering tranquil pool and garden views. The spa-like en-suite bathroom features two separate, complete sinks and mirrors, a soaking spa tub for two, and a bidet toilet. There is a hidden room that can be used as a quiet office, gym, or nursery, with secure access to the back garden. The main guest room has its own charm, with more vaulted ceilings, two closets with distinctive white oak doors, and bay-window views through Birds of Paradise out to the citrus orchard. In the north wing, two bedrooms share a beautifully preserved Old Hollywood-style bathroom with hand-painted tile, a sunken spa tub overlooking the garden, and a double-headed shower. Additional spaces include a lower-level guest room with its own garden entrance and beamed ceilings, an upper-level guest bedroom with skylights and cathedral ceilings, and a powder room. The stunning backyard is a resort-like oasis thoughtfully curated for relaxation. It features a renovated saltwater pool and spa with waterfalls that reflect the home's Hacienda style. Multiple seating areas, a custom gas fire pit, and an outdoor kitchen enhance the outdoor experience. Lush, mature landscaping surrounds the property, including towering California redwoods, fruit trees, rose gardens, and thoughtfully designed raised garden beds. Additional highlights include solar panels, dual-zone HVAC, tankless water heater, newer roof, security cameras, and two-car garage with ample parking for more cars. Located in a prime Tarzana pocket south of Ventura Blvd, just moments from top rated schools and local favorites like Sol y Luna, Blu Jam Cafe, Vino Wine & Tapas Room, and the shops and dining along Ventura, as well as nearby hiking trails, golf courses, country clubs and parks, this estate offers a rare combination of unique architectural integrity, privacy, and lifestyle.
