A Sculpted Retreat in L.A.’s Upper Riviera

Perched in the coveted Upper Riviera neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, 1535 Umeo Road is a gated estate that seamlessly blends modern luxury with timeless design, offering a serene, resort-like experience just moments from the heart of Los Angeles. Enveloped in tranquility and surrounded by manicured gardens, this six-bedroom, nine-bathroom residence—comprising a main house and a versatile guest studio—spans over 8,600 square feet of thoughtfully crafted living space.

From the moment you enter the gates, it’s clear this home was designed with a rare level of care and intention. The architecture and interiors channel understated sophistication, while state-of-the-art amenities create a lifestyle that is both indulgent and effortless. Every room has been curated for connection—whether hosting intimate gatherings or large-scale celebrations, the home offers abundant space for entertaining, relaxing, and unwinding.

The residence's dramatic ocean, mountain, and parkland views are among its most defining features. From the rooftop deck with a pergola to the private balconies and the expansive backyard, every vantage point captures unforgettable sunsets and sweeping panoramas that stretch from the lush expanse of Will Rogers State Park to the shimmering Pacific.

Inside, the home is a masterclass in contemporary comfort. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with premier Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, a 146-bottle wine fridge, a walk-in butler’s pantry, and custom cabinetry. An adjacent indoor-outdoor bar area and game room provide a lively, all-season space for entertaining, while a dedicated home theater and gym cater to daily wellness and leisure. Throughout, you’ll find radiant heated floors, three fireplaces, and an artisan-crafted glass elevator adorned with a one-of-a-kind mural—details that speak to the home’s elevated design.

The primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with its own fireplace and a newly reimagined spa-style bathroom featuring a steam shower, dual Toto toilets, and a sculptural freestanding soaking tub. Every guest room is en-suite, ensuring comfort and privacy for all.

Outdoor living reaches new heights with a suite of amenities rarely found in a private home. From the infinity-edge pool and spa to a fire pit, outdoor shower, and sports court with pickleball and half-court basketball, the estate invites year-round recreation. A spacious entertaining deck features a built-in BBQ and beverage fridge, ideal for alfresco dining beneath the stars.

Renowned landscape designer Stephen Block of Inner Gardens has transformed the grounds into a zen-inspired haven with fruit trees, succulent-covered hillsides, and a blend of teak and stone hardscaping. A detached guest studio offers additional flexibility, ideal as a home office, creative studio, or private retreat.

Smart home systems enhance every corner, with Lutron-controlled lighting and shades, a 16-camera security system, Elk alarm, interior and exterior fire sprinklers, solar panels, and a whole-home RO water purification system offering peace of mind, sustainability, and convenience.

Just minutes from the iconic Riviera Country Club, Brentwood Country Mart, Santa Monica, and top-tier schools, 1535 Umeo Road is more than a residence—it is a lifestyle. This extraordinary estate offers refined, resort-style living in one of Southern California’s most sought-after enclaves.
