Step into the pages of Hollywood history with this rare and magnificent Spanish Hacienda Estate, an architectural masterpiece originally commissioned for legendary Hollywood talent agent Dema Harshbarger. Built for a luminary who shaped the golden age of entertainment, spearheading NBC hits like The Fred Allen Show and serving as press agent for the iconic Hedda Hopper, this historical home is a preserved treasure of timeless design and glamour. Poised on over two panoramic acres between two APN numbers, this estate offers an extraordinary setting with breathtaking views stretching to the ocean. The estate boasts unmatched privacy, making it a haven of endless possibilities. The gated entry welcomes you to 'El Retiro' where you'll journey down a long drive surrounded by lush grounds to find a spacious motor court. Step inside to find the impressive living room with double-height, wood-beamed ceilings, french doors, a stately fireplace, period light fixtures, and wrought iron details sourced from around the world. A grand staircase leads to two well-appointed bedroom suites, with the primary showcasing some of the property's best views, french doors, and a private balcony. The south wing of the main level has an additional bedroom suite, a wood-paneled study with fireplace, and a separate library. Off the living room, a large dining room enjoys sweeping views and opens to the rear patio through french doors. The kitchen is full of possibilities, complemented by a separate breakfast area bathed in natural light from numerous windows. Beyond the kitchen, a dedicated laundry area leads to stairs accessing a private bedroom suite and additional flex space. On the ground level, there's a bonus room with its own bath and separate entrance. Each bathroom in the home exudes vintage charm, adorned with exquisite period tiles and fixtures. An attached two car garage and two separate basement areas provide abundant storage space. Outdoors, a large brick patio is elevated and separate from the refreshing pool, perfectly positioned to enjoy the unobstructed views. Whether you're seeking a private retreat, a show-stopping entertaining space, or a piece of living history, this estate delivers a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
