Tulum-Inspired Interiors in a Spanish Californian Home
Tucked away in the lush, sought-after enclave of Nichols Canyon, this Fred Smathers-designed Spanish estate has been artfully reimagined into a serene, Tulum-inspired sanctuary.
The entire space has been curated for seamless indoor-outdoor living, capturing the essence of Southern California’s year-round appeal. And just minutes from the vibrancy of Los Angeles and only an eight-minute stroll to the iconic Runyon Canyon Trail, this residence offers a rare balance of seclusion, luxury, and city proximity.

The living room anchors the home with warmth and sophistication, featuring a cozy fireplace, a state-of-the-art home theater system, and French doors that open to a lushly landscaped backyard.
The formal dining room has been reimagined for modern entertaining, flowing effortlessly into a gourmet kitchen and expansive outdoor terraces ideal for al fresco dining under the stars.
The primary suite is a true private haven, complete with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom designed for ultimate indulgence.
A private balcony and an intimate courtyard featuring an outdoor shower further elevate the experience of retreat and rejuvenation.
Three additional bedroom suites provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests, and a tower space has been converted into a home office.
Step outside to discover the original Spanish-style pool, now enhanced with a hot tub, outdoor kitchenette, and verdant greenery, a perfect backdrop for relaxation or entertaining.
Every corner of the property reflects a meticulous attention to detail, establishing a harmonious connection between architecture and nature.
The landscaped outdoor spaces are designed to capture sweeping sunset views, whether lounging by the upgraded saltwater pool and hot tub or enjoying an evening around the outdoor kitchenette. Every element is designed to maximize the beauty of the natural surroundings while providing the utmost in privacy.
The house is listed for $6,495,000 with Shauna Walters and Nicole Plaxen of The Beverly Hills Estates.
