The Loma Mansion

Something subtly cinematic occurs as you pass through the stately gates of The Loma Mansion and ascend the 200-foot private drive lined with trees: the city disappears and silence descends upon the property.

The Loma Mansion, an almost acre-sized work of architecture, art, and landscape that carries the glitz of Dean Martin’s time into a modern world that demands comfort and showmanship, is situated in Trousdale Estates like a contemporary museum. It welcomes you with expansive views of the canyon, a series of terraces and courtyards, and interiors that read like a well-curated collection—rooms that are meant to entice people to stay, chat, and celebrate rather than to impress in and of themselves.

The first luxury you notice inside is scale. Over 10,000 square feet spread out along gallery corridors that seem designed for light and the display of art, as well as beneath lofty 12-foot ceilings. The Loma Mansion feels both spacious and intimate thanks to sightlines that allow the canyon to become a living painting at every angle, recessed lighting that is synchronized with the exhibits, and walls that could house a museum’s worth of artwork.

The great room, with its ample proportions, floor-to-ceiling glass, and ease of movement that encourages cocktail hours to spill outdoors, is the social hub of the house. A seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle begins as the glass doors open; dinners flow onto terraces, conversations take place under the stars at night, and canyon breezes bring a freshness to rooms that the city seldom provides.

Here, technology exists, but it’s the covert kind that doesn’t show up until you ask it to. With just a touch or voice command, Crestron home automation controls the climate, lighting, motorized shades, audio, and security, enabling The Loma Mansion to quickly change from a private family retreat to a fully-staged event. Professional-grade appliances, ample prep space, and a layout that allows staff to work efficiently while the host stays involved make up the gourmet kitchen’s equal parts form and function. The entertainment flow is maintained by adjacent service and staging areas, and careful circulation ensures that deliveries, catering, and guest movement never disrupt the action.

The house takes all calls for gathering and relaxation. A spa retreat offers a peaceful, restorative contrast to the home’s social areas, a fully equipped gym facilitates a daily routine without requiring guests to leave the property, and a dedicated theater offers movie nights with cinema-quality acoustics and immersion. When business must interfere, a private office that is connected but hidden away provides a place to concentrate, complete with views that remind you why a change of scenery helps you think more clearly.

The bedroom collection rewards retreat as day turns to night. The size, seclusion, and thoughtfully designed amenities of the master suite make it seem like the finest hotel apartment, complete with a dressing area, a place to relax, and a sense of seclusion from the outside world. The same vocabulary of light, proportion, and high-quality finishes is extended in four more bedrooms, providing family members or visitors with constant comfort and seclusion. The house can wear its scale without coming across as ostentatious because every material choice—precise joinery, tactile surfaces, and carefully chosen finishes—was chosen to feel both contemporary and cozy.

The nearly one-acre outdoor space is made up of framed views, small courtyards, and layered terraces. Down the slope are landscaped gardens that create outdoor spaces for private conversations under the stars, coffee in the morning, and cocktails at sunset. The Loma Mansion is an enclave because of its privacy, security, and long, gated approach. It is safe but ideally situated, near Beverly Hills’s culinary and cultural attractions but far enough away to feel completely your own.

What makes The Loma Mansion remarkable is less a single headline feature and more the way the parts come together—the architecture that stages light and art, the technology that serves without shouting, the amenities that enable a rich life at home. This home is made to entertain with style, live comfortably, and reward both quiet and spectacle equally. It is both a private haven where evenings are purposefully long and mornings are leisurely, as well as a venue for entertaining outside under the stars.

Activities nearby that you can partake in from the villa:

• For sweeping views of the city and canyon, try yoga or a morning hike at Runyon Canyon.
