7661 CURSON TERRACE, LOS ANGELES CA 90046

This is not a rendering. This is not AI. This is one of the most ambitious private residences ever built in the Hollywood Hills. Newly completed after a decade-long construction process, this extraordinary modern villa rises from Los Angeles' most iconic promontory, a legendary site once owned by Howard Hughes. Designed by Scott Mitchell Studio, the celebrated firm behind Nobu Malibu and many of Southern California's most significant $100M estates, the home represents a level of craftsmanship and permanence that is nearly impossible to replicate today, with over $30M invested in board-formed concrete alone. High on Curson Terrace, an ultra-exclusive street with only five homes, the estate occupies over an acre with no neighbors on either side and protected state land behind. Floating above the city like a private oasis in the sky, it captures sweeping 270-degree views from Downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean. Positioned between Chateau Marmont, Tower Bar, and the Hollywood Bowl, the home offers complete privacy while remaining connected to the energy of the city. Private access to Runyon Canyon further enhances its rare setting. The architecture is both monumental and serene. Layered terraces, expansive decks, walls of steel-framed glass, and a seamless integration of fire, water, and landscape create an effortless connection between indoors and out. Every room is oriented toward the view. A long cobblestone driveway leads to a nearly 4,000-square-foot motor court designed to showcase a world-class collection of automobiles. Arrival unfolds through landscaped terraces, dramatic water features, and a striking steel-and-glass entry. Inside, formal and informal living spaces flow seamlessly together, opening completely to the outdoor entertaining areas through disappearing walls of glass. The exterior is anchored by a dark-stone 100-foot infinity pool and spa overlooking the city, complemented by a sunken fire lounge, huge outdoor decks, covered outdoor living spaces, and a standalone pool bar connected by a breezeway. Native landscaping, mature oaks, and curated outdoor environments create the atmosphere of a private resort above Los Angeles. The upper level is dedicated to an exceptional primary suite with dual dressing rooms, separate bathrooms, and a private study. The lower level features a state-of-the-art screening room, billiards lounge, bar, and entertaining spaces organized around a secondary entry foyer connecting directly to the motor court, which can also be transformed into a conditioned modern ballroom. Built by JRC Group and engineered with more than 100 caissons extending approximately 100 feet into the earth, the residence incorporates a multi-million-dollar Jada steel door package, bespoke millwork, and custom audio-visual systems throughout. With construction costs exceeding $5,000 per square foot before land acquisition and building regulations now preventing a project of this scale from being recreated, the estate stands as a singular achievement. There is simply nothing else like it. The only Scott Mitchell residence with a city view, this is a landmark estate where architecture, engineering, privacy, and provenance converge at a level that may never be repeated. This is a one of a kind that can never be done again.
