Casa de Los Robles, a timeless treasure.

About the Property:
1130 and 1120 Shenandoah Road

Casa de Los Robles is a world away...a world unto itself right in the heart of the estate area of San Marino, California, and only 20 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles. No estate property like this has ever been marketed for sale in this premier location.

At last, an opportunity to own your own private resort! Gorgeous views, privacy and every amenity imaginable await you.

Casa de Los Robles ("House of the Oaks") combines the best of:The Langham Huntington Hotel, with its comforts and luxuries; of Descanso  Gardens, with its serene landscape sheltered  by the canopies of majestic oaks; of Lacy  Park, with its vast lawn; and of the  Arroyo Seco, with its natural setting, seclusion and views.

Casa de Los Robles offers the perfect blend of architectural beauty and rich history - with modern luxuries and conveniences of the highest quality throughout. The estate has both privacy and incredible panoramic mountain views. In most instances, privacy and views are mutually exclusive.  But not at Casa de Los Robles where both are in abundance. The grounds seem to have been borrowed  from the nearby Huntington Library. Together the grounds and the residence work in harmony to invoke a sense of calm and tranquility,  spaciousness yet intimacy, elegance as well as comfort.

Owning Casa de Los Robles is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Casa de Los Robles is, without a doubt, THE COMPLETE PACKAGE.

The current owners spent over 6  years lovingly and meticulously renovating and restoring the original Spanish Colonial Revival structure. They constructed a large addition which flows seamlessly into and out of the original historic structure.  They added every available modern amenity and luxurious comfort.

Casa de Los Robles has a museum-like quality and is truly a Work of Fine Art.

This 3-level residence, serviced by an elevator, was measured at more than 11,000 SF, not including a 600 SF pool house and a 2,500 SF subterranean garage for 6-8 cars.  It sits on over 2 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds that feel like 4 acres, as the residence is situated next to one of the boundaries rather than in the middle of the property.

The property is composed of 2 separate  legal lots which offer flexibility to build an additional residence or guest house,  if desired, or the ability to sell one lot separately from the other.

Entertainment possibilities are endless. Whether you wish to host an outdoor fundraising event for 500 to 1,000 people, or have more intimate gatherings indoors  or outdoors, Casa de Los Robles offers tremendous entertainment  versatility. There are 9 separate and distinct outdoor entertainment areas, ranging from patios with outdoor fireplaces to arbor-covered spaces and spacious loggias.
