About this home

Featured on Zillow Gone Wild and offered fully furnished, this legendary cabin whispers stories of old Hollywood charm and elite escape. Long rumored to be the secret hideout of the Queen of Hollywood, Myrna Loy, The Greystone Manor continues to attract discerning travelers, artists, and tastemakers from around the world. Behind the gates, a winding drive leads to this rare gem, privately situated on an acre. The atmosphere is cinematic: dappled sunlight through towering pines, a stone fireplace flickering in the great room, and expansive windows framing views that shift with the seasons. Surrounded by vibrant oaks, whispering pines, mature bamboo, and bursts of seasonal color from Japanese maples, the setting is enchanting. With parking for over 10 vehicles and a 2-car garage, the manor welcomes guests with a sense of grandeur. Once inside, the main living room features a classic stone fireplace and vaulted open-beam ceiling, paired with rich hardwood floors. The country-style galley kitchen features imported slate flooring that flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, breakfast nook, and sunroom, creating a cohesive old-world warmth. Stained glass windows and French doors enhance the ambiance, while the chandelier-lit dining room opens directly to stone patios, perfect for al fresco meals beneath the stars. The primary suite is nothing short of magical—complete with a custom stone grotto waterfall shower. Just beyond, a whimsical “through the looking glass” hallway leads to an intimate theater room—ideal for screening vintage classics with friends and family. Upstairs, you’ll find 4 more guest bedrooms and a dramatic full bath worthy of a Hollywood siren. At the heart of the manor lies the show-stopping grand ballroom—now transformed into a spectacular arcade. With soaring ceilings, dramatic picture windows, full bar, and secret passages tucked throughout, this space is an entertainer’s dream. The Manor is truly one of one, an irreplaceable jewel blending romance, history, and storybook charm. A proven income-generating property that commands top-tier nightly rates from high-end clientele. With a steady stream of short-term rental guests, it has earned a reputation as a premier luxury retreat—equal parts private sanctuary and nostalgic escape. Whether you're a buyer with an eye for investment or a romantic drawn to the mystique of Hollywood’s golden age, the manor offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of timeless California history.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1928, this property boasts unique charm and has been well-maintained to function as a luxury rental. However, the kitchen features significantly dated tile countertops and backsplash, and older-style cabinetry, despite having newer appliances. While the bathrooms are clean and offer distinctive, custom elements like the grotto shower and classic fixtures, their overall style is not modern. The property's age also implies potential for outdated major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing), aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, and minor updates would be beneficial.
