12 Bedroom Villa in Los Angeles, California

Some homes just get under your skin from the moment you step through the door. That is exactly what happened to me with this twelve bedroom villa in Los Angeles, California. East Gate Bel Air has a certain calm energy and you feel it right away here, even when the city is buzzing just out of sight. The scale of this place really is something else. You hear thirty eight thousand square feet and maybe think, it must be grand just for the sake of it. But as I walked around, it surprised me how natural it felt. The ceilings seem to breathe above you. The layout just lets you wander, not rush. Sometimes I found myself drifting toward a window just to stand there for a bit and watch the soft California sunlight hit the LA skyline, or see the mountains press against the horizon.

People always ask about the views in Bel Air and I can honestly say you get the best of everything here. Each room opens to something new. Wake up and let your eyes just travel from the city to the ocean in the distance. Almost every corner of this home seems shaped to catch a bit of that famous LA light. There is a quiet here you do not always expect so close to the city center.

Twelve bedrooms really means everyone who stays feels like they have their own retreat. There are two master suites, one on each side of the villa, each with its own private character. I sat for a while by the window nook in one of them and lost track of time as the sky changed outside. The guest bedrooms are honestly more like suites in their own right. Ten of them, each with their own bathroom that is more spa than standard en suite. I have seen friends linger over breakfast just not wanting to leave this bubble.

The kitchens are actually used. There are three of them and each has its own personality. One feels just right for a Sunday breakfast with the windows open and the scent of fresh coffee. Another seems ready for major entertaining. Standing at the center island in the main kitchen, looking out toward the deck, I could easily imagine big family gatherings that spill out onto the terrace. Plus five separate bar areas built into all the right places. The villa sort of invites you to try them all out.

This property is built for entertaining, but in a way that just feels easy. The outdoor decks run for what feels like forever—seventeen thousand square feet where you can always find another place to sit and watch the sun set or chat while someone fires up the grill. The infinity pool is something I will not forget any time soon. In the afternoon light I just stood there and it almost tricked my eyes as the water and sky seemed to blend into each other.

Inside, the theater is not some afterthought. Forty seats, sound that pulls you right in—you could honestly lose yourself to movie night here. People have laughed about the bowling alley but once you roll a ball late in the evening with friends, you will see why having four lanes matters.

Collectors might appreciate the auto gallery. You might walk by and spot a classic car shining under perfect lights. There is real pride in the presentation here. For quiet moments, the wellness spa and massage room are tucked away from the livelier parts of the house. Sometimes you need a spot to just breathe and this house gives you those options too. The gym catches the morning light, with enough space and good air that working out never feels like a chore.

You will definitely find yourself reaching for a bottle from one of the two cellars, just to share a toast with friends. All the new tech is here as well, but it never steals the scene—just makes things comfortable in the background, working for you.

Every now and then, you catch kids on their bikes outside the gates or neighbors waving from down the road. This community is lively and real, but you always feel peacefully apart from the rush. Bel Air feels special like that.
