10165 La Canada Way $3,650,000

A Different Kind Of California Dream.Tucked into the hills of Shadow Hills, 10165 La Canada Way is a private equestrian estate where horses, privacy and the California outdoor lifestyle come together across nearly three acres of beautifully layered grounds. Behind the gates, a character rich six bedroom residence, resort inspired outdoor spaces, sweeping mountain and hillside views and thoughtfully designed equestrian facilities create a property that feels worlds away, yet remains remarkably connected to the city.For the equestrian, the lifestyle begins at home. A ten stall barn, currently configured with one double stall, private riding arena, round pen, tack and storage areas and dedicated horse facilities provide the infrastructure to ride, train and care for horses without ever leaving the property. Mature trees provide a beautiful backdrop throughout the equestrian grounds, while access to the Hanson Dam riding trails opens the door to miles of riding beyond the gates. Horse trail connectivity to neighboring professional training and stabling facilities adds another valuable dimension to the equestrian lifestyle.And the equestrian amenities are only part of what makes this estate so special.The home is filled with warmth, texture and an unmistakable California sensibility. Knotty pine floors, Spanish and Moroccan inspired tile, stone fireplaces, wrought iron detailing and intimate courtyards give the interiors character, while windows, terraces and balconies embrace the surrounding landscape and dramatic views. The main level offers generous living and entertaining spaces, a chef's kitchen, dedicated media room, dining and breakfast areas and three bedrooms, including a secondary primary suite, providing tremendous flexibility for family and guests.Upstairs, the primary retreat feels like its own private escape, with a spa inspired bath, sauna, oversized walk in closet, full gym and an expansive private terrace overlooking the grounds. An additional upstairs bedroom, currently being utilized as an office, creates even more flexibility, while the three car garage and additional storage provide the practical space that acreage living demands.Outside, wraparound stone terraces create multiple places to dine, entertain or simply enjoy the setting. A pool is tucked into the landscape below, surrounded by mature trees and greenery, while an outdoor kitchen with Viking grill, built in heaters, fountain and integrated sound extends the living spaces outdoors.As the sun begins to set behind the surrounding mountains, the property takes on an entirely different character, with wide open views and a sense of privacy that is difficult to replicate.What makes 10165 La Canada Way especially compelling is its ability to speak to more than one lifestyle. For the equestrian, it means having your horses, barn, arena and trails at your doorstep. For the buyer searching for acreage, privacy and spectacular views, it offers room to breathe and space to live differently. And for the buyer who wants both, it brings together a beautiful home and genuine equestrian functionality in one extraordinary setting.
