Brentwood Country Estates, a gated community off of Mandeville Canyon Road, is anything but rustic. Unlike the well-established gated communities such as Beverly Park, Brentwood Country Estates in the Mandeville Canyon area of the Santa Monica Mountains is newer, smaller and lower-profile. Completed in 1991 by the Hilton family of hotels fame, the exclusive community offers 24-hour guarded gates.

This coveted Brentwood development provides a unique combination of country, city, mountains, and ocean, all in one. The development is a two hundred and fifty acre spread in which there are only fourteen estate sites. This ensures seclusion and privacy for those who desire such a lifestyle. Each estate site averages 3.85 acres, with flat building pads that range in size from 30,000 square feet to over two acres.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger owned a seven-bedroom residence here. Down the street, Quarterback Tom Brady and his former supermodel spouse, Gisele Bundchen used to reside. There are only about a dozen other home sites in this private subdivision.

The enclave is favored for its privacy and, perhaps above all, views that are stunning and incredible.
