Where History Lives.

THE ESTATE

Hidden in the hills.
Unlike anywhere else.

The Houdini Estate is a five-acre sanctuary of winding garden paths, stone terraces and old-world beauty, tucked into the heart of Laurel Canyon.

Private, storied and unmistakably Los Angeles, the Estate offers a rare setting for special celebrations, community events, and professional film and photo shoots.
