Apache is functioning normally
In Encino Hills, a place where hillside mansions reign supreme, flat lots are outliers.
But this newly built, ultra-luxurious estate in Encino Hills sits on a sprawling 1.1-acre lot of completely flat, usable land — maximizing every square inch of the property for its future owners’ gain.
As such, the newly built home can offer a whole suite of amenities that aren’t easy to come by, including a grand driveway, a full-size basketball court, a resort-style zero-edge pool, two cabanas, and plenty of indoor-outdoor entertaining spaces.
Listed for $14,995,000 with Farah Levi of The Agency and Joshua Altman of Douglas Elliman, the brand-new Encino house is one of the city’s most impressive homes currently on the market. But you don’t have to take our word for it, we’ll let the pictures do all the talking.

A brand new, contemporary home in Encino Hills
Nestled in the peaceful, hillside neighborhood of Encino Hills, known for its beautiful views and quiet atmosphere, the 12,034-square-foot home was completed in 2024.
The newly completed residence has 6 bedrooms and 10 baths and a range of upscale amenities, including a gourmet kitchen, a game bar with mounted TVs, a movie theater, a fitness and wellness center, and more.
Sitting on a fully flat, 1.1-acre lot
Unlike the rest of the homes in this hillside enclave, the house at 4640 Petit Avenue in Encino is positioned on completely flat, fully usable land, maximizing every square foot of its generous 1.13-acre lot.
A palm tree-lined driveway leads up to the home
Set behind a gate located far back from the street for maximum privacy, the driveway leading up to the house is lined with 13 towering palm trees, setting up the scene for the luxury that lies ahead.
Over 12,000 sq. ft. of luxury interiors
Inside, we find an impressive 12,034 square feet of luxury interiors with distinctly contemporary aesthetics, modern furnishings, and upscale finishes. Tall, 12-foot pocket doors open up to the outdoor areas, making them part of the decor.
With a grand living area
Rooms flow effortlessly from one to the next, with a massive living area anchoring the one-story modern mansion.

And a gourmet kitchen for the ages
Per the listing, “The gourmet kitchen and butler’s kitchen, equipped with top-of-the-line Miele appliances and dual islands, is an entertainer’s dream.”
Refined dining areas
Dining options abound, as the Encino house has a formal dining space — with an eye-catching wine storage display and an elegant bar with seating — as well as in-kitchen dining, and semi-al-fresco dining right outside the kitchen area (also fitted with a wet bar).
Elegant spaces embrace indoor-outdoor living
Most common areas feature 12-foot pocket doors that lead to outdoor areas, which not only provide easy access but also amplify the spaces, making them feel even larger than they are, while also flooding the voluminous rooms with natural light.
Earthy and natural tones balance the luxury
The polished interiors were expertly designed by a renowned professional design team, who opted for a palette of earthy, natural tones that exude sophistication — and which pair nicely with the warm colors and natural materials (like stone, quartz, and warm wood) used throughout.
Into the primary bedroom suite
A private retreat with a glam black onyx fireplace, the primary bedroom suite is a serene space that, much like the rest of the house, opens up to the outdoor areas through sliding glass doors.
The bathrooms scream luxury
The elegant primary bathroom has a large walk-in shower with entries on both sides standing in the middle, flanked by large his and her’s vanities on both sides.
The home has a full game bar
For the ultimate hangout spot, the house’s so-called “full game bar” has been equipped with four mounted TVs, so future residents (and their guests) will never miss a game.
Right next to a stylish home office
In tune with the house’s work/play design, we find a stylish, glass-enclosed home office right next to the game bar.
With a majestic olive tree acting as an outdoor centerpiece
“One of the home’s most unique and stunning features is the majestic olive tree,” the listing reads, “an impressive centerpiece that brings a touch of nature right into the core of your living space.”
Outside we find a full-size basketball court
The home’s most notable amenity is the full-size basketball court, which pays tribute to NBA legend Kobe Bryant — sporting both Kobe’s logo and his jersey numbers, No. 8 and No. 24.
And a whole suite of outdoor amenities
Stepping outside, we find a sunken seating area with a fire pit, an infinity edge pool, lush landscaping, and strategically placed lighting that makes the entire outdoor space light up at night.
Including two cabanas
Completing the outdoor amenities are two cabanas, one facing the pool area, with the other sitting right next to the basketball court for easy access to mid-game refreshments.
With ample space for entertaining
Both cabanas offer additional space for entertaining guests and can be potentially converted to serve other purposes (like a yoga studio, workshop, etc.)
There’s also a car showroom
The parking garage — complete with sleek epoxy flooring — doubles as a showroom, with a glass wall allowing guests to peek inside.
Located in the star-studded yet family-friendly neighborhood of Encino
The property is located in Encino, a top-tier neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles known for its parks, green spaces, and recreational venues. The area has long attracted both families and bonafide celebrities calling it home.
Current residents include Selena Gomez, Machine Gun Kelly, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan, and two-time NBA All-Star Kiki VanDeWeghe.
A perfect retreat for an athlete
With its full-size basketball court, wellness and fitness-oriented amenities, and glam look, this showstopping Encino house is being touted as “a great fit for an athlete”. And we tend to agree, so we’ll be keeping our eyes on it, to see who buys this newly built trophy property.
