Inside the $42 Million Fryman Estate: a Private Canyon Retreat Where Luxury and Wellness Converge

In the hills of Studio City, Studio Rob Diaz expertly reimagined a storied lot into a rustic modern retreat.

Diaz’s team made concerted efforts to mold the lush outdoor canvas into a living space. “The home is a very large horseshoe with two detached limestone-clad buildings anchoring the rear of the property,” he says. “Central gardens, a large 90-lap pool and several outdoor inlets connect the home to the landscape hillside beyond, which has century-old trees as a backdrop.”

While the home’s openness may allow nature to shine through, privacy was still essential to the layout. “Thanks to the landscaped grounds and stone-clad perimeter walls, the property enjoys complete privacy from every angle,” notes Tyrone McKillen, co-founder of Plus Real Estate.

Inside, the style of each room was mindfully executed, transforming the interiors into something straight from an art gallery. “The cloud living room, which sits right of entry, is ethereal in nature and captivates one immediately upon entering the home,” Diaz details. Bespoke lighting lends the living room its whimsy, with multiple chandeliers reminiscent of glassy, upside-down balloons.

The Fryman Estate's crown jewel is the living room, where a whimsical light installation and artwork provided by Creative Art Partners takes center stage.

Another standout feature of this canyon retreat is its health-conscious amenities. “One of our rear buildings is entirely built for wellness, featuring a group spa, cold plunge, showering systems, massage and sauna,” says Diaz.

From a chalet-inspired bunk room to a dark and moody bar and 45 site-staked olive trees, “There are countless custom details throughout the property,” McKillen continues. “While the photos look amazing, you really have to experience it in person.”

For those with piqued interest, McKillen states, “the ideal buyer will be health-focused, someone who values privacy and wants everything at home—workspace, fitness and wellness—while still being minutes from world-class restaurants, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and multiple airports.”

With The Fryman Estate on the market for a cool $42 million, the culturally significant and expertly designed property awaits its ideal buyer—someone who is ready to bring their own fond memories to a space that’s already proliferated with personality. “I don’t know another group that can build like this while also having this type of design sensibility,” says McKillen of Studio Rob Diaz’s masterful execution. “There’s just nothing like it.”
