Inside the $125 Million Architectural Icon in the Hollywood Hills
The architectural ambition of 7661 Curson Ter has redefined what modern luxury means in the Hollywood Hills. Rising on nearly an acre of one of Los Angeles’s most coveted promontories, this newly completed 22,000-square-foot residence—designed by the acclaimed Scott Mitchell Studio—brings together engineering mastery, sculptural design, and panoramic views stretching from the skyline to the Pacific Ocean. For readers who follow the most prestigious listings in California Real Estate, this home reflects the rare convergence of scale, location, and craftsmanship that only appears once in a generation.
A Decade of Craftsmanship and a Site Steeped in Provenance
Completed in 2025 after a decade of construction, 7661 Curson Ter stands on land once owned by aviation tycoon Howard Hughes. The home was built with over three feet of poured-in-place concrete walls and more than 100 structural caissons descending 100 feet into bedrock. This level of engineering, according to the listing team, would be nearly impossible to replicate under today’s codes. As listing agent Branden Williams shared with Luxury Houses Magazine, “This residence isn’t just built to impress—it’s built to endure. Homes like this can’t simply be approved again in the Hollywood Hills.”
Transaction history reflects the dramatic transformation of the site. Public records show sales at $4 million in 2013, $6.85 million in 2014, and $8 million in 2015, before construction began on what would become one of the most ambitious estates in Los Angeles Real Estate. Its current $125 million asking price represents the evolution from a prime piece of land into an irreplaceable architectural landmark.

Design That Blends Nature, Structure, and Light
The layered, terraced form of the villa is shaped to embrace the hillside’s natural contours, allowing every major space to open toward uninterrupted city and ocean views. Floor-to-ceiling glass wraps the living room, dining area, and family spaces, creating a seamless connection to the outdoor decks, infinity pool, Itauba-wood terraces, and sunken fire pit.
Inside, the residence features seven bedrooms and twelve baths, complemented by a screening room, billiards lounge, wine cellar, fitness spaces, and a private study. The primary suite occupies an entire upper-level wing, complete with dual dressing rooms and separate spa-level baths. Co-listing agent Rayni Williams told Luxury Houses, “Every inch of this home reflects intentionality—from the millwork to the steel door systems. Nothing was chosen for show. Everything was chosen for longevity.”

Privacy at the Center of the Hollywood Hills
Although the estate sits near iconic destinations such as Chateau Marmont, the Hollywood Bowl, and Tower Bar, it maintains remarkable seclusion. With no neighbors on either side and protected state land behind the property, future development cannot intrude on its privacy. Direct access to hiking trails in Runyon Canyon adds a dimension of nature that is rare at this elevation. The combination of urban energy and hillside serenity has made the address one of the most coveted in California Real Estate offerings this decade.
The home’s concealed motor court accommodates more than a dozen vehicles and can even be transformed into a climate-controlled ballroom for grand receptions. It is this blend of versatility and grandeur that prompted Branden Williams to add in a follow-up conversation with Luxury Houses Magazine, “This estate is designed for both moments of quiet retreat and extraordinary events. Few properties deliver both so effortlessly.”
