This $15.995 Million Calabasas Estate Has a Two-Lane Bowling Alley in a Building of Its Own

Hidden behind a second set of gates in The Estates at The Oaks, the reimagined Mediterranean compound pairs a 16,239-square-foot residence with a detached bowling lounge, separate gym, two-bedroom guest house, basketball court and panoramic views.

A home bowling alley is extravagant. Building an entirely separate entertainment pavilion around one takes the idea considerably further.

That is the setup at 25201 Prado Del Misterio, a $15.995 million estate in Calabasas, California, where a detached entertainment center houses two full bowling lanes and its own lounge. And that is merely one component of a compound that also includes a separate gym building, a two-bedroom guest house, basketball court, two outdoor kitchens and resort-style pool, all packed onto just under an acre.

Built in 2006, the Mediterranean-style estate has since been extensively reimagined with contemporary interiors and finishes. The property encompasses 16,239 square feet, with eight bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, and occupies a particularly private position within The Estates at The Oaks, an enclave tucked behind an additional set of gates within the already guard-gated Calabasas community.

Listing agent Jordan Cohen of RE/MAX ONE calls it “THE premier trophy estate” in The Estates at The Oaks, highlighting both its unobstructed views and unusually extensive collection of amenities. The language is emphatic, but in this case the bowling pavilion alone gives the property something most neighboring mansions are unlikely to have.

One Gate Apparently Wasn’t Enough

Privacy is central to the proposition at Prado Del Misterio. The property sits within The Oaks, one of Calabasas’s best-known guard-gated residential communities, but is further positioned behind the secondary gates of The Estates at The Oaks.

That additional layer of separation gives the home a compound-like quality despite its relatively compact 0.81-acre lot. The residence has been oriented toward panoramic, unobstructed views, while landscaping and the positioning of its ancillary structures create separation from neighboring properties.

The Mediterranean exterior preserves the architectural presence expected of a large mid-2000s Southern California estate, while the interiors have been substantially reworked. According to the listing, the house was “completely reimagined throughout,” with modern design, natural stone and updated finishes reshaping the original 2006 residence.

It is a combination increasingly seen in established luxury enclaves: preserve the scale and mature setting that are difficult to reproduce, then reconstruct the interior experience around contemporary expectations.

The Kitchen Trades Old-World Formality for a More Social Plan

At the center of the principal residence is an expansive kitchen organized around a substantial island and finished with natural stone and high-end appliances. Rather than isolating the kitchen from the entertaining areas, it opens directly into the great room, allowing the two spaces to function as a single social center.

That openness provides a contemporary counterpoint to the home’s Mediterranean architecture. The property may retain the proportions and exterior identity of a grand villa, but the way people move through it is considerably less formal.

Elsewhere, a large bonus and game room provides another casual gathering area, while an elevator makes navigating the residence more practical. A temperature-controlled wine room introduces a quieter form of entertaining, particularly useful in a house where some of the more exuberant recreational amenities have deliberately been moved into their own spaces.

The arrangement prevents the main residence from having to be everything at once. It can retain its role as the central living environment while the surrounding compound absorbs some of the noisier pursuits.

And few are noisier than bowling.

The Bowling Alley Gets Its Own Building

Rather than squeezing a pair of lanes into the basement, the property gives its two-lane bowling alley a detached entertainment center of its own.

The pavilion includes a lounge, effectively creating a private bowling club within the grounds and separating the activity from bedrooms and formal living areas in the main house. That distinction may sound excessive until one considers the acoustics—and the likelihood that a serious evening of bowling will continue long after other members of the household have retired.

It is also the amenity that most clearly distinguishes the estate from the familiar Southern California trophy-home checklist. Private theaters, wine rooms, gyms and sports courts are common at this end of the market. A dedicated building constructed around two bowling lanes is considerably less so.

Cohen describes the entertainment center as “very special,” an understated phrase compared with some of the listing’s more enthusiastic language. Here, though, the feature speaks for itself: the next owner can host a bowling night without anyone setting foot inside the main residence.

The Gym Is Separate, Too

The property’s approach to recreation continues with another detached structure dedicated to fitness.

Instead of placing the gym beside the theater or carving it out of a secondary bedroom, the estate gives exercise its own building. Together with the bowling pavilion and guest house, that creates a collection of distinct structures around the principal residence, making the property function more like a compact private resort than a single large house.

The guest accommodations are similarly independent. A separate two-bedroom guest house provides family, friends or staff with a degree of autonomy that an internal guest wing cannot offer. For longer stays, that separation can be more valuable than simply adding bedrooms to the main residence.

It is an unusually dense program for 0.81 acres. The challenge with amenity-heavy properties on relatively modest lots is that they can feel overbuilt, but here the individual structures are part of the property’s appeal: entertainment, fitness, guest accommodation and everyday family life have each been given their own territory.

The Primary Suite Includes a Massage Room and Oversized Balcony

The principal bedroom suite is designed as another self-contained environment, though this time within the main house. Along with an expansive bedroom and lavish bathroom, the retreat incorporates a dedicated massage room and an oversized private balcony oriented toward the views.

That balcony matters because the estate’s elevated outlook is one of the few amenities that cannot be installed through renovation. Interior finishes can change, a theater can be upgraded and even bowling equipment can eventually be replaced, but the property’s position and sightlines are fixed.

The suite capitalizes on that advantage by turning the view into part of the private living experience rather than reserving it for formal rooms and outdoor entertaining spaces.

Cohen calls the primary suite “extraordinary,” singling out the massage room, balcony and bathroom among its features. In a house already equipped with a detached gym and resort-style grounds, the additional wellness space gives the owners another layer of privacy without requiring them to leave their own quarters.

Outside, Nearly Every Part of the Acre Has a Job

The backyard program is ambitious even by Calabasas standards. A custom swimming pool and spa anchor the resort environment, surrounded by covered outdoor living spaces, gardens and substantial manicured lawns.

Two outdoor kitchens allow food and entertaining to move completely outside, while a private basketball court adds another dedicated recreational zone. All of it is arranged against panoramic views and landscaping designed to preserve privacy.

The combination is especially notable given the lot size. At 0.81 acres, this is not a sprawling five- or 10-acre Southern California compound where amenities can simply be scattered across the landscape. Each part of the site has to work considerably harder.

Yet the property manages to accommodate the main house, guest house, bowling pavilion, detached gym, pool and spa, basketball court, outdoor kitchens, covered living spaces and lawns without sacrificing the central premise of a private residential retreat.

The listing calls the grounds “truly elite and spectacular,” but their more interesting achievement may simply be efficiency: an enormous amount of lifestyle has been compressed behind those gates.

There’s Still a Proper Movie Theater

Bowling may take the headline, but conventional entertainment has not been ignored.

Inside the main residence is what the listing describes as a “world class theater,” allowing movie nights to remain separate from the detached bowling center. A large bonus and game room provides yet another gathering environment, while the temperature-controlled wine room caters to a decidedly quieter form of recreation.

Taken together, the amenities allow different groups to use the estate simultaneously without necessarily sharing the same room—or even the same building. Guests could be bowling while someone else watches a film, works out in the detached gym or gathers beside the pool.

That flexibility is one of the less obvious advantages of the compound configuration. Luxury at this scale is not merely about accumulating amenities; it is also about preventing those amenities from interfering with one another.

The Asking Price Has Dropped $1 Million Since 2025

The estate’s current $15.995 million asking price represents a repositioning from its initial return to the market last year.

According to the supplied listing history, Prado Del Misterio was offered for $16.995 million in May 2025. That listing was removed in September before the property returned in April 2026 asking $16.25 million. It was subsequently relisted on June 12 at $15.995 million, or approximately $985 per square foot based on the reported 16,239-square-foot interior.

That places the current asking price exactly $1 million below the May 2025 figure, a reduction of roughly 5.9%.

The property’s earlier transaction history provides a more dramatic comparison. Records supplied with the listing show that the estate sold for $8.7 million in April 2021 after having been marketed at $9.995 million. The current asking price is therefore approximately $7.3 million above the reported 2021 sale price, though the extent and timing of the subsequent reimagining would be important context when evaluating that difference.

The Real Flex May Be Having Enough Space to Put the Fun Somewhere Else

At the upper end of the luxury market, amenities can begin to feel predictable. Another home theater. Another wine room. Another gym. Another pool overlooking another view.

Prado Del Misterio becomes more interesting because of what happens when those features are separated from one another.

The gym does not need to occupy a spare room because it has its own building. Guests do not have to sleep down the hall because there is a two-bedroom guest house. And the bowling alley—the feature most likely to generate both noise and an enthusiastic crowd—has been removed from the principal residence altogether and turned into a destination.

That arrangement allows the 16,239-square-foot main house to remain a home rather than becoming a container for every possible amenity.

There is something almost mischievous about it. Behind the gates of one of Calabasas’s most exclusive enclaves sits a grand Mediterranean villa with panoramic views and manicured gardens.

And somewhere outside the main house, somebody can bowl a strike.
