About This Property
Franz Lederer Hacienda and Ranch. LA Cultural Historic Monument
204.
Quietly, the gate opens to a shaded lane which quickly
leads to another time, another setting, a California rancho set
apart from the bustle and care of the city below, the Franz Lederer
Hacienda. Originally formed from an original Spanish land grant,
the estate consisted of 270 acres of fertile farmland near the
headwaters of the Los Angeles River. The lane continues up to a
flat parking overlook with the West San Fernando Valley below and
Santa Monica Mountains in the near distance.Crowning the 6.7 acre
knoll is the monastery-mission style home begun by Lederer in 1934.
With his designer John R. Litke, Lederer intended the design to
mimic the style of California Missions San Luis Rey and Santa Ynez
and to house his growing collection of art and furnishings from the
14th to 19th centuries. As a true hacienda, the main house
encompasses a brick-paved courtyard with galleries on three
sides. This forms the entry and circulation to all the interior
rooms which open to it..Pass through the courtyard with its
splashing fountain. Let the living room welcome you with its
vaulted heavy-beam ceiling and specially made Spanish flooring.
Three large arched windows and massive hearth anchor this
one-thousand square foot room which flows in two directions to the
wings of the residence. To the west enter the generous dining
room which Architectural Digest characterized as "rustic splendor"
mixing "the ornate with the simple and the rugged with the
intricate." The wing continues by accessing the dining
terrace, the eat-in kitchen, and two bedrooms with ensuite baths. A
magnificent stained-glass window beckons to the east wing with its
informal den-pub room replete with banquette & bar. Pass the third
bedroom with bath and proceed to the magnificent library with its
Gothic fireplace and ancient books, codices and maps.Nearby, on the
westerly slope is the two-unit guest house, totally comprising
three bedrooms, loft, and a terrace or patio. Each unit maintains
complete privacy from the main residence.Throughout the hacienda 35
pairs of Spanish doors lead to an adjacent room, a courtyard,
terrace or garden. Most rooms feature a hearth as focus,
antique floor tiles from Spain and Portugal, beamed ceilings, and
white-washed, rough-brick walls. The artwork, sculpture, friezes,
and ceramics create an adventure into the past. Because these
details permeate the hacienda in various forms of attachment, some
remain and some are negotiable separately. All the exterior walls,
using stone quarried from the site, the imported tilework, interior
surfaces were chosen to re-create the image of Alta California.The
entire property consists of four lots serviced by the private road
as it meanders through pasture land, separate guest quarters,
quarry and gardens. Two of the lower flanking parcels are serviced
by city streets, available for greater residential density and
provide an excellent opportunity for further development, or keep
as a one of a kind private historical estate. In 2000, the entire
estate was earthquake reinforced and brought up to current codes at
an investment of millions. A thoroughly viable, modern residence
but faithful to the spirit of Old California. Two cows still
remain on the property, fittingly, a possible weekend horse ranch.
