estled in Laurel Canyon, this 1925 estate spans 1.27 acres and is listed at $4.99 million. The property, once home to Tarzan star Johnny Weissmuller—who also earned five Olympic gold medals in swimming—features a 6‑bed, 8‑bath layout and a host of unique amenities. The grounds include an authentic teepee, an amphitheater, a pool with an outdoor lounge, and a carriage house of 1,200 sq ft equipped with a brass‑accented kitchen. Additional structures comprise a two‑bedroom pool house with a chef’s kitchen, a hilltop studio overlooking the canyon, a hidden speakeasy loft, and a cabana with antique tile and double baths.

    The estate offers panoramic canyon and valley views, direct access to the park, and parking for more than twelve cars. Its interior décor blends eclectic and elegant touches, with a kitchen that feels like a work of art and a spa‑style bath retreat that blurs indoor and outdoor lines.

    Raul Gasteazoro, a Hollywood producer who recently wrote and directed the 2025 film “The Protector,” owns the property. He purchased the secluded compound in 2016 for $950,000 and is now relocating to Ojai with his son. The listing is handled by Brent Watson and Marco Salari of Beverly Hills Estates.

    Notable history: Elizabeth Taylor and Shirley Temple are said to have learned to swim on these grounds, and Weissmuller’s famous Tarzan yell still echoes through the canyon. The estate’s blend of historic charm, modern luxury, and natural beauty makes it a standout in the coveted Fryman Canyon enclave.
