1372 Benedict Canyon Drive sits at the end of a long gated drive on an acre and a third, which is a great deal of land this close to town. The compound reads as a garden first and a house second: meandering paths lead past a spa, a vintage Airstream, a fire pit, and a series of water features worked into the planting.

At the center is a two-bedroom villa of 2,274 square feet, built in 1948 and finished in textured stone and brick with wood floors and exposed beams. Rooms open to the canopy on nearly every side, and a covered loggia looks straight out over the treetops.

The lot runs to 58,249 square feet, nearly all of it planted. The address is Beverly Hills Post Office, a few minutes from town but at the far end of a private drive.
