There are large luxury homes.
And then there are properties that seem to operate by an entirely different set of rules.
Opal, a newly listed $53 million estate on Laurel Way in Beverly Hills, firmly belongs in the latter category.
Spanning 19,100 square feet on approximately 1.39 acres, the six-bedroom, ten-bathroom residence reads less like a traditional house and more like a private resort hidden in one of Los Angeles’ most exclusive pockets.
The property was designed and developed by Ramtin “Ray” Nosrati of Huntington Estate Properties, whose previous buyers have included Hollywood elite and some of the country’s most prominent business figures. Fashion Nova CEO Richard Saghian purchased one of Nosrati’s previous homes for $32 million in an all-cash transaction last year.
Opal is listed with Sally Forster Jones of Compass, Tomer Fridman of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California, and Jonathan Nash of Carolwood.
A grand arrival begins at the gates
The property immediately establishes its sense of scale.
Hidden behind a fortress-like enclosure of mature ficus, legacy olive trees, and towering palms, the estate unfolds through a sprawling motor court capable of accommodating up to twelve vehicles.
Before guests even reach the front door, they’re greeted by cascading waterfalls that spill into moat-inspired reflecting pools surrounding the main approach.
It’s an entrance designed to slow people down. And probably prompt a few photographs.
Towering glass frames the views
The main entry is composed of enormous glass-and-iron walls that frame vistas stretching from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean.
Inside, a soaring double-height foyer introduces the home’s resort-like scale.
Sparkling sculptural lighting hangs overhead while walls of glass ensure the city remains a constant visual backdrop.
There’s even a bridge
Because apparently a standard hallway wasn’t dramatic enough.
Guests cross a bridge path that passes a handmade rock mountain wall and a 26-foot tree art installation before entering the home’s principal entertaining spaces.
The great room was built for entertaining
At the center of the residence sits an expansive great room where a giant limestone fireplace divides two floor-to-ceiling letterbox openings.
The design allows guests to move effortlessly between indoor and outdoor areas while maintaining uninterrupted sightlines to the city beyond.
It’s the kind of room that seems permanently ready for a party.
The dining room goes vertical
Nearby, the formal dining space stretches upward beneath remarkable 24-foot ceilings.
Skylights flood the room with natural light, illuminating limewashed walls and statement shelving that feels more like a curated gallery installation than conventional storage.
The kitchen continues the travertine theme
The main kitchen embraces the home’s recurring use of natural stone, anchored by oversized travertine surfaces and a substantial block island.
Custom appliances are integrated throughout.
A cozy breakfast nook creates a more relaxed place to gather.
Then there’s the catering kitchen
Because one kitchen clearly wasn’t enough.
Hidden nearby is an enormous secondary prep space complete with a double-size commercial walk-in refrigerator.
The setup feels more suited to a boutique hotel than a private residence.
The family room gets its own showpiece bar
The family room offers another fireplace and floor-to-ceiling iron-framed windows.
But the real attention-grabber here is the wet bar.
Crafted from rare Brazilian “Tiffany” stone, it features live-edge slabs and striking teal veining that make it look almost illuminated from within.
A sightseeing elevator connects every level
Most elevators serve a purpose.
This one doubles as an experience.
A sightseeing elevator with viewing windows travels between floors, allowing owners and guests to enjoy glimpses of the property and views beyond as they move through the house.
The primary suite feels like a private hotel
The owner’s retreat occupies an entirely different category of luxury.
Rich herringbone floors set the tone, while a private viewing deck captures expansive city and ocean views.
There is also an espresso bar, because leaving the suite for coffee evidently wasn’t considered necessary.
Hidden doors lead to wellness spaces
The suite conceals another surprise.
Double hidden doors open to a private sauna and spa-inspired bath designed as a fully immersive retreat.
The bathroom embraces scale
Bookmatched stone surrounds a triple-size rainwater shower complete with a soaking tub and ledge.
A large dual-sink island vanity offers an abundance of personal space.
Everything here feels oversized and unapologetically indulgent.
The closet deserves its own headline
Among the residence’s most impressive features is a department store-like wardrobe space that ranks among the largest residential closets ever permitted in Los Angeles.
For collectors of fashion, it may be every bit as important as the views.
The leisure level becomes an entertainment destination
Downstairs, the residence shifts gears entirely.
This level was designed for recreation.
And there is a lot of it.
The wine room is larger than many dining rooms
A dramatic temperature-controlled glass wine tasting room occupies a prominent place on the amenity level.
The space feels less like a cellar and more like a destination.
The movie theater embraces old-school glamour
The cinema may be one of the home’s most memorable rooms.
A celestial ceiling creates a starry atmosphere overhead, while a dedicated snack bar reinforces the feeling that this is a proper movie-going experience rather than simply another media room.
Billiards and card rooms overlook the pool
Additional gathering spaces sit beneath viewing windows that look upward into one of the home’s more unusual features.
One of the pools has a glass bottom
The estate includes two separate infinity pools.
One of them takes the form of an eyebrow-shaped, glass-bottom pool with Baja shelves, allowing light and views to filter down into the spaces below.
It’s the kind of feature that immediately becomes a conversation starter.
Wellness was built into daily life
A dedicated gym, two reading nooks, and a media wall composed of nine screens capable of streaming multiple channels simultaneously complete the lower level.
There’s enough to do here that leaving the property may occasionally feel unnecessary.
The rooftop may be the biggest surprise
Then you reach the top.
And somehow, the house keeps going.
The rooftop offers sweeping 360-degree views encompassing the Pacific Ocean, downtown Los Angeles, surrounding mountains, and the ridgelines beyond.
Apparently, every rooftop needs pickleball
Because this is Los Angeles in 2026.
A full pickleball court occupies part of the rooftop entertainment area.
Multiple fire tables and dining spaces encourage guests to linger long after sunset.
Outdoor entertaining gets its own pavilion
Back on the main level, a dedicated barbecue cabana includes a pizza oven, wet bar, serving ledge, and a 116-inch television.
The entire setup feels ready for everything from casual family evenings to major sporting events.
The garage welcomes a serious collection
Finally, there’s the garage.
With space for up to eight vehicles in addition to the twelve-car motor court, Opal easily accommodates serious car collections.
A home that behaves like a resort
Ultimately, Opal isn’t trying to be understated.
Nor is it trying to fit neatly into any one category.
It’s a contemporary château, a private resort, an entertainment complex, a wellness retreat, and a highly personal expression of modern luxury living all rolled into one extraordinary property.
And in Beverly Hills, that’s saying something.
