Inside 5510 Jed Smith Rd: Photos, Floor Plans, and Design Details of the Calabasas Compound
By Marcus Vance
The estate's exterior aesthetic trades traditional rustic timbering for crisp, monolithic proportions. Board-and-batten siding painted in crisp designer white contrasts against black-trimmed standing-seam metal rooflines and matching commercial-grade steel casement windows. This visual rhythm creates clean verticality without alienating the neighborhood’s pastoral equestrian heritage.
A sweeping circular private motor court paved in custom charcoal pavers sits anchored behind secondary electric privacy gates. The motor court can park more than ten vehicles comfortably, flanked by a three-car subterranean-ready garage bay with built-in fast-charging infrastructure. Heavy privacy landscaping lines every fence line: mature olive trees, thirty-foot ficus hedges, and native California white oaks eliminate any direct sightlines from adjacent horse trails or neighboring parcels.
