The owners created a 1,000-square-foot, multilevel edible garden on the grounds, where they harvest their own fruits and vegetables.
A newly listed $13.75 million Los Angeles estate is taking the concept of farm-to-table living to another level—with an expansive edible garden that allows its owners to harvest fresh produce just steps from their kitchen.
Located at 1877 Rising Glen Road, just minutes from the Sunset Strip and Beverly Hills, the 8,339-square-foot contemporary residence is coming to market on Sept. 15 with Cory Weiss of Douglas Elliman.
While the sprawling property boasts custom interiors by Kathleen and Tommy Clements of AD100 firm Clements Design, one of its most unusual amenities can be found outside.

The 1,000-square-foot, multilevel edible garden produces fruits and vegetables throughout the year. (Ryan Lahiff) The current owners created a 1,000-square-foot, multilevel edible garden on the grounds, where they harvest their own fruits and vegetables throughout the year.
The elaborate garden is professionally serviced three times a week, helping to maintain what amounts to a private urban farm in the heart of Los Angeles.
Professionally designed gardens of this scale and caliber can represent a six-figure investment, with comparable landscape projects ranging from approximately $100,000 to upward of $250,000, depending on their design and infrastructure.
For the future owner, the garden offers the opportunity to embrace a farm-to-table lifestyle without ever having to leave home, bringing produce quite literally from the backyard to the kitchen.
The edible garden is just one element of the property's expansive outdoor setup.
Set on more than a half-acre, the estate was designed for indoor-outdoor living, incorporating disappearing walls of glass that open the interiors to the surrounding grounds.
The property boasts city views and a rare flat backyard, where an 80-foot swimming pool serves as a centerpiece of the outdoor space. The lengthy pool is further enhanced by a marble waterfall.
Inside, the residence has been customized with upgrades by Clements Design, whose work extends throughout the contemporary interiors.

The home includes a gym. (Ryan Lahiff) At the center of the home is a chef's kitchen equipped with Miele appliances, as well as a dramatic floor-to-ceiling wine refrigerator.
Additional living and entertaining spaces include a library outfitted with floating walnut bookshelves, a home theater, gym, bar and lounge.
The primary suite offers another connection to the outdoors, opening directly onto the grounds and providing easy access to the open-air spaces.
Beyond the main residence, the estate features a separate lower structure designed to provide additional privacy and flexibility.
That space includes a full bedroom suite, living room, and lounge, allowing it to serve as private accommodations for guests or alternatively be used as a home office.
The combination of the separate structure, expansive grounds, and numerous entertainment spaces gives the property a variety of areas for both hosting and everyday living.
But it is the sizable edible garden that provides one of the estate's more distinctive offerings, particularly given its location just minutes from some of Los Angeles' best-known neighborhoods.
