North Ranch
Deer, hawks, owls, coyotes, rabbits, squirrels, birds, frogs. These are among the lucky inhabitants of one of California’s premier places to live. They roam its lofty foothills and verdant valleys. They take refuge under its ancient oak trees and in its cool arroyos. And they, especially the frogs, provide a symphony to the ears and the eyes that resounds above all chaos.
Such is the harmony of North Ranch. Just 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles, this 12,000-acre master-planned community lies in the heart of Westlake Village. More than 6,000 people, drawn from the ranks of business executives, professionals, entertainment figures and athletes, call North Ranch home.
Developed by Prudential Insurance Company of America, beginning in the late seventies, North Ranch today offers a variety of homes and estates, from luxurious townhomes and charming ranch houses to Mediterranean, Country French and Georgian estates. Many properties afford views of the renowned North Ranch Country Club, a private club that offers both a championship 27-hole golf course and an active tennis program.
The centerpiece of the North Ranch community is North Ranch Country Club Estates, a gated enclave of approximately 200 impressive estates, built around a magnificent nine-hole expansion of the golf course.
Bordered by the Santa Monica Mountains and blessed by clean air, clear skies—and yes, abundant wildlife–North Ranch offers a comfortable, tranquil life-style, providing sanctuary from the cacophony of modern existence: a place where only the boisterous call of wildlife provides a note of dissonance.

Lake Sherwood
“When I first discovered this magnificent corner of the world, I thought that Sherwood Valley was simply one of the mostbeautiful places on earth to live.”
–David Murdock
Developer of Lake Sherwood
Today, Lake Sherwood is not only one of the most beautiful places to live; it is also one of the most exclusive. A Sherwood address connotes elegance, quality and sophistication. Behind the 24-hour gated entrances lies a spectacular 18-hole golf course, a 54,000-square-foot Georgian-style golf clubhouse and an award-winning tennis club and spa. In fact, Lake Sherwood has been honored as one the top ten luxury communities by both The Golfer and Racquet magazines’ annual “Best in America” survey.
Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, this 1,900-acre enclave lies just 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles within the City of Thousand Oaks. There are a variety of residential opportunities, from refined townhomes to custom estates, ranging in size, price and architectural style. Many of the homes offer sweeping views of the mountains, the golf course and the lake.
The community, prior to its development was the setting for many movies, including Douglas Fairbanks’ Robin Hood in 1922, from which the name Sherwood (for Sherwood Forest) is derived. Today all signs of Robin Hood are gone, but the magic remains, lending enchantment, tranquility and endless beauty to those fortunate enough to share in the Sherwood life-style.
