Actor Heather Graham Parts Ways With Her Longtime Hollywood Compound for $2.85M

The American actor, writer, and director lists her Spanish-style villa after owning it for over 20 years.

Tucked away below the iconic Hollywood sign, the Beachwood Canyon compound located at 2980 Belden Drive has had quite the list of notable names tied to it since 1927. 

Once home to late American novelist Zane Grey, the 2,150-square-foot property is today known for serving as the longtime residence of actress Heather Graham, who bought the compound in 1998 for $880,000.

Aside from the carriage-house-style two-car garage, much of the 2,150-square-foot home is hidden from street view, creating a private oasis within the coveted area of Beachwood Canyon.

Now, two decades later, the Boogie Nights star is officially parting ways with the three-level Spanish-style home, placing it back on the market for $2,850,000. Featuring three bedrooms, five bathrooms, an eat-in chef’s kitchen, as well as a striking wood-paneled library, the historic estate also comes with ample outdoor space, including tiers of gardens that lead to a grassy lawn, swimming pool, and built-in barbecue area.

“It’s a very romantic and dreamy estate with magical views of the canyon,” says Elizabeth Halsted, the agent listing the property. “It feels like a mini-estate. It’s very private; it feels like it’s being taken care of by the canyon.” 

Bright, airy, and spacious, the two-story living room is steeped in historic charm, featuring the home's original wooden mantel, beamed ceilings, and open brick staircase.

  • Suncrest Residence

    This new residence is located on a pristine site comprised of a mature douglas fir and pacific madrone forest, with occasional rocky clearings and several small ponds. Our clients desired a work of architecture that minimized site impacts while creating a work of architecture that utilized their favorite materials (wood and concrete) and connected them intimately with the land and the view. The home is situated where the forest gives way to a large rocky clearing with views to the sea. The structure is ‘wrapped’ around a prominent outcropping of rock and carefully situated to require a minimum of tree removal. The long, narrow footprint of the home allows every room a view of the sea while also retaining a strong connection to the surrounding forest.

  • Outlook Shelter

    Finding reprieves of green and calm amid the chaos of New York City is no simple task. Governors Island, an 172-acre island just off the southern tip of Manhattan, has filled that need in recent years with a 43-acre public park filled with rolling hills, historic structures, and even a zipline. It’s only a short ferry ride from downtown Manhattan or Brooklyn’s Pier 6 to reach this car-free oasis. Instead of settling for a mere day trip, though, Collective Retreats encourages lingering for a while with its newest endeavor, the Outlook Shelter. Open from May through October, Governors Island combines lush parkland, easily bikeable paths, art installations, nap-inducing hammocks, and trendy food and drink outlets. Even with annual events like the Jazz Age Lawn Party and the Rite of Summer Music Festival packing crowds, Governors Island was devoid of overnight possibilities until summer 2018. That’s when Denver-based Collective Retreats opened the seasonal Collective Governors Island, a menagerie of rustic, stylish tents—some tricked out with private baths—featuring beds wrapped in high thread-count linens and Turkish towels.
