Far from the hustle and bustle of city life, Hummingbird Nest is an oasis of tranquility and majestic beauty. Extending over 126 acres, the estate’s landscape transitions from the earth tones of the Santa Susana Mountain that surround it to the vibrantly colored blooms of the native plants lining its curbing roadways and lush green pastures. There are so many things here that please the eye and inspire the soul, among them bubbling fountains, meandering pathways, hidden gazebos and spectacular mountain vistas. This is truly an extraordinary location for events ranging from weddings and formal dinners to award ceremonies and charity balls. Corporations also find that Hummingbird’s serene environment is conductive to successful meetings and seminars. A picturesque backdrop and distinct atmosphere bound to remain indelibly marked in every guests’ memory. Presiding over the property at the top of a hill is the 17,000-square-foot sprawling Colonial Spanish style residence. Arched entryways, curved columns, tiled staircases and the prodigious use of fancy ironwork add grace and drama to the crisp white façade. At the front of the building, the main circular court with its central fountain has such a lovely view that is often used during the ceremony or reception as a backdrop to the bride’s dramatic entrance down the front steps of the villa.
