Welcome to a lush, resort-style backyard retreat tucked into the hills of Pasadena. Surrounded by dense tropical landscaping and layered garden terraces, this private outdoor space offers a vibrant yet relaxed setting ideal for fashion, swimwear, resortwear, and tropical lifestyle editorials, as well as small video productions. The garden blends rich greenery, textured pool features, and classic California outdoor living to create multiple shoot-ready backdrops within one cohesive space. From the pool and waterfall feature to shaded lounge areas, hillside steps, a tucked-away hammock retreat beneath the trees, and a covered bar terrace with a newly styled Moroccan-inspired seating area, creative teams can move easily between different looks during a single shoot. The pool is framed by palms and mature tropical plants, with a vintage 1960s faux-rock waterfall that adds texture and movement to the setting. From the pool and waterfall area, wider shots capture views of the rugged San Gabriel Mountains in the distance, while a nearby garden deck offers a different vantage toward the softer, tree-filled hills of the surrounding San Rafael neighborhood. ☀️ Features You'll Love • Classic in-ground pool surrounded by lush tropical landscaping • Vintage 1960s faux-rock waterfall adding movement and texture to the setting • Multiple distinct shoot zones including: waterfall + rock poolscape; fireside deck lounge; terraced garden steps; hammock retreat; covered bar with Moroccan-inspired seating 📸 Production-Friendly Amenities • Interior access to a private suite with full bathroom and changing space for wardrobe and hair and makeup • Quiet residential hillside setting suitable for interviews and light video recording • Responsive host available for coordination and day-of questions Parking and load-in should be coordinated in advance.
