About 9885 Deerhaven Drive
Welcome to this one-of-a-kind mid-century modern estate, tucked behind private gates in the prestigious hills of Cowan Heights. Set on nearly an acre, this single-level 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence is the lowest-priced home in Cowan Heights, offering a rare opportunity to build equity while enjoying a private, resort-style lifestyle. Inside, walls of floor-to-ceiling glass flood the formal living room with natural light and frame serene garden views in every room of the house. At the heart of the home, the newly renovated kitchen—with high-end appliances and generous counter space—opens to the dining area and out towards the outdoor grill area. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat with vaulted ceilings, an oversized walk-in closet with direct laundry access, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a marble double-sink vanity and walk-in shower. A private office and two additional guest rooms provide space for work or relaxation. There are two additional bedrooms in the main level of the home. A standout feature is the detached guest house/ADU, complete with its own private driveway and parking. This fully independent space includes a living room, kitchenette, spacious bedroom with en-suite bath, and dedicated laundry—ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or rental income. The expansive grounds, originally crafted by a renowned landscape designer, feel like a living work of art. Meandering stone pathways lead to vibrant gardens adorned with handcrafted tiles from the property’s own operable kiln and stones collected from around the world. Discover whimsical bird aviaries, a tranquil koi pond, a chicken coop, and a flourishing greenhouse. For entertaining, enjoy a built-in BBQ bar with an authentic wood-fired pizza oven, then cool off in the resort-style pool and spa or savor golden hour on the elevated sun terrace framed by dramatic architectural pillars. This is more than a home—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime lifestyle experience where privacy, artistry, and income potential converge. Opportunities like this—nearly an acre with a full ADU and plentiful parking in sought-after Cowan Heights!
