Since the back of the home is facing west, views of the Santa Monica Mountains are even more spectacular while the sun sets.
Listing agent Mark S. Gruskin told Business Insider that the draws of the property (described as "vibrating at the highest level atop Saddle Peak" and as having "spiritual elements" in Westside Estate Agency's listing) are its unique architecture, quiet location, and amazing views.
"The most likely buyer for the home is probably someone who is both creative and spiritual, which could be anyone including an artist, musician, entrepreneur, or just someone who treasures bold architecture in a secluded, serene, and naturally beautiful setting," he said.
