The Secret Garden

Some backyards are nice. This one feels like a secret. Tucked behind tall trees and lush native landscaping in a quiet Pasadena neighborhood, this is the kind of place where your shoulders drop the moment you walk in. A custom saltwater pool winds through a garden that guests keep calling a "secret garden" and a "private resort" — and honestly, they're not wrong. Float in the deep end. Recline on the in-water tanning ledge. Watch the San Gabriel Mountains peek through the canopy while the lavender and sage do their thing. When you're ready for dry land, the space opens into three distinct hangout zones: the pool deck with oversized umbrellas and loungers; the lounge patio with a full sectional, hammock, and fire table; and a dining area with a large table for the whole group. For something a little more tucked away, there's also a grotto — a bistro table surrounded by plants with a fountain trickling in the background. It's the kind of spot people wander into and don't leave. The space includes: 36' x 16' custom saltwater pool 6' deep end + in-water tanning ledge with loungers Elevated stone spa Fire pit lounge area + separate patio with sectional and hammock Multiple shaded umbrellas + mature tree canopy Pool house with private bathroom, fridge, freezer & ice maker Towels, floats & sunscreen provided Sonos sound system San Gabriel Mountain views Quiet neighborhood. Full privacy fencing. Butterflies included, no extra charge.
