705 via La Cuesta, Palos Verdes Estates—$12.8M
This Tuscan-style villa has been remodeled and expanded using top-of-the-line touches. Among the highlights: marble and tile imported from Italy, hand-painted ceiling murals and a fireplace adorned with a circa-1738 hearth recycled from a historic church in France. There’s also a mosaic-tiled pool and spa-inspired by the luxe Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

100 Vanderlip Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes—$12.99M
Known as “Villa Narcissa,” this lavish Mediterranean-style manse was built in the 1920s by Frank Vanderlip and Narcissa Cox Vanderlip, who then owned 16,000 acres of land surrounding the house. Still maintained by the Vanderlip clan—and now on the market for the first time since its conception—the 7,700-square-foot main residence now rests on 11.5 acres of ocean-view land, joined by 10 guest houses, a tennis court and pool.
