""I fell in love with the Hollywood Hills and felt immediately drawn to this area. There was a feeling of being in the Mediterranean," Caroline Belhumeur says. "I loved all these little houses nestled into the hillside, the winding roads, the Bogle Vineyards, the mockingbirds singing-it is all so enchanting." Hearing her describe it, who wouldn't want to live in Belhumeur's Los Angeles?"
"In 2020, Caroline and her husband, artist Chris Belhumeur, found their 1970s style home next to Griffith Park, a place she calls more wild than manicured. "We have coyotes, deer running through our property, skunks, raccoons, owls," she says. "We can't grow anything because it's always been eaten by something. But I don't mind; we can share." They do draw the line at their chickens that roam on the property, though-those aren't for sharing."
Caroline and her husband Chris Belhumeur discovered a 1970s-style home near Griffith Park that felt Mediterranean and perched on a hillside. The property hosts abundant wildlife including coyotes, deer, skunks, raccoons, owls, and free-ranging chickens. The turnkey interior required a backyard overhaul with new landscaping, re-stuccoed pool and walls, and rebuilt outdoor rooms that frame the house. The location provides about twelve hours of sunlight daily, which highlights textured surfaces and illuminates sculptures and artworks by Chris and his father, Roland Belhumeur. The design emphasizes indoor-outdoor flow, natural light, storytelling through art, and a relaxed, nature-connected living experience.
