When it comes to snagging an iconic Los Angeles rental, it doesn’t get any more magical than the four-bedroom castle originally built by Walt Disney himself.

Of course, living in a home filled with Hollywood history doesn’t come cheap. At a hefty $40,000 per month, the 6,000-square-foot residence has everything an aspiring creative could ask for, including the story of Disney’s time there.

“He and his wife raised their daughters in the home and lived here from 1932 to 1950,” says listing agent Chase Campen. “It’s also where he sought inspiration for some of the most well-known Disney characters, including Snow White, Mary Poppins, and Winnie-the-Pooh.”

Disney bought the land and hired Frank Crowhurst to design the Tudor-style mansion for his family as his animation studio was gaining ground. Nowadays, the larger-than-life estate offers the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern convenience.

All of the bathrooms have been updated with modern fixtures that maintain the original look and style of the home, while the kitchen combines modern cabinetry and appliances with a refinished hardwood floor.

“Even the home theater still has the original screen Disney used, alongside a modern, drop-down projection system,” Campen says. Other notable features include parking for 10 vehicles, a rotunda entrance, landscaped walkways, a pool, and a trellis-covered outdoor dining area.

“Set in the hills of Los Feliz, this home is ideally located near some of the best parts of L.A.,” Campen says. The four-bedroom, five-bath rental is in close proximity to Griffith Park and Franklin Village.

“Disney remains arguably the biggest name in entertainment, nearly a century after its namesake built this house,” Campen says. “Not only do you have the opportunity to live in the home, but it’s also private with incredible outdoor space and views—blending living history with every modern amenity you would expect at this price point.”
